Blended, extended, and bi-racial families will seek our services. They will want to train their children in the same values that they share. For some, these values will have to be clarified and recreation can play a role in that process. We can teach values to parents and their children in our programs. Our activities can teach integrity, discipline, leadership, and responsibility.
American civilization wants leisure opportunities.
They will want more innovative, interactive, socially fulfilling, accessible, challenging opportunities. Bigger bang for less buck. Let's be prepared by changing our services to meet their changing needs. It is only a matter of hours until tomorrow is today. Jane L. Hodgkinson, CLP is the Executive Director of the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association.
