Staff Report <br />November 2001 <br />Michele Bergh <br /> <br />Open Gyms <br />Open gyms will begin November 18th and are staffed. We have two staff members who <br />will be splitting the hours. Open gyms will be available in both Rogers and Elk River. <br />They are offered on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have added a <br />softball component to begin in January for those in softball and/or baseball to practice. <br />We will provide an area for them to practice throwing and catching with safe balls. This <br />has been a growing need over the past few years. Open gyms run through mid-March. <br /> <br />Auditor Update <br />We have been verifying information and reconciling the calendar year 2000. Gary, the <br />District auditor, and I have meet and I hope to have a more conclusive report by the <br />meeting on the 19th. <br /> <br />MRPA Conference <br />We spent the 7th and 8th of November at the MRPA Conference in Duluth and I feel like <br />it was a great conference and I came away with some valuable information. We attended <br />sessions on Tobacco Free Youth Recreation, Quality Customer Service, Managing <br />Today's Youth Workers, How to Motivate People, How to be a Leader, Ages and Stages <br />of Children and how to teach your staff this information, Concerts/Entertainment in the <br />Park, and more. The conference was very motivating and we are excited to implement <br />some of the things we learned. <br /> <br />Wrapping up the Year <br />We have also been busy, sorting through equipment and supplies and dividing up <br />anything necessary. T-ball equipment has been sorted and the remaining equipment <br />belonging to Rogers will be sorted at the end of the programs that are currently running. <br />We have extra shirts from past years and are looking for ideas on what to do with them. <br />Please let me know if you have any. <br /> <br />Leagues <br />The Co-Rec Volleyball and Women's Volleyball leagues are up and running with great <br />success. We are pleased with our numbers and have taken steps this year to streamline <br />the communication and paperwork between our office and the league. The process in <br />place is working very well and everyone seems happy. <br /> <br /> <br />
