CURRENT RECREATION ACTIVITIES Pre-school Program S The Fall recreation program offered four new programs. One is a morning activity program for pre-school ages. Willy/Tilly's are 2-1/2 - 3 year olds and Fox and Geesers are the 4 and 5 year olds. The program is held at Groveland Park shelter from 9:30 a.m. - 11 :00 a.m. on Tuesdays and and Wednesdays. The program has 13 participants. The Groveland shelter has been a great cozy place for this program and they make good use of the Groveland Park playground. Because the shelter will be used for a skating facility beginning in December, the program will be transferred to Edgewood Community Center for the Winter months. After School Program The after school activities offered at Pinewood and Sunnyside Schools are also new. There are 56 participants in this program and include the following activities: Holiday crafts, flag football , Performing People Pleasers, volleyball , floor hockey and no cook snacks. The program was initiated because of the perceived needs and verbal requests of two working parent families. The goal of the program is to offer a fun, organized, safe and supervised program for children who ordinarily would have to come home from school to an empty home. Although this program is not a break-even program at this time, it is anticipated that with a year of initiation, it will become an established program in which parents can rely for after school activity and supervision for their children. Nutrition and Exercise • The Nutrition and Exercise programs is a one-time class which is targeted towards two special populations; pregnant women and senior citizens. Recognizing the need to remain active and fit during these life stages, special nutrition and exercise information is offered at each class. Splash Special Splash specials is a new aquatics program designed to offer a fun party-like activity in the pool with a theme (Halloween) games and activities. The corporate swimming program has escalated to include Medtronics and Onan employees. These employees come at various lap swim times and have the opportunity to use coupons for a price reduction. Halloween Carnival The Halloween activity this year will be co-sponsored by "Women of Today". About twenty game booths will be set up in the community room at City Hall . These booths will be manned by volunteers from both the Women of Today organization and Fare Share participants. Each reward for participation will be a piece of candy. Participants must have some sort of a costume. This event is designed to attract children 2-12 years old and is flexible in cost. Fifteen tickets will buy 15 tickets and each booth will cost one ticket. Everyone will be a winner and 1t is hoped that this event will be a safe and fun Halloween activity. •
