This is an opportunity for parents to have one night to themselves before the kids are out for the Winter Break. Use this time to catch a movie, finish some last minute shopping or go out for dinner. This is our gift to you: for $8 you can drop your kids off at Decatur Recreation Center and athletic staff will supervise them as they play basketball and other fun games. Pizza and punch will be provided.

From Arborist Neil Norton:
Please join us for this Saturday, December 7, from 9 am to 12 pm for our second volunteer day of the year at the Glenn Creek Nature Preserve. Pizza will be served to all volunteers at 12 pm.
Please remember to bring water, wear long sleeves and pants. We have extra gloves, but at our last volunteer day found the rubber or leather gloves work better than the cloth ones we provide. We will continue to remove invasive species, reinforce the trails, and mulch. 3 Service hours available to all students!

This is Crossing Guard Appreciation Week and the City of Decatur showed our 38 crossing guards some love!
The City held a breakfast for them this morning where they were recognized with certificates and a gift. Several schools also honored their crossing guards this morning with flowers and cards.
Next time you have a crossing guard to help you cross the street be sure to tell them how much you appreciate them! They are out early in the morning in all kinds of weather, then return mid afternoon and keep a smile on their face as they help children travel to and from school safely.
For more photos of all of our crossing guards, visit facebook.com/decaturaactiveliving.

Join Decatur Active Living and Lime for a FREE scooter class this Saturday, November 16, 12 pm at Legacy Park.
Lime staff will be on hand to share important information about safe scooting, complying with the rules of riding in Decatur, and best of all, Lime will be giving away free test rides!
Meet at Legacy Park (formerly known as United Methodist Children’s Home) located at 500 S Columbia Dr, Decatur, GA 30030. There will be about 15 minutes of review and about 15 minutes of free ride time so you can get familiar with riding a scooter in a safe space.
You must RSVP here so Lime can ensure the right number of scooters for maximum riding time. Helmets will be provided and are yours to keep.
In order to test ride a scooter, please remember the following:
(1) All riders must be over the age of 18
(2) Wear comfortable clothing and shoes (tennis shoes, flats, etc.)
(3) Download the Lime app from iTunes or Google Play and set up your account beforehand to minimize wait time
***In case of rain the reschedule date will be SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23 at 12 pm***

Happy Healthy Monday from our friends at the Monday Campaigns!
There’s nothing like a little friendly competition to bring the family closer. So why not turn your plain-old, ordinary exercises into a family fitness challenge.
Experts recommend individuals spend at least 150 minutes per week exercising or being active, so we’ve compiled a list of exercises that can easily be converted into fitness challenges for you and the whole family to do together. Completing one or two of these challenges a week will help you satisfy that weekly workout requirement. Group challenges inevitably motivate you to push yourself a harder, and they can even help you squeeze out an extra rep (or two or three).
The cherry on top is that these fitness challenges don’t require any hardcore workout equipment; all you need is maybe a few chairs, some floor space, and a few willing participants.
