QUARTERLYREPORT JULY 1999
Scheduled events and classes the quarter ending in June went well and
were, on the most part, well attended.
The annual Easter Egg I hmt was held on April 3" at City Park. Two
hundred fifty-four (2a4) children, ages pre-school through 3" grade
attended.
The Fishing Contest, scheduled on May 1' was rained out, and, was not
rescheduled. iVe will have another contest in the fall, most likely in
Nolember.
The annual Spring Fling Racquetball Tournament was held on April
30th, May 1and 2. The tournament was very successfill with seventy-
o participants, reminiscent of tournaments held in past years. (see
attached report)
Racquetball and tennis are very cyclical sports. Right now, there is
resurgence in tennis popularity and racquetball is off: Our racquetball
revenues reflect this trend. Also, the new IIeaItIipIex on Merritt Island,
with two indoor courts, have attracted many of our more avid players.
The attractiveness of indoor courts, which are playable during rain and
extreme heat, has certainly caused an exodus from our courts.
Ilopeffilly, the fall and nice weather will bring them back I will work on
that!
Our summer recreation program began in June.
'sSe have a new tennis pro on board who is working hard and attracting
players, both juniors and adults, on all levels, to Cape Canaveral. His
name is Chip Weber. Chip is a certified usvrt professional with
twenty-two vears of teaching experience. A welcome addition to our
facility!
I reluctantly accepted Jaime Bierwangen's (Youth Center Recreation
Leader) resignation in May. She returned to Michigan to continue her
education.

BICYCLE SAFETY RODEO
APRIL r & 8*, 1999
A Bicycle Rodeo was held at Cape View Elementary during the regular
school day, to maximize participation. Third through sixth grade
students participated during their P.E. and special classes time.
Approximately two hundred and five students (205) availed themselves
of the opportunity to go through the challenge course, set up by Barbara
Meyer, Brevard County bicycle safety coordinator. Parks & Recreation
Department employees "manned" the different stations along with Cape
View Elementary School P. E. teacher, Jack Schryer and two school
volunteers.
In conjunction with the Bicycle Safety Rodeo, the V.F.W. Auxiliary had
their annual Lite-a-Bike. Eleven auxiliary members put the reflective
tape on one hundred twenty three bikes.
The Auxiliary also donated eight bicycle helmets that were giveii away
through a draw ing. One hundred eighty six (186) kids registered for the
draw
C.O.P.'s Bill Hanson, Ruth Tabula and Liz Lyon registered
biQ cies. Ifflie registered biey Ices are recovered by the Sheriffs
Department after being lost or stolen, they can match up the owner
through this registration.
Brevard County has a grant to purchase helmets for distribution to
disadvantaged youths and Cape View Principal, Joy Salamone has
agreed to eoordinate that effort in our communit. I will work with
Barbara to make that happen.
Expenses: 87.00 for flyers + staff time
