During this second quarter much planning went into the Festival <br /> In the Park. The Festival Committee met on a regular basis to <br /> plan our City-wide event. While the Festival occurred in the <br /> third quarter, many hours of planning occurred in the second <br /> quarter. It takes a lot of time, organization and coordination <br /> to pull off such an event. <br /> Softball leagues both youth and adult were organized during this <br /> second quarter. Registrations, coaches trainings, managers <br /> meetings, equipment distribution, practice and games schedules <br /> were prepared. This is a major project, serving large numbers of <br /> youth and adult participants. <br /> Mounds View Community Theater began work recruiting production <br /> staff positions, auditioning, organizing and making arrangements <br /> for scripts and royalties, tickets, school usage, etc. Many <br /> volunteers work behind the scenes for projects such as Mounds <br /> View Community Theater and Festival . <br /> The Garden Club, a group of residents interested in beautifying <br /> the City met on a regular basis during the second quarter and <br /> planned several plantings within the City. Members ordered <br /> flowers and planted them. They are on a schedule of plant care. <br /> A myriad of summer programs began in June and continue throughout <br /> the summer. Traditional programs such as swimming lessons, <br /> summer playground programs, safety camp, youth athletics, sport <br /> clinics, and trips were planned, organized and implemented <br /> throughout the second quarter. <br /> The second quarter requires high levels of forestry activities. <br /> This is the most advantageous time for tree planting. In <br /> addition, Arbor Day activities take place during the months of <br /> April and May. Many school and scout groups participate in City <br /> and School cooperative ventures in Arbor Day tree planting <br /> activities. Large trees were planted at City Hall and along Long <br /> Lake Road. Other trees that had died due to disease or damage <br /> were replaced throughout the City. Many trees were planted at <br /> the Golf Course. <br /> Park reservations including athletic field use permits, picnic <br /> shelter reservations, picnic kit reservations, tournament <br /> facility reservations, and other park facility requests are "bit- <br /> time" during this second quarter. Family reunions, class <br /> reunions, weddings, receptions, church picnics, and graduation <br /> parties are the common events for which people reserve park <br /> facilities. <br />
