Lincoln Elementary school carnivals. This is a first for us but they were happy for the help <br />and thought it was a great way to promote our programs. <br /> <br />Facility Use <br />We reserved 152 hours of use occurring in March. Of this, over 90 hours was for Lions <br />Park Center. We are also busy working with Adult Softball, Youth Baseball, Girls Softball, <br />and TRSA to reserve summer field space. Their seasons begin by May 1 and they are usually <br />"itching" to get on fields by mid-April. This is allowed if weather permits. We met with <br />Community Ed, TRSA, Elk River United, Youth Baseball, and Girls Softball to coordinate <br />use. We will be conducting coaches training again for Girls Softball on April 26. This <br />training certifies their coaches with National Alliance for Youth Sports. I have been <br />conducting these trainings for many years. <br /> <br />Wellness Committee <br />The Wellness Committee was very busy in March taking sign ups and promoting the Shape <br />Up Challenge through Medica. We have 7 teams of 5 employees each participating. This <br />challenge focuses on healthy living as a whole and includes point earnings for eating 5 <br />fruits/vegetables, making healthier daily choices such as drinking 8 glasses of water or <br />parking in the back of parking lots, exercise of 30 minutes or more, take care of your health <br />through annual check ups and things like flossing your teeth, as well as taking time every day <br />to relax. The challenge is 6 weeks and we have a variety of activities planned during this <br />time for employees to do together on their own time. <br /> <br />Other <br />Summer programming is almost complete. Our first summer program guide, covering May- <br />August was delivered April 7. We will have a second summer guide, covering June-August <br />delivered June 2. We had our annual Easter Egg Hunt April 10 at Woodland Trails. This <br />event was co-sponsored by the YMCA and the National Honor Society at ERAHS. We also <br />have a large family event planned for Wednesday, May 26 to promote our summer programs <br />as well. This event is also co-sponsored by the YMCA and will take place at Lions Park. <br />We'll have food, face painting, a moonwalk, pony rides, and more! <br /> <br /> <br />
