HOLIDAY CHEER PARTY FOR SENIORS - Over 110 people attended the 3rd annual Holiday
Cheer party at the Steeple Center on the afternoon of Wednesday, December 18th. Guests dined on
snacks and holiday treats and then sang, laughed, and even danced along with the Looney Lutherans, who
were here to perform their show, "Hold the Lutefisk, It's Beginning to Smell a Lot Like Christmas." It was
a great way to celebrate the holiday season, and we received a lot of wonderful feedback about the event.
OPEN GYM - The Parks and Recreation department recently added some new equipment to the popular
Parent/Tot Open Gym program at the community center. Along with various balls, hula hoops and
basketball hoops we have added tunnels, bounce -on balls, balance beams and an obstacle course. Young
children will have fun while gaining confidence and a sense of achievement from improved balance,
coordination and creativity. This new equipment also develops motor skills and individual and
collaborative play skills. The Parent/Tot Open Gym program runs Monday, Wednesday & Friday from
9:30-1lam.
