Centennial Hockey Association — Volleyball Court Donation A donation of $250 was received from the Centennial Youth Hockey Association to be used for the Sand Volleyball Court. In addition, there was notification from the Dead Broke Saddle Club for the approval of $5,000 as a donation for park improvements to be designated for the Sand Volleyball Court. The committee requested that staff prepare a thank you letter to the Dead Broke Saddle Club for their donation and have the committee members sign it. Discussed an appreciation plaque. Once the location has been determined, bids will be needed for two new volleyball courts at a maximum cost of $15,000. Preferred orientation of courts would be north/south, not east west. Discussed two possible location options: by the scoreboard on the north side or, north of the play structure at Laurie LaMotte Park. Mr. Paul Palzer was requested to research the best location. 7. Review of Family Fun Night Activities (February) There was a very low turnout (approximately 35 to 40 participants) due to warm weather — skating cancelled; the telescope viewing was very popular thanks to Mr. Wayne LeBlanc for volunteering and sharing his expertise in this area. The Committee felt that a name change from Skating Party to Winter Celebration would be good going forward in case of no ice or inclement weather. 8.
