MATTESON AVENUE LEISURE GUIDE | SUMMER 20192

I would like to extend best wishes to every resident of Matteson. My sincere belief is that the life and breath of the Village is in its neighborhoods. With that said, what a great day we had on Saturday morning, May 4th, as the community came together in partnership with Comcast and Sickle-Schmickle NFP to beautify our community. Almost two hundred people came out to participate in Comcast Cares Community Clean-Up Day, removing old mulch and weeds from fl ower beds, planting perennials, and adding new mulch at our parks and surrounding areas. Many others picked up trash and painted curbs, picnic tables and park benches. What a great sense of pride seeing so many of our youth helping to make a cleaner and better community. � ank you to the many volunteers for a job well done!

We are in the process of starting our Summer Youth Program, employing Matteson High School and College students. � is program develops life skills as students garner valuable work experience. Village staff plans to complete the hiring process by early June.

Please Save the date of July 6, 2019 for Matteson Summer Concert and Festival, a time to bring out the lawn chairs and picnic baskets for a fun day of music, food and summer fun meeting up with our neighbors. For additional updates on events, tune in to Eye on Matteson. Our Senior Luncheon will also take place again this year on Wednesday, August 21st. Stay tuned for additional updates on this event as well.

We are extremely excited to welcome Alexi Senior living, a 32-million-dollar development which will have 50 assisted living rooms, 20 memory care units and 52 Independent living units, features will include a spa, beauty salon, theater, chapel, library and bistro. � e facility will be built in two phases. � e second phase, which will contain independent living apartments with underground parking, will start this year. � e property borders the Ridgeland Manor subdivision with access off Ridgeland Avenue. Work in the old Dominick’s to bring about the new Pete’s grocery store is ongoing, and the project is moving forward. Ribbon cuttings took place last month for two new business in Matteson - Totally Posh Party Boutique and Chicagoland Fat Loss Camp are open and we are excited to partner with both.

On May 1, 2019, Village Administrator Anthony Burton and I attended Lobby Day in Springfi eld. We teamed up with several other Mayors and Managers to talk with Legislators and encourage our elected offi cials to focus on the needs of the Southland Region. Recognizing that collaboration and synergy benefi ts the public and improves effi ciency, we met regularly with government partners, State Representatives and Senators to discuss critical legislation on issues aff ecting the Southland Region. Conversations resulted in partnerships on a multitude of initiatives that will benefi t our daily life.

In 2018/19, we achieved many milestones. In addition to enhancing our overall quality of life, we focused on maintaining the Village’s ongoing fi scal sustainability by achieving a balanced budget. � e board and staff worked tirelessly to bring about a balanced budget, and I am proud to say that we approved a balanced operating budget again this year. We’ve achieved fi scal stability despite very real challenges. � ere is more work to be done, but it is our job to keep our fi nger on the pulse of our community. I invite you to work with us and thank you for being our partners and our neighbors.

Best Wishes,Sheila Chalmers-Currin

If you have any questions or comments regarding this concept, please feel free to contact us at 441-4500.

Volunteers NeededThe Matteson Recreational Services Department utilizes volunteers for a variety of programs. Our youth baseball and basketball leagues have long benefited from those willing to volunteer their time as coaches.

Special Abilities & Adaptive Learn to Swim Lessons (3 years +)CELTS adapted swimming program is year-round and designed for swimmers of all ability levels. This program incorporates CELTS My First Swim, CELTS Swim School, and CELTS Stroke School. Preschool-age to seniors, with developmental and physical disabilities, are taught water safety, learn-to-swim skills, and independence in the water. Through the CELTS adapted swimming program, lessons are structured to provide visual, auditory, and sensory stimulation based on the individual’s needs. Part of the CELTS mission is to provide healthy lifestyles and opportunities for all community members.

CELTS goal beginning to end, Adapted and Special Abilities swim lessons boost a person’s swimming skill and confidence in the water. The ultimate goal is to create lifelong swimmers who not only are water-safe but love the water. Often, children with disabilities-specifically autism – may be more prone to wander and/or be drawn to water. Safety is paramount to prevent water emergencies and drownings in this population. Water has tremendous normalization qualities, and by being offered age-appropriate swim lesson opportunities, individuals with disabilities are the same as their peers in water-splashing, floating, and having fun.
