Michele Bergh <br /> Staff Report <br /> November 1999 <br /> Move <br /> The area is almost complete and although we don't have a firm date yet, we have been told that we <br /> should be able to operate from our new offices by Thanksgiving. The phone is working over there and <br /> has a message for people to still call our 241-3523 phone number is on the voice mail. <br /> Hotline <br /> The hotline is being used every day and this is very encouraging. The system that is set up lets us know <br /> how many times it's called and when. We currently have open gym information and some other general <br /> information on there. <br /> Website <br /> Again, I'd like to encourage you to take a look at our web site. We are trying to get the word out about <br /> it and I just added a counter so we'll be able to tell how many times it's being visited. <br /> Winter 2000 Programs <br /> We have enclosed a brochure for you in case you haven't seen them yet. We are very excited about the <br /> programs we have offered this quarter and registration is looking good. <br /> New Employee <br /> • Dan Fields has been hired as our new Programming Assistant. We are very happy to have him on board. <br /> We believe that he'll make a wonderful addition to our staff and look forward to being able to market <br /> our programs and our organization better because of his talents. <br /> Emporium <br /> Emporium continues to be successful with the concerts on the weekends. We have many bands wanting <br /> to play and the attendance is good. The students are very supportive of our offices being located there. <br /> Theylike the set up of the new space. We had our Violence Prevention program on November 4 and, <br /> while we had a small group in attendance, I think it was a success. The girls were all asking when we'd <br /> be doing it again and they want their friends to attend and they want to attend again. We had a speaker <br /> from Central MN Sexual Assault Center who lead a small group discussion about relationships, abuse, <br /> what to do if you become a victim, etc. Wayne from Professional Karate did an hour's worth of self- <br /> defense techniques and taught the girls a variety of ways to defend themselves. Then we did more <br /> discussion on relationships and discussed a variety of scenarios. The girls all received a bag of goodies <br /> and information for them to take home. <br /> 410 <br />
