SUMMER 2011
ISSUE
Dear neighbours,
Hopefully everyone is having a marvellous summer. We have been spared the many
rainy days that July has brought us in the past few years. We can hope to get enough rain to
diminish the cracks in the lawns and boulevards before the cold weather sets in, though.
The centre has been busy with rentals over the summer and we are looking forward to
fall programs starting up again. One change that everyone should note is that the community centre
has changed the run time for the Evening Drop-in Program that is provided for children aged 6 to 12
years. We are looking forward to being able to provide this program during the more regularly
attended times of year as well as matching the run time for the (downstairs) Youth Action Centre or
Youth Lounge Program that is offered by the City of Winnipeg for teenagers aged 13 to 18 years.
This means that we will begin later on in the fall, as noted further on in this newsletter, and that we
may also have open hours next summer, over the months of July and August.
After this fall season of indoor soccer, our long-time LRCC Soccer Convenor, Adam
Dooley, will be retiring from his position on the LRCC Board. The Board wishes to express many
thanks for all Adam has done for this community’s soccer parents and kids. We are looking for
someone who would be interested in the position to start immediately, so they can be trained by
Adam and thereby be well prepared to take on the role as of the March 2012 AGM
As always, we welcome your assistance with any of our programs or events - please
feel free to visit us or to contact us!
