Leisure Classes Registration Report 2. Senior Center Attendance Report RECOMMENDATION: Receive Report FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: The Parks and Community Services Department develops and implements quality programs that strengthen community image, provide recreational experiences, encourage healthy lifestyles and preserve the City's heritage. This is accomplished by providing innovative recreation, social and cultural programs in the areas of playgrounds, preschool, teens, sports, special events, leisure classes, seniors and aquatics. Following is a summary of programs conducted during spring 2009. RECREATIONAL CLASSES Various leisure classes taught by contracted instructors were offered to serve community members of all ages. The majority of the classes were taught in six to eight week sessions although some classes are less than eight weeks and others are offered as a one time workshop. There were 132 recreational classes offered during spring 2009. Attachment 1 is a detailed report of class registration. These offerings provided a positive recreational experience to the participants and the opportunity to enhance health and well being. Popular children's classes during the spring included Judo, Gymnastics, Bowling, Ice Skating, Tae Kwon Do, Pee Wee Playtime, and Karate. Popular adult classes included Weight Training with Diodatics, Hatha Yoga, Pilates, Retirement Planning and Filipino Martial Arts. The table on the following page summarizes registration for Recreational Classes. There was a 34% decrease in registration for spring leisure classes. This is primarily due to the cancellation of the second spring session of the popular judo classes because the instructor was no longer available. This was a loss of 64 registrations. Without the loss of those classes the decrease this spring would have been 20%, which may be attributable to the economic downturn. Staff will continue to focus on providing a mix of affordable programs to address this issue.

The program operates on school days at all public elementary schools. Participants engage in a variety of activities such as indoor and outdoor games, arts and crafts, special events and quiet time for homework. Every other month Staff coordinates a special event on Mondays at each site called "Monday Fundays". The After School Recreation program provides youth the opportunity to participate in recreational as well as educational activities in a safe and supervised environment. This program also enhances the participant's physical and emotional health. After School Recreation provides youth a fun and healthy alternative to spending their after school hours in front of the television playing video games or just "hanging out" in an unsupervised atmosphere. When comparing to last spring the number served by the program decreased by 22 people (19%) this spring. This is partially due to the closure of Nielsen Elementary and may also be due to less families needing after school supervision of their children due to unemployment. When comparing registration between Session I and II of this school year, there was a 10% decrease in registration. This is the same as decrease between Session I and II of last school year. Following is a summary of registration for the second half of the school year.

Attendance continued to grow with a 3% increase compared to last spring. The development of new classes keeps activities fresh and increases attendance. A volunteer instructor has returned to offer Hula Dance, and two Ukulele Classes. The increase in the line dance attendance is due to adding two new line dance classes. During this quarter Staff was also able to restart the AARP Mature Driving course as a new instructor was found. The Senior Center launched a modified version of the Dublin's Integrity in Action Program geared towards adults. The program recognizes people who continuously display outstanding character traits. In May, Linda Schmidt, the Quilting Instructor and Helen Eddy, the Friday Bridge Coordinator, were the first to be recognized. The award recipients are featured on the new Integrity in Action bulletin board at the Senior Center. The program is for Senior Center patrons, students, teachers, and volunteers. Page 3 of 13 Staff implemented a Coffee Sponsorship Program in 2009 to pay for the cost of coffee, paper products and condiments. This allows the Senior Center to provide free coffee for patrons. In addition to the cash sponsorships, the Center continues to receive in-kind coffee donations from Starbucks, Mr. Bean Coffee, and Longs Drug Stores. The City received $2,300 in cash sponsorships from three sponsors during the first half of 2009.

TEEN PROGRAMS Student Union After School Program Student Union is an after school recreation program designed specifically for middle school students.

Daily activity themes included fitness, music, art, dance, games and free time. There were 64 students registered for session II, which was a 14% decrease compared to the prior year.

There was a decrease in attendance by both vendors and attendees which can be attributed to the economic downturn as well as the unseasonable weather.

The Dublin Heritage Center staff hosted the "O'Reilly Irish Tea Room" in the Library, complete with tea and crafts.
