Beginning Saturday,

Peachtree City residents will be able to point and click their way to

registering for classes and activities from their home computer.

This new service,

offered through the department's Web site, will allow patrons to view

class and activity offerings, register for particular events and pay online

... all without a trip to the recreation department.

Customers wishing

to register in person will still be allowed to do so, and they will now

be allowed to use American Express, Discover, VISA and MasterCard in addition

to the traditional check or cash payments.

The online

registration system also comes with a major change to the registration

process for classes and activities. All classes will have the same registration

date for a given month.

Peachtree City

residents will be able to register starting on the 15th of each month

through the class start date. Patrons who live outside the city will be

able to register on the 20th.

"This

will save people a great deal of time," said Susan Taylor of the

recreation department. "Before, a parent with three children in different

classes might have to come in three different times of the month to register.

Now they can do it once, and from home on their computer if they want."

For more information

about these new services, see the Recreation Activities catalog available

at city facilities and local grocery stores, or call the recreation department
