Staff Report
December 1999
New offices
We are moved into our new space and are really happy with it. Our open house is December 15 during
business hours. This will be very informal, with cookies and coffee. We also have magnets with our
new address and phone number on them and will be having a drawing for a sweatshirt. I hope you will
all be able to stop by.
Emporium
Emporium is going well and concerts continue to be popular with the local students. We have finally
gotten the facility back in order now that the construction is done. The students are happy with the new
space and feel that it works well for the activities we have there. We are in the process of purchasing a
newer, larger TV for them as well as a PA system for the bands. Both of these items will draw even
more students in.
Winter registration
Registration is going very well for winter programs. We have 530 registered so far. Many of these are
for the Skating Academy, which continues to grow and be very successful.
Figure skating club
• Some of the parents are in the process of starting a club for figure skaters through the United States
Figure Skating Association, which is the organization our skating program at the arena is affiliated with.
You must be a member of a club to be able to compete in USFSA sanctioned competitions. The club is
run by parent volunteers much like the Youth Hockey, Youth Baseball, Girls Fast Pitch and other
associations in our area. There is a one-year probationary period the club needs to go through before
they can be approved as an official club. This requires many terms to be met such as buying their own
ice, having at least 25 members, and having an adult instructional class. Our office is working with the
arena and the club to coordinate efforts and minimize issues that may occur with a new group coming
into the picture. There are many details that need to be sorted out and we will be working together to
accomplish this.
Spring programming
The spring brochure will be delivered on Feb. 3, with our registration beginning immediately and the
CE/ECF'E mass registration beginning Feb. 5. Programs will include 3 On 3 Intramural Basketball
League, gymnastics, pee wee programs,Easter egg hunts and more.
Outdoor ice rinks
We are working on staffing the warming houses this year. We have several returning staff members and
surprising we have several applications for people interested in working this year. It looks like we'll
have no problems getting everything covered(if it ever gets cold enough.).

Adult leagues
Adult leagues are going very well. We have Women's Volleyball beginning it's winter session in
January, Co Rec Volleyball, with 11 teams, runs through February and Men's Basketball just began in •
December, with 10 teams, and runs through March.
Yellow Ribbon program
We are working with a newly formed organization at the High School. They are trying to get
information into the various schools about suicide prevention. The Yellow Ribbon program is a national
program that was started by two parents who lost their son to suicide. The students are doing the work
and we have just been helping them with the cards and brochures they distribute. This is a program that
hits home for many in the area and seems to be well received at the schools. They are in the process of
getting the information into all the jr. highs.
Marketing
We are working hard to increase our marketing efforts for programs and events. Dan has been great
with flyers and sending items to the schools. We are now doing a calendar each month for open gyms
so that people can have the information in calendar form.
