Staff Report <br />August 8, 1997 <br />~/lichele Bergh <br /> <br />Summer Programs <br /> *All programs have ended this week with the exception of a few camps <br /> *Evaluations that have come back so far have been overwhelmingly positive <br /> *Most successful programs I felt were T-Ball, Short Sport, Funtastic Fridays, Thursdays in the <br /> Park <br /> <br />Summer Staff <br /> *1 am very pleased with most of our summer staff - they were dependable and took the <br /> initiative when necessary and I had very few complaints from participants regarding their <br /> performance <br /> *No employees were terminated this summer and only one quit but he gave a notice so I was <br /> able to fill his hours easily <br /> <br />Improvements/Considerations for Next Summer <br /> *Need good people to work with children and public <br /> *Difficult to get them due to lack of hours available <br /> *Know some of the key staff I have had for years will not be back next year due to financial <br /> needs for college <br /> *Try lowering some of our program fees for programs like SPORT and Craft Time in the Park <br /> in hopes of drawing in more participants <br /> *Need to re-evaluate Lion's Den and how the program is run if it is to run again next year - <br /> attendance was moderate the first half of the summer but due to schedule changes those <br /> kids didn't keep coming for the rest of the summer (camps, etc.). Attendance was Iow for the <br /> last half of the summer. Tried additional marketing, but that didn't seem to pull in very many <br /> kids. <br /> <br />Fall Programs <br /> *Fall planning is completed and brochure goes to the printer today for delivery on Aug. 27 <br /> *Programs include Gymnastics - both our regular program and John Tobler's Advanced <br /> Gymnastics, Pillo Polo, Women's Volleyball League, Men's Volleyball League, Intramural <br /> Volleyball, 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament, Otsego Family Hayride, Men's Basketball League, <br /> Indoor Walking, Open Gyms, Indoor Soccer for preschoolers with Koosh products; as well as <br /> a Back to School Dance, Tots Figure Skating and Elk River Skating Club which we have <br /> helped the Arena coordinate.
