The first class will be designed for 12 years of age and up. Outside Program at the Ross Municipal Center Open Field in the planning stages Please let the Recreation Department know if you would be interested in taking archery lessons, and what would be the best after-school or weekend time to attend. Call CB at the Recreation Department at 412.931.7055 x233 if you, too, have an interest in learning this ancient art. We have had a great response to our initial request for interest in participating in an Archery Program. We plan to start the program in September of this year. SUMMER ACOUSTIC NIGHTS This past fall and winter, a group of acoustic performers held ‘Open Mic Nights’ at the Ross Community Center in the newly‑improved Active Lounge. Please call CB at 412.931.7055 x248 if you are a budding (or seasoned) artist and would like to join the performing arts group that is emerging. We are also open to additional youth programs in the Active Lounge – some ideas are comedy night, political debate night, environmental club night, etc. Please give us your thoughts and ideas. There’s a good chance yours will top ours! Ross Township | Summer 2014 | icmags.com 53 R OSS TOWN SHI P N E WS Dance Lessons Ross Township COMMUNITY
