RECREATION: PROGRAM CANCELLATIONS DUE TO WEATHER. Many programs were canceled due to hazardous weather this week. It was the first week for many programs including swimming, after school activities and gymnastics. WE WON! The City is the recipient of the Award of Merit for City Hall Communications. This is a nation-wide competition for the best public information publications. Special recognition is directed to Shane Linke for the preparation of the newsletter, layout, type, graphics, pictures and format. Key public information content is provided by all staff members, and was deemed as very pertinent and helpful for community residents. The City should be very proud of this award and recognition. ICE ARENA MEETING ATTENDED. I attended the second ice arena meeting with neighboring city Parks and Recreation Directors. We are preparing information regarding recreational programs to be offered to the communities that use non-peak ice time. The City Council meeting evidently hasn't been set yet, but should be held in early February. At this time the Councils will receive a full presentation of the coalition proposal. NWYFS OPEN HOUSE. I attended the Northwest Youth and Family Services Open House last Thursday. I met with many staff members, leaving my card and requests for a partnership in transporting Mounds View youth to the teen center. The center is very nice, but very far for Mounds View teens. Those that I spoke with seemed to be very interested in working together on some kind of program that will provide transportation to and from the teen center. SHOVEL BRIGADE PARTICIPATION. The Shovel Brigade program has resulted in 3 youth participants and 2 requests from residents for shoveling assistance. We have matched these people up. My follow-up calls indicate that participants have set up a partnership. We hope that participation increases, but this is a start. "People Helping People". CREDIT CARD REGISTRATIONS INCREASING. The number of credit card registrations are increasing by leaps and bounds. It is really a nice service, and makes administration of registrations easier for staff. GOLF COURSE: LESSONS AND LEAGUES BROCHURE BEING PREPARED. We will be distributing the special golf lessons and leagues brochure to City residents soon. The brochure is being prepared. GOLF INSTRUCTORS APPLICATIONS ARE BEING SOLICITED. We are advertising golf instructors in this Sunday's papers. Golf instruction will begin in May and therefore it is important to have instructors committed for the season as soon as possible.
