Staff Report
November 1999
Move
The area is almost complete and although we don't have a firm date yet, we have been told that we
should be able to operate from our new offices by Thanksgiving. The phone is working over there and
has a message for people to still call our 241-3523 phone number is on the voice mail.
Hotline
The hotline is being used every day and this is very encouraging. The system that is set up lets us know
how many times it's called and when. We currently have open gym information and some other general
information on there.
Website
Again, I'd like to encourage you to take a look at our web site. We are trying to get the word out about
it and Ijust added a counter so we'll be able to tell how many times it's being visited.
Winter 2000 Programs
We have enclosed a brochure for you in case you haven't seen them yet. We are very excited about the
programs we have offered this quarter and registration is looking good.
New Employee
Dan Fields has been hired as our new Programming Assistant. We are very happy to have him on board.
We believe that he'll make a wonderful addition to our staff and look forward to being able to market
our programs and our organization better because of his talents.
Emporium
Emporium continues to be successful with the concerts on the weekends. We have many bands wanting
to play and the attendance is good. The students are very supportive of our offices being located there.
Th~ike the set up of the new space. We had our Violence Prevention program on November 4 and,
while we had a small group in attendance, I think it was a success. The girls were all asking when we'd
be doing it again and they want their friends to attend and they want to attend again. We had a speaker
from Central MN Sexual Assault Center who lead a small group discussion about relationships, abuse,
what to do if you become a victim, etc. Wayne from Professional Karate did an hour's worth of self-
defense techniques and taught the girls a variety of ways to defend themselves. Then we did more
discussion on relationships and discussed a variety of scenarios. The girls all received a bag of goodies
and information for them to take home.
