Tap and Ballet Dance Class Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department Program Highlights October Park Board Update '7. YOUTH Youth Instructional: Our fall youth instructional programs are now well underway. We had to adjust the start dates of some programs due to construction delays at a couple of the elementary schools, but we notified participants and received little negative response. Registration numbers have remained consistent with, if not improved over, last year's registration numbers. CLUB: We had our first set of CLUB outings for the school year this month. Thirty -seven children participated in the "Fall Harvest Fun" trip on October 17. Twenty -six children participated in the "Cheapskate and Movie" trip on October 18. Thirty -three participants attended our family "Zoo Boo" trip on October 26. Our only trip planned for next month is Cosmic Bowling and Tropics on November 8. Youth Soccer: This program concluded on October 26 with a weekend playoff for the older participants. Based on the feedback we received, this was another great year for this program. Aft Youth Football: This season we saw an increase in participation and teams across all divisions. The season Imp concluded with a playoff and will have a championship game on November 7 (weather permitting). ADULT Fitness: Fitness classes have been disrupted due to the new school district facility use policy. It is uncertain if we will continue to offer these classes. Open Basketball and Volleyball: Due to the new school district facility use policy, these programs have been revised. We will evaluate the attendance at these programs and monitor any effects the new policy may have had on them. SPECIAL EVENTS Family Turkey Shoot: This year's event will be held on Saturday, November 16, 2002 at Centennial Middle School. We've received an overwhelming response again this year from both Centennial and Forest Lake Senior High Schools in regards to our request for volunteers. Breakfast with Santa: This event reached its capacity of 200 individuals on September 30 - the earliest its ever filled. Due to this early fill date, we added an additional 20 spots.
