There’s history in these walls!
In 1997, the Eagan Arts and Humanities Council and the City of
Eagan partnered to provide the community’s first art center,
called the Eagan Art House, at 3981 Lexington Avenue. The 1950’s
rambler, previously owned by the McCarthy family, provided
space for art classes and small arts gatherings. The house soon
became home to Dakota Center for the Arts, a local non-profit
looking for space for their already robust visual arts program.
Dakota Center for the Arts and the Eagan Arts and Humanities
Council merged their organizations in 1999, and continued as
Dakota Center for the Arts. That same year, the garage of the
house was converted into a full pottery studio. In January 2007,
operations were turned over to the City of Eagan Parks and
Recreation Department. Dakota Center for the Arts remained
active to fully operate the Eagan Art Festival, now in its 23rd year.
The pottery studio was expanded in 2011 to accommodate greater
access and room for additional equipment. Today, the Eagan Art
House reaches over 5,000 people annually through classes, special
events, exhibits and outreach.
2017 will be filled with exciting celebration activities including:
Join this creative group of local artists
to share experiences, resources and
opportunities. The group meets
monthly.
• Professional Development
• Exhibit Opportunities
• Encouraging Critique
• Time to make art

Eagan Skate School Registration Information

School Coordinator at (651) 675-5453. If you are new to the program, place your skater in a lower level than you think, as each
skater is evaluated the first day of lessons.

Delta Skaters who have passed Gamma level or have mastered the skill of forward outside three turns on each foot and the 7 step mohawk combination.
Freestyle Full ice is used for this class. Skaters are grouped according to their ISI Freestyle level. Each ISI Freestyle level has required elements that must be mastered and then skated to music.
Adult
Adult classes are divided according to
ability and needs.
Adult & Child Pair
Ages 3-7Designed for the adult and the beginner child to learn to skate. This class will focus on the skating basics for the child. Adult must have some skating experience.
Hockey Skills Helmet, shin pads and elbow pads are mandatory. Full hockey gear is suggested. Sticks and pucks are not used. The focus is on skating skills, speed and edge control. Skaters must have passed Beginner Level 3 to be eligible for this class.
Participants MUST be able to skate on their own and have knowledge of gliding and stopping. • Hockey Skills 1 & 2: Skaters must have passed Beginner Level 3.• Hockey Skills 3 & 4: Skaters must have passed Alpha or Hockey Skills Level 2. • Hockey Skills 5: Skaters must have passed Beta or Hockey Skills Level 4.
Intro to Privates
Ages 3+ Lessons include a 15 minute private lesson and practice time without a coach. This class is designed for a skater who is trying to get an extra push to pass a level or master a skill.
Family DiscountThe first two family members living at the same address pay full price; each additional family member living at the same address pays half price. The discount applies to only one class fee if the additional family member is taking multiple classes.
Refunds, Cancellations and
Make-up PolicyNo refunds are issued after classes begin. There are no make-up lessons.
Figure Skates
Proper equipment is the first step
towards a positive skating experience.
Skates should be leather and properly fit.
Properly lace skates from the toe area to
the top of the ankle.
Hockey Skates
Please no hockey skates for those enrolled
in Beginner 5 and under. The motor skills
of youngsters age 5 and under are not
developed enough to reach “Maximum
Rate of Learning” in hockey skates. Notice
that a hockey blade is “rocked” (like a
rocking chair). If the skater does not have
complete balance, (which most 3-5 year
olds do not) they will rock forward or
backward and fall down frequently. Often
times this causes discouragement, and it
is more likely that they may quit because
of equipment making the learning process
more difficult.
Skating Attire
We strongly suggest
snowpants, helmets and gloves/
mittens; especially for skaters ages 6
& under.
During the Lesson
• Everyone on the ice must be
in skates; no shoes or boots are
permitted.
• Lesson participants should be the
only ones on the ice.
• Parents/family/friends are not
allowed in the hockey box area
during classes.
• If you have any questions/concerns
for your child’s instructor, please
call (651) 675-5589 and leave a
message with the Civic Arena staff.
Recommendations for Beginning Skaters
Quality skates are available to rent at
the arena for $2/pair.

Welcome to Preschool
The City of Eagan Parks & Recreation
Department welcomes you and your
preschooler to a wide selection of
quality preschool programs. Eagan
Parks & Recreation preschool
program’s focus is on the social
development of children ages two
through five years old. Participants
will benefit by developing their
social skills through play, art, projects,
stories, songs, games, and outside play. Participants will also have the opportunity
to develop their independence, self-help and sharing skills and learn to follow
directions.
Eagan Parks & Recreation uses the following guide lines to define who is a
preschooler for participation in our programs:
• Children who are the appropriate age on or before the first day of class.
• Children who are completely toilet trained and independent in the bathroom.
• Children are required to wear underwear; pull-up type diapers are not allowed.
• Toilet training is not required for children registered in parent/child classes.
• Bright Beginnings and Let’s Play! Music Together classes are for children who
are the age stated in the class and accompanied by an adult. Additional siblings
are welcome, when age appropriate and additional fees paid as listed in the
program.
• Just for 5’s (and some 4’s, too!) class is for children who are the appropriate age
to enter kindergarten in the Fall of 2017.
Please note:
Due to the popularity of our
preschool program, classes tend
to fill up quickly. Wait lists will
be maintained in a manner that
accommodates participants new to
the program.
Participants enrolled in more than
one preschool class per session may
experience programming duplication
between classes.

‘Board’er Line by Jean Shanley, Board Member
As we journey further into the year, I look back at all of the activities for the 55 plus/seniors that I
participated in at Lone Oak Room of the Eagan Community Center. There were book clubs, quilting, nimble
fingers, Wednesday discussion groups, card games, potlucks, bingo and movie matinees to name a few.
I attended a dinner theater, ice cream social, Senior Expo . . . and the list goes on. There were many fun
festivities and I made a lot of friends.
I know that this year as well will be filled with new programs and some great changes. As you can see, this
issue of the News From the Front Porch is now part of the Eagan Parks & Recreation Events & Activities
Catalog that goes out to over 28,000 residents of Eagan. For you new readers, this publication was only
mailed to 55 plus/Senior members of the Eagan Seniors. Welcome new readers!
One of the new offerings that started in January was: Food for your Brain, a class to help with brain fitness.
Part 2 of this class will be starting this month. Exciting upcoming trips are to the Federal Reserve Bank
and Psycho Suze’s for lunch, FlyOver America at the Mall of America and the annual Dinner Theater Event,
“Elvis has Left the House”. If you have a suggestion for a future fun activities write it down and put it in the
suggestion box that is located in the Lone Oak Room.
I find that the Lone Oak Room is the place to be if you’re 55 years or older. It is a hub of fun activities
- bingo, health and wellness classes, Netflix choice programs, card games, book clubs, needlework groups -
to name a few of the varieties of daily activities offered. Please consult the Front Porch to get details about
all of the activities, classes and programs offered at other locations throughout the City of Eagan as well.
There are also many ways to get involved - as a regular volunteer, as a room host or just a one time
commitment for a special event. Volunteers are always needed.
I hope you find this publication with its many programs, events and activities rich with options to enhance
your quality of life and facilitate many new friendships.
Eagan Senior Board (ESB) Update
The ESB is a nine member board that partners with the City of Eagan Parks and Recreation to assist
in the development, coordination and sponsorship of programs, events, activities that benefit 55
plus/Seniors. Find out what the scoop is at the Board level by attending as a visitor or by letting

agenda item. Meetings are held at the Eagan Community Center, Lone Oak Room. Board meets

“Snippets” - Wild Turkeys
It’s hard to believe that forty years ago wild turkeys were rarely
seen in this area. Now they’ve become common and, in some cases,
quite bothersome. These large birds roam as they wish during the
day and roost very high in trees each evening.
They grow to as much as twenty-five pounds. This is likely because
they eat anything they can catch. We know they eat berries, grains,
ferns, and what they steal from nearby bird feeders. But they will
also eat insects, frogs, and even snakes.
People joke about shooting one for their Thanksgiving or Christmas
feast. Of course, city ordinances prohibit hunting within city limits.
It would probably not be such a good idea to eat one of these
creatures anyway, considering their diets.
What is the Eagan Senior Board and 55 plus/Seniors Membership?
For all of you new readers of this publication, this article is an
explanation of the 55 plus/Senior membership and The Eagan Senior
Board. The Eagan 55 plus/Seniors is a separate organization that works
in partnership with the City of Eagan and community stakeholders. It
is overseen by the Eagan Senior Board (ESB) which is a 9 member
board that provides programming and communication for 55 plus/
Seniors as well as promotes recreational, social, educational and
service opportunities.
With specific objectives to:
• Promote the interests of the 55+ population of Eagan and
adapt to and their changing needs.
• Maintain fiduciary responsibility over the collection, maintenance, and allocation of funds used for
the purpose of fostering ESB activities.
• Maintain partnership with the City of Eagan.
The ESB collects $10 per year for their membership which entitles members to participate in daily activities in
the Lone Oak Room of the Eagan Community Center such as cards, games, clubs; be on the Eagan Senior Board
and participate in the member only events such as the Pizza Party, Volunteer Gala and Holiday Luncheon.
Membership is voluntary and 100% of the membership dollars goes to sustain the daily programs and offset
costs of events. An example of daily programs costs; yearly Lone Oak Room supplies of coffee, tea, cups etc.
is around $1,800 per year.
A City of Eagan Recreation Supervisor is the liaison to the ESB and works in partnership to create, promote
and implement programs for 55+Seniors within the Lone Oak Room and in the City of Eagan. You do not have
to be a member of the Eagan 55 plus/Seniors to register for many of the classes, events and programs offered
to older adults.
The calendars in this brochure have a symbol after the listing that indicates if you need to be a member to
attend a specific activity. For example, Mahjong, Bingo, Book Clubs all have a symbol that indicates you must
be a member to attend that activity. Those activities are supported and maintained by the ESB. If you need
additional information, please contact Loudi Rivamonte, Recreation Supervisor at lrivamonte@cityofeagan.com
or (651) 675-5515.

Presented by Eagan Theater Company in partnership with the Eagan Seniors
It’s December 20, 1970, and Elvis Presley has disappeared. No one, not even his manager, “The Colonel”, knows of his whereabouts. But the Colonel is all shook up because he has racked up a secret debt - and the King himself is missing. The only way to pay it off is to find an Elvis impersonator within 24 hours. Hijinks ensue as the Colonel takes desperate measures to replace a man who is irreplaceable all while keeping the prying eyes of a nosy reporter at bay and figuring out what happened to the real Elvis. Ticket includes dinner and performance.

Restorative Yoga for Seniors

Reclaim your vitality through restorative yoga. A lack of good quality rest can leave one feeling dull and weary. This class helps to address the stiffness, joint pain, and insomnia that people often face as we age. Featuring resting poses supported by props that allow for full and effective relaxation, the result is reduced tension and renewed energy in both body and mind as well as recovering from injury or illness. Participants must have the ability to get down to and up from the floor. All props for the class are provided.

be on the Eagan Senior Board, and participate in any member-only activities like the Members Only Ice Cream Social, Pizza
