* Plans are to begin watering down the rinks next week after the predicted warm <br /> spell later this week. <br /> * Kevin Jacobs completed his Eagle Scout project - the park sign at Random Park. <br /> A resolution will be prepared for presentation at the first City Council meeting in <br /> December. <br /> * Sliding hill at Silver View has been prepared with hay bales around the trees. It <br /> should be good sliding weather! <br /> * Rinks plan to be opened Friday, December 23 weather permitting. <br /> * Staff has received 3 volunteers for Park Patrolling as of this date. I think that is <br /> great! <br /> RECREATION <br /> * The mini sessions of after school activities begin this and next week. The <br /> activities have a holiday theme and have been very popular . . . create a treat, <br /> Mrs. Claus Crafts, Rocket Ruckus, and Make It and Wear It - classes being held <br /> in the elementary schools at Pinewood and Sunnyside. <br /> * Staff attended a meeting with the Middle School enrichment staff coordinating <br /> activities for that age group.

So <br /> far over 40 people have called to say that they plan to be a part of the <br /> community caroling night! Keep your ears open on the evening of December 17 <br /> - we may just carol down your street! <br /> * The annual "Turkey Shoot" was held. Over 106 people participated. This is a <br /> family activity where children and parents team up to get a combined score for <br /> various activities including basketball freethrows, hockey goals, frisbee toss, <br /> football toss and soccer kick. It is a fun activity for the family. Winners <br /> received turkeys donated by the Mounds View Lion's Club. <br /> * The School Day off trip rollerskating was chaperoned by Mary on Veteran's <br /> Day. This too is a popular program where children have a supervised activity <br /> during days when school is not in session. Next similar activities are planned <br /> for Holiday vacation week. <br /> * This week was the last for Dana Willis, our student intern. She will now <br /> graduate from BYU and will be looking for full time work in Parks and <br />
