<br />. <br /> <br />Staff Report <br />Michele Bergh <br />November 2000 <br /> <br />FalVWinter 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 /> <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 /> <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 />league now. <br /> <br />. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />. <br /> <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 />
