Baseball Throw - 2002 Family Turkey Shoot Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department Program Highlights November Park Board Update YOUTH Youth Instructional: Many of our fall youth instructional programs are beginning to come to a close for the season. All fall session programs will be done for the season by the middle of next month. Registration for winter instructional programs is cur- rently underway. Baskets "Have a Ball ": We have decided, after meeting with the President of the Centennial Basketball Association (CBA), that we will no longer offer this program. Although this program was very successful, the CBA also offers a similar program and we do not wish to duplicate programs. CLUB: Thirty-nine youth attended our Cosmic Bowling and Tropics trip on November 8. Our next set of trips will be over winter break and include Grand Slam and Cheapskate on December 26, History Museum and the Grove on December 27 and MN Zoo and Imax on December 30. ADULT Five - Player Basketball: The season will begin December 4. Nine teams are in the league this season. �en Basketball: With the new school policy in effect, this program will be starting at 8 p.m. I anticipate this may affect attendance. A report will be developed at the conclusion of the season. Fitness: The Slim Express program, that has been a without a permanent location this fall, will be returning to its original location at Rice Lake Elementary this winter.
