ITEM ~ 8- ver MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Michele Bergh, Recreation Manager DATE: April 14, 2003 SUBJECT: Monthly Recreation Department Update Hot Topic(s) of the Month We are moving forward with our plans to begin accepting Internet registrations this year. We will be making the necessary adjustments and plan on having the system up and n,nn;ng for the September-October Program Guide. We are excited about implementing this and believe it will make things much easier for our customers. We also had 6`h grade visitors from Salk and VandenBerge through their Education to Employment program in March. The students came with a parent volunteer and asked various questions about our organization and then we did a word problem with them to demonstrate how we use math in our daily work. Our word problem was about planning and rumiing an Easter Egg Hunt. March Programs During the month of March, the programs we had nxtnting were Tumbling, Pee Wee Basketball, Parent and Tot Tumbling during the day, Preschool Tumbling during the day, Parents Night Chit, and our special non-school day event - a 4 Square Tournament. 4 Square is the hottest game on the playground and our first ever tournament was a huge success. We had 2-5 graders playing for 4 hours at Lions Park Center and all had a great time. Special Marketing Efforts We are really working hard to increase exposure and let people know about our programs and to let people know we no longer charge anon-resident fee. We are already beginning to see a growth in non-residents calling with questions and to register for programs because of the change. We participated in the Business Expo, complete with a "Lions Den" and lion roaming the halls of the high school. We made a mock cave and filled it with program supplies and equipment and rented a lions costume to promote our Lions Den Summer Day Camp and our Lions Park location. I have attached a few pictures from the day. We are also doing face painting and promoting programs at the Meadowvale Elementary and
