The Red Cross <br />held a Babysitters Training class at City Hall. The class was full with 12 <br />participants. Mielke's son Luke attended the class and came home with a lot of <br />helpful information. Another Yoga session has started and has 8 participants. <br />This will be the last session prior to summer; we hope to continue it again in <br />the fall. The golf programs have had a good turn out. All Youth Spring Kick off <br />lessons have filled and some sections of the adult lessons will go and some <br />are in need of more participants. <br />Abernathy also reported that a woman by the name of Kathryn Morrison, the <br />Director of Marketing from Rosepointe Senior Apartments had contacted her <br />regarding providing some sponsorship to help with for any of our programs or <br />events.
