o Whitney - BSU Bowling Field trip at the Sub. Two field trips were taken to the Boise State University Student Union Building. Whitney students had a great time learning about college life while getting to have a fun time bowling and playing pool.
o Whitney Garden. The Whitney Community Center garden is now planted and ready for a productive growing season. We have already harvested and begun distributing fresh spring lettuce to Whitney families. The garden will also receive new decorative planters and compost bins this summer.
o Grace Jordan Garden. The Grace Jordan Community Garden is currently under construction with the sod removed and the boxes placed. Planting will be done this month.
o Morley Nelson Garden. The third Community Center Garden will be constructed in the Month of July. We would like to thank the Boise School District for its cooperation with this incredible project.

○ Warm Springs continues to attract a large number of junior players due to affordable rates for lessons and green fees.
○ The junior program remains strong again this year. ○ Youth classes are close to being full for the remainder of the summer.
Trends or Issues: о Weather continues to hamper rounds of golf and league play, with four nights
rained out. о Winter was rough on the course. Warm Springs was hit with substantial loss
of turf on fairways, tee boxes, green collars and approaches. Fortunately, the greens were not substantially affected. With that in mind, the maintenance crew fertilized and aerified the affected areas, reseeded the tee boxes and areas of the fairways by using a mixture of sand, compost and seed. We hope

Accomplishments:
о We have begun the recruiting process for two half-time AmeriCorps Members for the 2012-13 school year. These AmeriCorps members will be serving in our Neighborhood Community Center youth programs.
о Staff has completed evaluations for BSU Service Learning students. This semester we had 46 BSU students volunteer approximately 745 hours to BPR After-school, Mobile Rec, Teen Night and AdVenture programs.
о Recruitment for Summer Youth Employment Program positions is wrapping up. This year 13 high school students will be working in a variety of Recreation Programs.
о In May we held our annual dance recital at Timberline High School. We held two recitals with 22 youth and 6 adult classes performing for a packed audience. We had multiple parents thanking our staff of amazing teachers for all of their hard work.
о Youth Services staff also hosted 2 camping trips for the 6th grade boys and girls of ANSER charter school. Both the boys and girls trips were to Bruneau Sand Dunes State Park and the kids had a blast! In total there were 24 youth who were able to attend the overnight trip.
Process Improvements: ○ This year’s annual dance recitals were held without dress rehearsals (to
accommodate those who expressed concern after last year’s recital regarding late recital start times due to dress rehearsal) the new format was great and parents/participants showed appreciation for the change.
Trends / Issues: о Our Friday Teen Night program is continuing to maintain high numbers of
teens. We are compensating for these numbers with additional staff and BSU Service Learning Volunteers and interns.
Upcoming Events: о June will be the kickoff of our Movies Under the Stars program in partnership
with the Boise School District Education Foundation at Julia Davis Park. We have three movies scheduled, one each month of the summer. Activities for youth before the movie starts will include; field games with the Mobile Recreation Unit, face painting, live music, National Guard climbing wall and
concessions. We are expecting to see 1,500-2,500 people in attendance at each event. June 22nd will be the first of four Teen Pool Parties hosted by the Youth Services Unit. The party will be held at Ivywild Pool with a live DJ, pizza, soda, games, prizes and plenty of fun and splashing!
