Memo
To: Advisory Board of Directors From: Alaina Lofthus, Recreation Services Manager Date: January 18, 2020 Subject: Recreation Activity Reports for October, November, and December 2019 _____________________________________________________________________ Attached are the monthly recreation activity reports for October, November, and December 2019. These reports reflect the number of people using our district facilities, participating in our recreation programs, and attending our special events. Here are some highlights reflected in the reports:
- Events: The district had some great events in this reporting period including the
Community Dance at La Sierra with the John Skinner Band, the Wall of Honor Ceremony at Patriots Park, the Annual Tree Lighting, and Silent Sleigh. An event attendee at the Wall of Honor Ceremony, whose son is one of the fallen heroes, thanked the district staff for this event and shared how meaningful it is for him and his family to celebrate their son’s life and to pay tribute to his sacrifice.
- Classes: The district’s popular Tai Chi class was back for this reporting period.
The class is well attended and has active participants who are appreciative the district’s instructor decided to keep teaching and postpone his retirement. The sign language class experienced a significant increase in October, up 13
- participants. Baby Ballet continues to be a consistently attended class for the
district and CPR and First Aid had two successful months in November and December.
- Youth Development Programs: The Kid’s Hangout After School Program
experienced a small dip in October but recovered well with increased daily attendance in November and December. The program had 52 children attend their Thanksgiving Break Camp and 38 attend their Winter Break Camp. The Carmichael Parks Foundation funded a special field trip to the Aerospace Museum of California for the children who attended the Winter Break Camp. PRESENTATION ITEM 2A
