Summary

Recreation staff reported 91 charter clubs, ongoing bylaw updates, expanding events including Music on the Green and food-truck festival, library memory kits in partnership with Banner, and online voting deadlines for members.

Casey Huda, recreation manager, and Katie O'Grady, general services officer, outlined activity and outreach for clubs, special events and library programming.

Huda said the community has 91 charter clubs and that staff worked with 32 clubs over the past year to update bylaws. The scheduling team is using broader access to EMS scheduling software so more staff can coordinate facility use. Huda highlighted special events including the BASH, Music on the Green, a food-truck festival planned for April 1 at Beardsley Park, and a Munchy Monday pilot at the library.

Katie O'Grady said the Recreation News print edition was updated and that owner-members who want to vote online must have an email on file with membership by March 17; in-person voting is scheduled for March 31. She described plans for virtual facility tours to be produced by staff and contractors to showcase individual rec centers and club facilities for prospective residents and families.

On library programming, Katie and staff said the library is launching multi-sensory “memory kits” developed with input from Banner, Sun Health Research Institute, to support residents with memory needs. The library also integrated a new calendar with its catalog to surface related activities, and staff are considering repurposing children’s area space to create additional multipurpose meeting space to meet demand.
