The holiday season is here! In fact, if you are reading this shortly after publishing, the doors to our annual Holiday Bazaar at Si View Community Center have just opened (Saturday Dec 3rd, 9AM-3PM). The season is filled with community celebrations and ways to share and care for your neighbors. Si View Community Center is one of many Kiwanis Giving Tree locations where you can brighten the holidays for a local child in need with a gift of new unwrapped toys. Stop by to pick up a gift tag before you head out shopping this season.

In addition to modified holiday schedules, Si View Community Center will be closed for annual maintenance from December 19 through January 2. This is a time when the floors get refinished along with other noisier projects that can't be completed during normal use. We look forward to welcoming you back to the center on January 3rd. Over the holiday break, Si View winter break camp operates at Meadowbrook Farm, and the Si View Pool has a drop-in program schedule. Check out our holiday schedules on the bottom of this email.

And finally, before you head out for the holidays, take a look at our winter program line up, and mark your calendars for registration opening date of December 9th. Lots of great activities to choose from to keep you active and learning throughout the winter season.

See you at local parks!

Our annual Winter Break Camp for K-5 grade students is back! Join us for a single day or all school break days from Monday December 19 through Monday January 2nd. This camp is housed at Meadowbrook Farm with lots of opportunities for outdoor play, field trips to the North Bend Theater as well as the Si View Pool. Camp activities are from 9am-4pm with extended care available from 6:30am to 6:30pm. This is a great option for busy families, as you can select days that meet your needs.

Space is limited, sign up for the fun today!

Open enrollment begins soon! Winter guides are arriving in local mailboxes any day now. You can browse our winter program selection online today, and registration opens Friday December 9th. We encourage early registration as many popular programs fill quickly. Aquatic programs sign-ups open at 7am, all others at 12am.

Whether you are looking for a team sport, fitness class, art program or swim lessons, we have options for everyone! Some of the new fun options this winter include Adult Prom, Saturday morning Community Play, Youth Flag Football League, Teen Hikes with transportation from TFMS, new Yoga classes, Pickleball indoor tournament and ultimate frisbee.

We recently hosted the first of two community listening sessions to gather feedback about the Si View aquatic center proposal that narrowly missed the 60% super majority last summer. The feedback we have received to-date is very valuable in helping us shape and clarify our messaging and expand our outreach efforts in the community. We appreciate the community's active participation and encourage you to stay informed!

An online survey seeking your feedback on the last proposal and next steps is open until December 29th. What was missed in the August 2022 aquatic center proposal? Are there other non-aquatic amenities that should be considered in a future proposal? How can we best communicate project related information to you? What other options should we consider? Please take a few minutes to provide feedback by completing the Online Survey today.

As we consider options, it is all with a goal of developing a new proposal to present in November 2023, providing our community an option for a new aquatic center in North Bend. We invite you to participate in this process, stay informed and share information with your neighbors. If you missed the November listening session, save the date for the next event on Wednesday February 1st, 6:30PM.
