The Council meets monthly from August through May.  The Coordinator of the Forest Park Community Education Council Larry Piekarz can be reached at the Park District 708-366-7500 ext. 12.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> The Park District gratefully acknowledges the cooperative efforts shown by the Community Education Council, the Village of Forest Park and the Forest Park Public Schools District #91 in contributing to recreation programs.  Without their help we would not be able to offer many of the programs that we do.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Forest Park Community Garden<IMG SRC="48d2ce10.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="225" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> The Park District is pleased to be able to provide assistance to the <A HREF="http://www.fpcommunitygarden.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.fpcommunitygarden.com"><I>Forest Park Community Garden</I></A> to provide growing opportunities for the Forest Park community.  To get involved in the Community Garden, to support its fundraising efforts, or for other information, visit its website at <A HREF="http://www.fpcommunitygarden.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.fpcommunitygarden.com">www.fpcommunitygarden.com</A>.  </div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="713" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#6633CC" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 267 WIDTH="323"><div> I<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#66334C" FACE="Arial" >n an effort to provide families in our district who are under- or non-insured with required physical examinations and immunizations for their children, the Ronald McDonald Mobile Medical Unit will be available at the Park District this summer.  This is a great opportunity for you to ensure that your child will be in medical compliance before school begins...at no cost to you.  Middle School sports physicals may also be obtained.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Students will be seen on a first come, first serve basis and must be accompanied by a parent.  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="371"><div> <U>Ronald McDonald Mobil Medical Unit Dates</U></div> <bR> <div> 2010 Dates:  TBA</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
