 It may keep snowing, but summer planning has indeed started! The Beacon Recreation Department has just launched their online registration ability to sign up for the After School Program (childcare for elementary school students in Beacon's public school system), Camp at the Camp, and the Beacon Pool. Find out why this is a big deal. And did you know that Pool Memberships are already on sale? This year, you can buy them online.
PS: Registration for Beacon's Camp at the Camp opens on Monday, March 11, 2019, and other camps have already started. Readers are using A Little Beacon Blog's Summer Camp Guide right now to make their list of camps. Advertising opportunities on our Weekly Camp Planner and Guide are available, so contact us to get started to help your camp stand out with your logo, pictures and featured dates.
And now, onto the Things To Do!

It's Responsible Pet Owners Month!
Insuring the health and wellness of your furry friend is important. When it comes to insurance, we often think of our own health, life, home or auto insurance policies. We take extra care to make sure our beloved family members and most valued possessions are covered in the event of an illness, accident or loss. But what about our pets? Pet insurance pays for veterinary treatment of your ill or injured pet. Some policies may pay out if your pet gets into trouble.
