We are <br /> still taking registrations for the cheerleading clinic on February 12. <br /> Spring Quarter <br /> The spring brochure was delivered on February 2 with the Wednesday paper. Our <br /> registration has begun. Phones are very busy. We have gymnastics, pee wee soccer, pee <br /> wee sports sampler, indoor soccer at the arena, 2 dances at the arena, youth volleyball, <br /> youth baseball clinic, Easter egg hunts and basket classes, open gyms, 3 on 3 basketball <br /> tournament over spring break, intramural 3 on 3 basketball, and Skating Academy. <br /> Summer Quarter <br /> We are in the beginning stages of planning summer. The entertainment in the park <br /> schedule is almost complete and the t ball schedule is complete. We are also planning <br /> the 3rd annual Safety Camp. This summer will offer many returning popular programs as <br /> well as a few new ones we hope will also be popular. <br /> • Adopt-a-Park program <br /> I am interested in offering a program this summer that would involve students <br /> volunteering their time to do some landscaping and maybe building and/or painting park <br /> benches or picnic tables for some of the city parks that don't have anything in them now. <br /> I have a friend who is taking a Master Gardener class and she is possibly interested in <br /> working with this program. The Master Gardener class students must complete 50 hours <br /> of volunteer work and she thought that there might be other students who need to do their <br /> volunteer hours and would like to do them through a project like this. I will continue to <br /> work on this with Michele McPherson and the park commission if this is a program the <br /> commission supports. <br /> Emporium <br /> We continue to be very busy with the concerts. This is the big draw almost every <br /> weekend. We have one weekend open a month—all other Fridays are booked through <br /> April. The students really enjoy these concerts and the bands really appreciate having a <br /> place to play. We are also going to try dart leagues this spring. <br />
