REGISTRATION OPENS:
July 26th for Residents
August 9th for Non-Residents
HOW TO REGISTER FOR PROGRAMS:
Preregistration is required for most programs offered by Apex Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources. The first two weeks of each
registration period is limited to Apex residents only. A resident is defined as an individual who resides within the established corporate
limits of the Town as defined by the Apex Planning & Community Development Department. Waiting lists are available for most
programs, with Apex residents receiving priority.
1. Online at PEAKconnect- www.apexnc.org/peakconnect
2. In person at the John M. Brown Community Center or Halle Cultural Arts Center
3. By mail to P.O. Box 250 Apex, NC 27502. Please make checks payable to: Town of Apex.
To avoid long lines and discourage overnight assembly, the first day of registration for both residents and non-residents will be administered
by a lottery system starting promptly at 8:45am at the Community Center. Those in line will be given the opportunity to randomly draw
a number and line up according to their number. Anyone arriving after 8:45am will go to the back of the line. Registration will begin
promptly at 9am based on this system. This is for instructional programs, camps and individual youth athletic registration only and does
not apply to adult team registration deadlines. One person may register only one family at a time.
REFUND POLICY:
Full Refunds-Registration fees are 100% refundable when programs and events are canceled or adjusted by the Apex Parks, Recreation,

2. Withdrawal less than 10 calendar days in advance. A participant requesting a refund in writing, less than 10 calendar days prior to
the scheduled start date of the program, will receive a 75% refund of the fees only if the participant can be replaced from the waiting
list. If there is not a waiting list for the program or athletic league then no refund will be issued.
3. Withdrawal after first meeting of a program/first regular season game. A participant requesting to withdraw, on the day of or after
the first meeting of any program, or the first regular season game of the affected league, will not be issued a refund.
4. Transfer Request. A participant requesting to transfer from one class date to another, within the same program and registration
period, must do so in writing at least 10 calendar days or more prior to the scheduled start date of the program.
5. Adult Team Withdrawals. Refunds for adult athletic programs requiring “team” registration will be issued based on policies and
procedures covering that particular program and are not subject to #s 1, 2, 3, and 4 above.
6. Youth Sports League Withdrawals. If there is a tryout for the athletic league, a full refund minus a $5.00 processing fee will be
issued if a written request to withdraw is made prior to the tryout day for the league. If the written request is made after the tryout for
the athletic league, a 75% refund will be issued only if the participant can be replaced from the waiting list.
7. Ticketed Events. All ticket sales are final. Refunds and withdrawals are not permitted.
8. No refunds will be issued when the amount is less than $6.00.

a written excuse from a licensed medical doctor indicating that the participant should not participate due to medical concerns or
physical limitations.
2. Prior to the first meeting of a program or the first game of the regular season the participant requests a refund in writing including
written verification that the participant has been included in either a Middle School, High School, or College program that prohibits

VISUAL ARTS EXHIBITS
Heike Lindner & Brook Ramsey
September 11 - November 22, 2021 • Reception: Fri, Nov 19, 6pm-8pm
Shortly before my 50th birthday, I challenged myself to draw one portrait a day. My
goal was to see where I would be in a year or two. First, I drew everybody in my family,
then I started drawing people of interest. Some of my early drawings turned out well,
some were works in progress. Still, I was passionate to continue my artistic journey.
Watercolors, my first medium, offered unpredictability and experimentation with
layers and layers. I love the lightness and tones of them. Painting with coffee, my next
venture, offered a monochromatic beauty that also intrigues me. Recently I started
working with acrylics. Colors are bolder, more vibrant. Whether I work in acrylics or
watercolors, I always focus on portraits.
