SEWING & FASHION DESIGN

PETITE DESIGNERS SEWING & FASHION SCHOOL Petite Designers Sewing & Fashion School is welcoming all kids 7+ to its studios for unforgettable Camps! With lots of exciting sewing projects for girls and boys, this camp is an excellent place for kids to learn a valuable, lifelong skill while spending a great time with their sewing friends. There is no limit to our campers’ creativity, and they love to show their unique designs when draping on mannequins. For those kids who like to work with paper and pencil, sketching is always a good way to plunge into the world of fashion design. This sewing camp is perfect for beginners and kids with sewing background. Our talented, dedicated instructors work with students and campers with different levels of experience. Space is limited, sign up today! Visit PetiteDesigners.com or call us at (954) 465-0402 to get more information.

SPECIAL POPULATION PROGRAMS

CHALLENGER LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL Challenger Baseball started in Broward County in 1990. The Challenger program is open to children with any disability. Thanks to the help of coaches, assistant coaches and “buddies”, all our players get to hit, field and get around the bases. Challenger is a non-competitive environment with the goal of all our players getting a chance to be part of a team sport and having a great time. Thanks to private sponsors our program is no cost to the families involved. We provide uniforms, equipment, pictures, trophies, a day at a Marlins game, a weekend in Ft Myers playing other Challenger teams, a year end picnic for all the families and more. Again, all these activities are provided at no charge. Although our target age group is 5–22 years old, many of our players are older as they have been in our program since the early years. Therefore, we now have a junior division from 5/12 years old and a senior division of 13+. Our games are Sunday afternoons at 3:30pm – 5:15pm from March- May. We play at fields throughout Broward County, so our players have home and away games. We presently play at fields in Coral Springs, Margate, Tamarac, Sunrise, Weston and Pembroke Pines. New players are always welcome. Challenger is also always looking for new sponsors and people interested in helping to run our program. Challenger is an all-volunteer organization and 100% of donated money goes directly to the program. REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! Contact Randy Hibshman (954) 345-9329, rhibshman@bellsouth.net. PARKLAND BUDDY SPORTS This program was created to eliminate the cultural, social and emotional barriers that children and young adults with special needs face when participating in recreational activities. Through shared partnership, both players and volunteers (“Buddies”) learn patience, tolerance and the ability of one person to change the life of another. Players and volunteers simultaneously enjoy participating in a program where there are “No Limits.” (954) 445-0502. info@parklandbuddysports.com. www.parklandbuddysports.com. • FOOTBALL: September through November Games: Saturday 3:30pm – 4:30pm.
