PROGRAMMING
YMCA Programs - We continue to build a strong working relationship with the Ridgedale
YMCA. Our co-sponsorship of Pre-school programs has been very successful. Our basketball
program wrapped up its second session the xveek of February 10 and the spring floor hockey will
being February 27th. Pre-school classes fill up quickly to capacity and, due to the rabid demand,
we regularly expand them beyond their initial enrollment. We are currently taking waiting list
names for floor hockey. The YMCA will also be heading up a summer T-ball program. This
will begin in May.
Gym Schedule - The spring open gym schedule, spanning March 1 - April 30, has been
completed. In addition to maintaining consistency with most of the times basketball and
volleyball time, we have also added Open Walk/Jog times in the schedule. This is reaction to the
numerous phone calls staff has received over the winter inquiring about a walking track. Use of
the gym during these times will be free of charge to the public.
MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES
Parking - Parking at the Rec Center is still at a premium. Tentative plans are being made to
permanently increasing the parking capacity on the Rec Center side possibly as early as this
summer. Until then, a number of temporary measures will be sought out. These include the
possibility of eliminating a fire lane and increased cooperation with District 112 to spread out the
parking overflow.
New Hiring - Patty Dexter is in the process of interviewing qualified candidates to fill 2-3
facility supervisor positions vacated by JJ Ryan and Michelle Braun.
