Outdoor Summer Movie Series
Be our guest for a family movie experience. Enjoy quality family time in front of a video display similar to the American Family Field’s scoreboard (just on a smaller scale) in the park. The movies will start promptly at 7pm (the sun is not an issue for the display). Arrive early to save your spots and enjoy some play time with Operation Recreation. Due to copyright laws, we are unable to print the movie titles, but we are happy to tell you the movie titles over the phone a week prior to the movie date. Call our office at 414-604-4900 for movie titles. Feel free to bring blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy the evening under the stars with your family.
This event is FREE! Movie begins at 7pm. Operation Recreation begins at 6pm.

All classes will be similar, yet different, giving you time to explore and build your own practice. Flow through a playful mix of sun salutations and other poses designed to make you feel good! No payment is necessary. Please consider a donation of money or items to the 30 different causes. 100% of proceeds will be given to local organizations in West Allis (check the calendar for specifics). Pre-registration isn’t necessary, just show up with your mat, water and donation.
