Come have a good time for a good cause! The 10th Annual Festival of Trees will be at the William and Mary Alumni House on Friday, December 2nd. Come to enjoy drinks and hors d'oeuvres, browse through the beautiful trees, and bid in the silent auction. Proceeds benefit our Strong Communities Campaign. Tickets are available at the Welcome Center; ask for more information.

Even as the weather gets colder, you can still enjoy the warmth and activities of summer. Just come on over to our pool and swim laps, take a water aerobics class, or just spend some time splashing around with your kids.

We have a new Aquacise class! On Tuesday and Thursday nights, come join Charlotte for a high-intensity, calorie-burning water experience.

Swim Lessons begin the week of October 31st. If you have not signed your child up, there is still time and space available. Register at the Welcome Center today. Click here for more information.
