There has <br />been an interest in making these programs highly accessible with a wide <br />variety of activity offerings. This summer's recreation program staff has <br />begun planning for the upcoming season and is prepared to share some of <br />the ideas planned for this summer. <br />Carol Kriegler will give a brief update on the overall status of this summer's <br />recreation programs and Chris Ammann, summer recreation program <br />coordinator, will share some of the plans for "Time-In" and "High-Five". <br />
