Rec.. Com.Ed. & ECFE: <br /> Over the past several months staff representatives from Community Recreation, <br /> Community Education and ECFE have been working at developing quality programs <br /> and variety to best meet the needs of the community. Staff cannot do this alone, thus <br /> we are considering methods to strengthen our efforts. I would like to share our ideas <br /> and get your feedback. <br /> - Youthbound: Students from the DECA program at the Ivan Sand Community School <br /> have selected Youthbound for their Marketing Program project. This information will <br /> help us with our future promotional efforts. Participants of Youthbound have been <br /> interested in renaming Youthbound. Several have expressed interest in serving on a <br /> youth governing board and we are asking them to address the name change <br /> consideration. We believe this name change potential will be well timed with information <br /> from the student marketing project and can be part of future promotions. <br /> Youth Association Co-op: We have been meeting regularly to plan for the 1999 season. <br /> Youth Baseball and Girls Fastpitch were each pleased with the vision for future <br /> development at the Youth Athletic Clomplex as proposed and presented to them by <br /> Phil and Dana at the October Association Co-op meeting. <br /> Please call me with any questions. 241-3523. Happy Holidays! <br /> • <br />
