Review statistics and report
BACKGROUND:
October was a busy month with over 34,000 people through our doors. The children's programs attracted more than 1000 people. Please note that there were no specific teen activities; those events which attract all ages are rolled into the children's stats. Also, we send someone to 2-3 senior homes each week. Those statistics are rolled into adult events stats.
We have formed a Teen Advisory Group. Teens are expected to volunteer one hour a week and they meet monthly. They have only met once but have great ideas for future teen activities. Sabrina, our new LA2 in Youth Services, has a particular passion for teens.
November is the last month for Judy Corless, a 25 year employee. At the end of October and early November we interviewed candidates for her replacement, although the position won't quite be the same. An offer has been made; more to come on that. This will be followed by another on-call recruitment; then we hope to be done with staffing for a while. Speaking of staff, we had a wonderful staff training on October 9 and the first annual cleaning day on October 10 went really well too. Three of us went to an all day diversity conference in Portland for public employees which was excellent. 6 union employees were evaluated in October, the month set aside for that.
The Foundation event came off without a hitch. In addition to donor signage, a lot of other signage is starting to be addressed. The first round of signs ordered by the architects was fabulous, but we have discovered that we need quite a bit more.
November looks to be as busy as October; please see attached calendar.
