Staff Report <br /> Michele Bergh <br /> November 2000 <br /> Fall/Winter Programming <br /> The new program brochure was delivered November 1. This was a week later than originally scheduled. <br /> We are excited about the opportunities scheduled, however, due to the late arrival some of our numbers <br /> are lower than anticipated. We believe that the programs occurring later in this brochure will have good <br /> registration numbers. <br /> Winter/Spring Programming <br /> We are beginning to plan the next brochure, which will be delivered January 3rd. We are looking into a <br /> couple of new program ideas that we are really excited about and hope we will be able to find <br /> instructors. <br /> Adult.Leagues <br /> Volleyball leagues are all up and running. Things are going smoothly so far with one exception—we are <br /> having a difficult time getting information to the school sites. We rely on building supervisors to bring <br /> score sheets and standings to the site each week and then they return the sheet to Community Education <br /> at the end of the night for us. For some reason this isn't always happening. We are continuing to work <br /> with Community Education on this and I'm hopeful that we'll be able to come up with a system that will <br /> be easier. Men's basketball begins in early December. We are working on the organization of this <br /> IP league now. <br /> MRPA Conference <br /> RaeAnn, Darci and I all attended two days of the MRPA Conference in St. Cloud. We all found the <br /> sessions we attended to be insightful and inspiring. The sessions we attended are <br /> If You're Too Busy to Laugh, You're Too Busy! <br /> Games &Icebreakers—Making Meetings Fun <br /> Managing Yourself Rather Than Time <br /> Solutions for Working with Difficult Children <br /> Go Fish <br /> Wired Teenager <br /> The Physical Inactivity Epidemic <br /> Trends Coming Your Way <br /> Recreation: Past, Present and Future <br /> Open Gyms <br /> We are currently staffing the open gyms for the season. We have very few returning staff members and <br /> one new one. I believe we have enough staff people to cover all the shifts but it will be a tight season <br /> for subs, etc. <br /> Warming Houses <br /> We will be looking at this over the next few weeks. I have some safety concerns regarding this job, both <br /> • for our participants as well as for our staff and will be looking at ways to address my concerns. The <br /> warming houses we currently staff are Otsego City Hall,Lions Park, Handke Pit, Lake Orono and Gary <br /> Street/Orono Road. These are all in pretty secluded areas, with the exception of Lions Park. The Lions <br /> Park facility has no windows and doors that can be locked from the inside without having a key. I have <br />
