A Message from Beverly Cosham
Chair, RCC Board of Governors
Reston Community Center’s Board of Governors has long known the Terry L. Smith
Aquatics Center is not adequate to meet the needs of everyone in our community
who seeks opportunities to swim. Swimmers have varying needs that one pool isn’t
able to adequately fulfill: lessons, fitness, recreational water fun, therapeutic waterbased
programs, and competitive swimming or training. Our facility long ago ran out
of the room and time to handle the numbers of people wanting those opportunities.
In addition, we regularly turn away patrons from our fitness programs and meeting
rooms because we lack the available space to meet their needs. For these reasons,
the Board is exploring whether or not we can partner with the Fairfax County Park
Authority to add another indoor recreation facility to RCC facilities - one that would
house an indoor aquatics and fitness program at Baron Cameron Park. We are having
meetings to discuss the information needed from the community and from other
resources to be sure we pursue the course of action that would be best for Reston. We invite you to share your views and learn about the
impacts of this endeavor during the scheduled meetings. If we schedule additional meetings or information sessions after the Program Guide has
gone to press, those dates, times and locations will be updated on our website.
For anyone who is unable to attend meetings, we welcome written comments at RCCContact@fairfaxcounty.gov. We will consider all
comments received (please include your name and address) and make all of them available to the Park Authority as well.

Long Range Planning Committee Meeting and Brailsford & Dunlavey report to update Market and
Financial Feasibility Study: Q/A and public comment at the end of the meeting.
Regular Monthly Board Meeting at RCC Hunters Woods: Public comment at the beginning of the meeting.
Park Authority Public Meeting at Buzz Aldrin Elementary School.
Finance Committee Meeting at RCC Hunters Woods: Public comment at the end of the meeting.
Regular Monthly Board Meeting at RCC Hunters Woods: Public comment at the beginning of the meeting.
Annual Public Hearing for Programs and Budget at RCC Hunters Woods: Public comment at the
end of the meeting.
Please participate in this dialog and let us know your views. If the Board feels the community wants us to pursue building any new facility, the
process will still require a vote on a referendum question for Small District 5 (Reston) voters – and only Small District 5 voters – before any
facility is actually built. Thank you in advance for your involvement.
A Message from Leila Gordon
RCC Executive Director
The summer months offer all of us an opportunity to go outdoors and enjoy each
other’s company at concerts, cookouts and camps along with all the other events
and programs RCC offers. Whether you are a kid in Reston or a kid at heart, we
hope you will find an offering in the pages ahead that suits you and your idea of fun.
As you enjoy playing, we will be working on the programs for the fall season. We will
be reviewing our drop-in program pricing and making sure we continue to meet the
needs of Reston patrons while assuring that pricing, offerings and our facilities are up
to date. Sustaining the existing facilities and planning for the future means reviewing
Beverly Cosham & Leila Gordon at Best of Reston
how people are using RCC amenities and making sure that pricing serves Reston
and is also aligned with what other public facilities charge for use. We hope you will
provide your feedback to us about all RCC programs, services and facilities in the coming weeks and let us know your ideas about how we
should best plan for the future. We want to assure that Reston gets the very best value from its investment in Reston Community Center.
We look forward to hearing from you.

The RCP New Play Project reaches its exciting climax in June
with a fully staged production of a brand new play.
For those who always wonder where new plays come from -
and those who lament the lack of new plays that are not based
on a movie or collection of old songs - the New Play Project
is for you.
The Players are well-known for their presentation of the
biggest hits of Broadway and other established works. But
since 2009, they have reached out to the other end of
dramatic presentation seeking out brand new plays or musicals
with scripts that have never been published, never performed
by a professional cast, and/or that have never been presented
on a big stage. Each year the Players receive upwards of a
hundred new submissions. Each work is read by a special
committee of the Players, but only a few are offered readings.
While many theater companies help develop plays, the New
Play Project helps develop authors. Rather than giving a play
only one reading, the Players invite a select few back for a
second reading, and add more production values to the work.
Of those select plays with second readings, two are invited
back a third time for a more advanced presentation.
Finally, one play is offered the opportunity for a fully
staged production in the CenterStage at the Reston
Community Center.
The Reston Community Players is a 501(c) 3 organization
funded in part by the Arts Council of Fairfax County,
supported by the County of Fairfax.

Fairfax-Loudoun Music Fellowship offers membership to
private music teachers looking for a non-competitive, friendly,

circulates among teachers’ studios and is used for workshops

Ravel Dance Studio
www.raveldance.com
703-437-9664
Founded in 1990, the Ravel Dance Company was formed to
give young dancers an opportunity to perform original works
of dance in a variety of dance genres. The Ravel Dance School
educates young dancers from the age of 3 to 18 in ballet,
pointe and jazz. It also provides performance opportunities
through an annual “Nutcracker Ballet” and a year-end classical
ballet. A dancer may be accepted into the performing Ravel
Dance Company through an audition process.
The Ravel Dance Studio will be presenting one of five classical
ballets from its repertoire, the enchanting fairy tale ballet
Cinderella. Set to the haunting music of Sergei Prokofiev, the
ballet takes the audience on a mesmerizing journey from a
small cottage to the dancing by four fairies of the seasons and
finally a grand ballroom filled with revelers. As one of the only
ballet schools in the area to maintain several classical ballets
in its repertoire, Ravel’s performance of Cinderella will delight
audiences of all ages with its lavish sets and costumes. Don’t
miss this familiar and charming tale of a young woman who
undergoes the torment of her wicked stepmother and two
stepsisters only to discover true love through the magic of her
Fairy Godmother.
The Ravel Dance Company will also be performing an original
contemporary dance entitled School Days. The company will
take a close look at the evolution of a student from the wideeyed,
early days of elementary school to the apathetic teenage
years where dancing offers a path through the pressures of
High School. While the piece is meant to be entertaining and
a great deal of fun, one section should resonate with those
who have ever experienced the pain of isolation and loneliness
occurring for so many during these vulnerable years. The
subtle message of anti-bullying and inclusion will be felt by all.

of all levels and skills, arrange exhibitions by partnering
with community and corporate organizations, and provide
opportunities for member artists to further their skills through
critiques and workshops. LRA welcomes new members and
invites the community to its many public exhibits and artist
receptions. Visit their website to make a donation to their

DEAP
Sponsored by Reston Community Center & Reston Association
RCC & RA Working Together
for Water Safety
Reston Community Center and Reston Association are teaming up
to improve our community’s safety around its many pools. Drowning
remains the second leading cause of injury-related death among
children ages 1 to 14 according to the Centers for Disease Control.
For every child who dies from drowning, four more receive medical
treatment for submersion-related injuries. Together, RA and RCC will
be offering DEAP, a “land-based” Drowning Education Awareness
Program. This program offers three opportunities targeted for different
audiences and community civic groups to learn water safety skill:
1. Parent Orientation to Swim Lessons
2. Water Safety Presentation
3. Longfellow’s WHALE Tales
By working together, RCC and RA strive to provide our community
access to healthy and safe fun in all of Reston’s pools.
If you have questions or would like more information, please contact

The swim lessons offered by the RCC Terry L. Smith Aquatics Center are among the
most popular classes at RCC. To maximize the learning experience, please consider the
following points:
PLACEMENT
• Use the skills placement chart located in the front of each age cohort section.
• If you are still unsure of the right class, please contact the Aquatics Service Desk at
703-390-6150 for advice.
• A skills assessment test may be requested by contacting the Aquatics Service
Desk. Skill assessment testing is scheduled based on the patron’s availability and is
recommended well in advance of each season’s registration start date.
• When enrolling siblings online, we recommend you have a printed copy of the class
days and times to help you synchronize the classes (either a printed copy of the
program guide or download the PDF file from our website).
DURATION OF ENROLLMENTS
Repetition of each level’s skills is the key to graduation. The advice we offer is to stay at
the same lesson class level for the entire season.
• Anticipating graduation to occur earlier than after repeat sessions may result in an
interruption of the learning cycle.
• Students enrolled in the wrong class level will be refunded in full.

SWIM LESSON registration information and tips
The swim lessons offered by the RCC Terry L. Smith Aquatics Center are among the most
popular classes at RCC. To maximize the learning experience, please read and consider
the following points:
PLACEMENT
• Use the skills placement chart located in the front of each age cohort section.
• If you are still unsure of the right class, please contact the Aquatics Service Desk at
703-390-6150 for advice.
• A one-on-one skills assessment test may be requested by contacting the Aquatics
Service Desk. Skill assessment testing is scheduled based on the patron’s availability
and is recommended to be done well in advance of each season’s registration start
date.
• When enrolling siblings online, we recommend you have a printed copy of the
various class days and times handy to help you synchronize the classes (either a
printed copy of the program guide or download the PDF file from our website.
DURATION OF ENROLLMENTS
Repetition of each level’s skills is the main key to graduation. The advice we offer is to stay
at the same lesson class level for the entire season.
• Anticipating graduation to occur earlier than after repeat sessions may result in
an interruption of the learning cycle if the placement is not appropriate, making
repeating the level necessary for proficiency and more difficult after registration has
already opened due to demand.
• Students enrolled in the wrong class level will be refunded in full.

Pressure
Canning-
Demo
(18 years and older)
In this demo workshop,
students will observe how
to safely pressure-can foods
while learning the science
behind the method and
integral safety measures.
Pressure canning is the only
safe method for processing low-acid foods such as
vegetables, meat, poultry, and fish at home. While
high-acid foods (fruits) and acidified foods (pickled
products) can safely be processed in a boiling water
bath canner, a special device called a pressure
canner must be used for all low-acid foods. This
program is jointly produced by Reston Community
Center, Reston Association and Sustainable Reston.

Solar
Generator
Workshop
(16 years and older)
Learn the skills to build a small,

powering a freezer or fridge
during a power outage. The
instructor will discuss the
materials and tools needed
and outline the necessary

will leave class with instructions on how to build a
solar-powered generator that will cost them less
than $1000 but may last for a lifetime. Be the first
in the neighborhood to build a generator that can
keep the freezer running during the next power
outage. Warning: a rise in popularity with neighbors
will likely occur. This program is jointly produced
by Reston Community Center, Reston Association
and Sustainable Reston. Registration is required and

Canning
(18 years and older)
In this hands-on class,
participants will have the
opportunity to can fruits and
other high-acid foods using a
water bath canner, a process

General
Reston Community Center enriches lives
and builds community for all of Reston.
Mission
To create positive leisure, cultural and educational experiences which enhance the quality of life for all people living and working in
Reston by:
• Providing a broad range of programs in arts, aquatics, recreation, enrichment and life-long learning.
• Creating and sustaining community traditions through special events, outreach activities, and facility rentals,
• Building community through collaboration and celebration.
Governance
RCC is governed by a nine-member Board that is appointed by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors after the residents and
businesses of Small District 5 express their preferences in an annual poll. The Board of Governors is responsible for establishing
agency policy, representing the Community Center before the public, soliciting input concerning program balance, conducting public
hearings, and providing fiscal oversight of RCC and its programs.
Funding
RCC is a Fairfax County agency funded by the tax revenues of Small District 5. The current tax rate is $0.047 per $100 of assessed
property value of all residential and commercial property in the district. These tax revenues fund the operation of the Reston
Community Center for district residents and employees at greatly subsidized rates.
Code of Conduct
For your protection and comfort, the Reston Community Center offers this Code of Conduct to show our commitment to
providing a safe and welcoming environment for all of our patrons and staff. To ensure the safety and comfort of all, we ask
individuals to act appropriately, behave in a mature and responsible way and to respect the rights and dignity of others.
Our Code of Conduct does not permit language or actions that can hurt or frighten another person
or that falls below generally accepted standards of conduct. Specifically this includes:
• Angry or vulgar language including swearing, name calling and shouting.
• Physical contact with another person in any angry or threatening way.
• Displaying an object or weapon that can be considered harmful or threatening.
• Any demonstration of sexual activity or sexual contact with another person.
• Behavior deemed lewd or lascivious.
• Harassment or intimidation with words, gestures, body language or other menacing behavior.
• Behavior which intends or results in theft or destruction of property.
• Leaving a child under eight (8) years of age unattended. A child is considered unattended if they are without adult
supervision and wandering around the building.
• Intrusion upon an event to which one is not an invited or registered participant.
• Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Patrons are responsible for their own personal comfort and safety and should ask any person whose behavior threatens their
personal comfort to refrain. Staff are expected to respond to any reported violation of our Code of Conduct. Dismissal from a
program or facility may result from any violation of the Code of Conduct. No refunds will be given.
Fee Waiver Program
Reston Community Center provides fee waivers to help eligible residents and employees of Small District 5 participate in RCC
programs. This program provides financial assistance to low-income families receiving public assistance or meeting our income
requirements. Completed forms are confidential and will be kept on file for one year. If your household is eligible, a fee waiver
account for each family member will be created, and may be used for any combination of RCC programs, classes or trips during
the 12–month period of May 1, 2012-April 30, 2013.

our greatest assets. Everyone is encouraged to dress in attire
from their own cultural roots and share the stories that we
gather on the pathways of our lives.
The Reston Multicultural Festival is hosted by the Lake Anne Plaza and co-sponsored by the Reston Association,
with partners from a variety of Reston-based organizations and businesses.
