OCTOBER 199S
We finished our Summer Recreation activities on July 31' with
the final free movie of the series. I have attached a report which details
all of the classes we offered, number of participants and the amount of
money eollected as well as the expenses incurred for the classes.
The semi-annual Fishing Contest Co -sponsored by the Fishing and
Diving Center was held on Saturday, September 19th at Freddie Patrick
Park. This event is usually held in November but was moved to
September to avoid a schethiling conflict with another tournament. 1
have attached a special report detailing the contest. Sixty-seven children,
ages 6-16 participated in the event.
We have a new employee in the Recreation Department. Jaime
Bierwangen was hired as a Recreation Leader to work at the Youth
Center. She has established a very good rapport with the kids using the
Center. Jaime will assume the after school hours, 3-6:30 p.m. and
Saturdays from noon-5: 00 p.m. She is also cross training so she can fill
in ifone of the Recreation Aides has an emergency and cannot work 0110
scheduled shift at the Recreation Center.
Attendance at the Youth Center continues to declhie despite the
addition of the Air Hockey Game and special tournaments that Coach set
up to try to bolster attendance during the summer, i.e. pool, ping-pong,
chess, checkers, etc. Attendance for July 273, August, 174 and
September, 97.
With sadness, I have accepted the resignation ofJack "Coach" Schryer.
Jack has been with us for several years and was a key player in setting up,
and developing some rules and guidelines for the operation of the Youth
Center.
I plan to apply for a FRDAP Grant (Florida Recreation Development
Assistance Program) and ask for a waiver of retroactivity for the
development of Patriots Park. We couldn't apply in this grant period as
we do not yet own the property. Kohn Bennett has contacted M s.
Mosher regarding the purchase of the property but no contract is
pending at this time. The City has a 850,00 FRDAP Grant for the
purchase of the property.
Upcoming events include the Recreation Department's 23'
Anniversary Racquetball Tournament on October 23, 24 and 25th.
Terror on Taylor Avenue will be held on Wednesday, October 2Sth. It is
being expanded this year, as the Sheriffs Department employees will be
making a haunted house in the assembly room at the Recreation Center.
This year's guided tour will begin at the "haunted house" and continue
outside throw,th the "haunted forest". The advertised hours are from
6:30 to 8:30 p.m., however, we plan to begin the tours when it becomes
dark enough to be scary and continue until everyone in line has an
opportunity to take the tour.
The Seniors Health Fair will be held at the Recreation Center on
Saturday, November ir from 9 a.m. till 12 noon. This is a new event and
hopefillly will be sueeessful enough to be continued on a yearly basis.
The Visiting Nurses Association will be giving flu and pneumonia
injections, Pharmacist Kathy Petsos will conduct a medication cheek up
for participants, the CCVFD will be giving free blood pressure checks
and taking sign ups for seniors CPR classes. Health First will have
information on their Lifeline program and Ernie Perry will distribute
the Vial of Life and htformation on senior services that are available to
our citizens. Last but certainly not least, we will offer free refreshments
to all those in attendance.
I have entered the City Float (Ship) in the Cocoa Beach Christmas
Parade on Saturday, December 12th, which is the same day as the
Reindeer R11111. The parade will begin at 2:00 p.m.; I will give you
instructions on where and when to meet as soon as I am notified. You
are weleome to invite your family members to join you on the float.
The Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held on December 13' at
the Library beginning at 7:00 p.m. Cape View Elementary School
Rocket Chorus and the Dickens Carolers will perform traditional
holiday music and Santa will make an appearance. A permanent tree
will be placed, and decorated, in the circle in front of the Library.
Refreshments will be served.
