Frischman stated she wanted to thank our Parks Department intern Jen Saver for her 16 weeks with the Department. She has been invaluable. She will be a huge asset to the industry and it would be wonderful to find a way to keep her on board. Breuer stated she is working hours at the FSC front desk and working at warming houses. Meyer stated he would like to talk to the seniors out there. Meyer stated there is a new Wii (computer game) that has just been installed at the Family Service Center. There were a few senior ladies that played Wii for 2 hours and thoroughly enjoyed it. They played tennis, bowled and played golf. This is all with the arms. You are duplicating the movement of the arm in these sports. It is a wonderful new tool that we have. Everyone can do it. Trevorrow stated we have an asset that is underused. It is Brightwood Hills for Cross Country Skiing. He talked about the possibilities of getting more involved; maybe by keeping the building opened on weekends or possibly renting equipment. Even if that doesn't happen, he just wanted residents to know that there are trail there to be used. It is not a groomed trail, but trails made by other skiers.
