Residents and Beachwood Community Services Patrons, As the year winds down, I am excited to introduce our Winter Recreation Guide, which offers opportunities to unite our community through fun, creativity, and connection. Community Theater: A Stage for Our Youth This fall, Beachwood Community Theater brought to life an outstanding production of The Wizard of Oz Jr. , directed by the talented Julie Matthews and Debi Lewin. It was a fantastic experience for both our cast and audiences, and I want to thank everyone who helped make it a success. Up next, we’re looking forward to the winter production, SugarTown Follies (page 8), which promises to be just as memorable. Beachwood Bingo Nights: Fun for the Whole Family Our Community Services Department is introducing a brand-new event that will bring some excitement to our winter months—Bingo…Beachwood-style! These events will feature electronic bingo, prizes, and fun for all ages on December 12, January 30, and February 27. This is a perfect outing for families to enjoy, and I encourage you to bring your entire family or a group of friends to take part. See page 20 for details and how to sign up. February Freeze: Winter Fun with a New Twist Our annual February Freeze event on February 13 is back with some exciting new features. From 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., the Beachwood Community Center will transform into a winter wonderland with a mix of indoor and outdoor activities. This year, we’re enhancing the event by adding more immersive indoor experiences, including elements that will have you glowing with excitement. A Special Thanks to Our Seasonal Employees I also want to thank the camp counselors, lifeguards, and seasonal staff who are vital in making Beachwood’s programs successful. Your hard work and dedication ensure that every resident has a safe, fun, and memorable experience. If you’re considering a seasonal job, keep an eye out for upcoming opportunities to join our outstanding recreation team next summer at BeachwoodOhio.com/jobs! As you explore this Winter Recreation Guide, I encourage you to take advantage of the many programs and events Beachwood offers this season. We look forward to seeing you out and about. Sincerely,
