Please call me at 241- <br /> 3523 if you have any questions or comments. <br /> Overview of 1995 Recreational Programming: Of course there is still a substantial amount of 1995 <br /> remaining, but I want to take the opportunity at this time to share with you the past 8 months <br /> activities. This past Winter and Springs activities included: skating lessons, gymnastics, intramural <br /> basketball, youth bowling, cheerleading clinics, youth volleyball, open gyms, and a variety of family <br /> and youth oriented special events. Spring is also very busy preparing for the upcoming summertime <br /> activities that we offer as well as coordinating use of the outdoor ballfields that are utilized by the <br /> youth athletic associations. <br /> The summer of 1995 offered: Numerous T Ball opportunities ( This was the 2nd year of evening <br /> opportunities as well), Just "4" fun (similar to T ball but for 4 year olds), S.P.O.R.T., Preschool aged <br /> opportunities, several entertainment events in parks settings( Thursday in the Park ), soccer camp, <br /> basketball camps, tennis lessons, golf lessons,track and field, football camp, "Ride the Rec.", open <br /> gyms, strength and conditioning programs, Fridays' are the "pits", penny carnivals , scavenger hunt. <br /> We estimate that nearly 4000 youth took part in opportunities that were provided them this summer. <br /> We also organized a Fun Run and Sand Lot Volleyball Tournament in early June in conjunction with <br /> the Elk River Community Festival. <br /> Fall '95 will bring: Women's volleyball, Men's volleyball, Men's basketball, open gyms/weight room, <br /> intramural volleyball, flag football, indoor walking, gymnastics, and numerous special events to take <br /> place on non-school days. <br /> 1996 Recreational Opportunities : I am hopeful that the following goals could be reached in 1996. <br /> - Continue" Ride the Rec" and similar that provide transportation <br /> - New opportunities for Teens <br /> - Improvements to camps w/ support from the associations <br /> • - Increase Family opportunities <br /> - Utilization of the Woodland Trails area (Promotion of the area ) <br /> - Field development <br />
