Greetings!!!
Buy
a new membership or renew your current membership now and save
money! If you purchase or renew a Kids America membership before
January 1st, you can "lock-in" our current rate until you need to renew
for another year. Even if your membership does not expire until
next year, you can renew now and keep the same rate until 2011.
Our rates will increase on January 1, 2010 on new or renewal
memberships for the first time since Kid's America started in
2001. We regret this necessary increase, but we know it is the
only way to increase revenue to offset the increasing costs of
operation.
Also, if you renew in December you can choose
from two great gift ideas- either a 20 visit walking pass or a Kids
America t-shirt. To receive this gift all you have to do is renew
your yearly membership during the month of December and tell us which
gift you would like to receive. The walking pass is a great way
to bring a friend to walk with you and the t-shirt makes a great gift
for the Kids America enthusiast in your family.
A membership
to Kids America is a great way to have a "backyard" to play with your
children or workout during the winter season. Our three indoor
basketball courts, indoor track, and indoor soccer fields are all
available for members to use, or come in for a daily visit for just
$5.
Thanks for your continued support of Kids America and the Coshocton Community!!!

Membership Gift Offer!!!
Sign
up or renew your membership by December 31st and you will receive your
choice of either a Kids America T-shirt or a 20 visit walking
pass. This offer is available to any member, not just those whose
memberships are coming due. If you renew now you can add a year
to the end of your membership contract and not only get the gifts this
December, but you will also "lock in" our current rates for the next
