Statt Report
Cheerleading Clinic
This was once again a big success with about 125 young girls between the ages of K and 6th grade
participating. This was a one day clinic and then the girls cheered at 1/2 time during a Varsity Boys
Soccer game. They were really cute! There were a lot of parents and extended family that attended
the game to watch them cheer. This is a fundraiser for the cheerleaders.
Fall/Winter 2000 Brochure
The brochure is complete and will be delivered in a few weeks. We will be putting all the
information on our website in the next week or so. We are offering our popular Wiggles and Giggles
class for 4-6 year olds this winter. This was a new program this past summer and was very
successful so we are giving it a try in the winter to see if it will be as popular which we think it will
be. A new program offering we have is called Exercise Fun for 3-5 year olds with a parent/guardian.
This will run in the mornings at Emporium and will feature fun active games.
Adult Leagues
Co Rec Volleyball has started with 8 teams this year and Women's Volleyball has started with 7. We
are looking forward to a fun season with these leagues and are hopeful that they will run smoothly.
Emporium
Concerts continue to be popular and the Fridays are booked until the end of January. We also now
have a Saturday each month for Techno night as this seems to be another niche in the area Emporium
can serve. There are a lot of students in the area who enjoy this kind of music and want a place to
listen to it and dance. We have a special event on October 18th, the Wednesday before MEA
featuring techno music as well. We are trying to get a fencing program in place and hope to have it
in place this winter. We are working with an organization who teaches this and they are looking for
an instructor in the area who is available on the nights we are looking at. We are also going to be
offering a self-defense program again this fall like we did last fall for teens.
Marketing 2000
RaeAnn and I attended a workshop for marketing and came back with the ideas flowing on some
creative ways to market. We are really excited to implement some of them.
