Mayor & City Council December 21, 1994 Page 2 sports in place of the shirts above which are given for summer activities. 4. Team Pictures for Coaches - $300 These are given all coaches who desire one to keep as a memento of the season. 5. Youth Skating Party - $750 This annual event is held the first Saturday in February, and is open to all children of the community. Games, prizes, hot dogs, pop, chips, candy, clowns, and balloons are among the things that are provided at no charge to the participants. 6. Tournament Entry Fees - $300 This money was provided to help defray costs for our youth teams that entered into tournaments other than those associated with their regular season schedules. 7. Safety Camp - $500 This donation helped to subsidize the cost of this program which was a cooperative effort between the Parks and Recreation Departments in the cities of Little Canada, Roseville, Falcon Heights, and Lauderdale. 8. Coach Appreciation Picnic - $725 This annual event is held for all coaches who coached during the previous year. Held in Spooner Park in late August, it serves as a way to thank all of our coaches and spouses for their time and effort during the past year. Food and refreshments are served and door prizes given. This expresses the gratitude of the LCRA together with the Parks and Recreation Department staff in a way that would otherwise not be possible to convey from the City alone. The above direct support of our youth programs resulted in donations of over $13,500 during this past year. This, coupled with the invaluable collective advice from their membership at regular meetings, helped to keep our youth athletic activities both popular and affordable. I hope the above information conveys the importance of the LCRA to our City and its youth programs. In these busy times, it all too often happens that organizations such as this do not receive the recognition they deserve. Page 224
