OLD BUSINESS: A final report on the Summer Program was turned in by Ron Mielke as follows: "The recreation program began June 10 and ran through July 31, 1969. Registration for the program was held on June 4, 1969. The cost per child was $4.00 and $10.00 per family. The following activities were offered as part of the program: baseball, tennis, archery, softball, crafts, little theater, dancing, and story hour. There were three special event days. Field Day, Wheel Parade, and Hobo Day. I felt that the turnout was good for the last two. The poor response of the Field Day may have been the result of poor communication. Also the S.R.A. Puppet Wagon came twice. The turnout for this was also quite good. We had three baseball and two girls softball games with Excelsior. I feel the children had a lot of fun doing this. Recommendations for next years program: 1. Tennis facilities be made available in Chanhassen. I feel there would be a big response if the courts were closer. 2. Have the school commit themself on the use of the stage for little theater. 3. Hire arts and crafts instructor early so she can order supplies and attend the crafts school sponsored by Gagers. 4. Find some parents willing to work on a baseball prugram for the older boys. Teams could be formed and games scheduled between these teams. 5. Limit T-Ball to boys ages 7-9. The boys would be more physically mature and get more out of it. 6. Have two groups for softball, both boys and girls. The younger children could play kickball or similiaI qame3 ana older softball. 7. ~~~e director mor~ tim~ to organize tournaments and contests. l~ ~o~ld also glve hlm more time to oversee the other actlvltles. 8. Have cards to make it easier to identify children in the program. Ih~o~ld like to thank the Commission for the fine cooperation WtlCt ~hey extended to me in organizing and getting the program ;har e.
