Baldwin Center Programs and Activities

Many of our fitness classes, art programs and special events have become very popular!... so popular that at times they reach capacity. This results in members being placed on a wait list, thus only to be able to participate if there is a cancellation. Therefore, starting July 3rd, in an effort to ensure classes, programs and events fairly accessible to as many members as possible, if you arrive 10 or more minutes later your reserved spot will be given to another member who is present on that day. Also, while we understand at times there are unavoidable circumstances and surprises that arise, we ask that when members are registering for classes, programs and/or events that you do so with every intention of attending. If for some reason it turns out you are unable to attend, please call The Baldwin Center to let us know, or withdraw on MyActiveCenter.com. This will allow us to contact those on the wait list so they may take the open spot.
We appreciate your consideration for your fellow Baldwin Center Members!
