Kids Yoga (10 – 15 years old) – 7 registered. A new class scheduled for March Kids Yoga, Let’s Play
(5 – 9 years old) – currently 11 are registered.
Summer – Denise sent a memo to Town Manager Peter Lukes expressing the Recreation Committee’s view on the Selectmen’s proposal for the non-resident day passes. It highlights the non- resident day pass usage on top revenue days and highest volume days. Attendance of non-residents is a very low percentage of the pool population in both categories.
A draft of the 2018 Summer Brochure is included for your input. Page 3 is missing as we are waiting for a decision about pool pass rates.
Summer classes and programs went “live” yesterday on our on-line registration site. Next week phone calls will be made to last summer’s staff to see if any plan on returning, and press releases will be sent out advertising employment opportunities.
Passes go on sale Monday, April 2nd at 9:00 a.m., online and in the office.
Eagle Lake draw down to start in May. The Eagle Lake Committee will be holding a kayak race in April.
Motion made by Erin Bradbury seconded by Lisa Post to adjourn at 7:54 p.m.
The next Recreation Committee meeting will be held on Tuesday March 13, 2018 @ 7:00 p.m. in the Recreation Office.
