����fi�� <br />This was an exciting year for the Harriet Alexander Nature Center. Many important <br />changes and improvements were implemented with impressive results. With operations <br />closer to optimal and a more diverse volunteer base, HANC can look forward to discovering <br />a greater potential for environmental education and service to the Roseville community. <br />i�l��rC ��n��_�.�f����..���.m�,.iti�� <br />HANC's Advisory Committee was reconstituted in May, which had recently become <br />dormant. This new committee began by revising guidelines and slightly restructuring its <br />organization. Its mission is "to provide the Lead Naturalist with recommendations for <br />HANC's operations, including special projects and programming. It is also to serve as an <br />advocate for HANC's many volunteers and to help communicate with the community about <br />HANC activities, programs, and needs." The Advisory Committee consists of fourteen <br />members, including: HANC Naturalist, Parks & Recreation Assistant Director, FORHANC <br />President, Interest Area Representatives(i.e. AdministrativeSupport, F�hibits, Gardens, <br />Natural Resources, Programs, Projects, Public Relations, & Social), and two at-large <br />members. The group meets once a month throughout the year. <br />9Proqr�mrnir�� �umrraarv,� Report <br />Program participation at HANC increased 10% in 2004, demonstrating an increased <br />visibility from determined programming and marketing efforts. The bulk of this increase <br />came from three sources: birthday parties, building rentals, and day camps. Birthday <br />parties are popular because parents prefer the ease of turning their party group over to our <br />naturalists, then going home to a clean house. When children attend a party that offers <br />the stimulation and novelty of our naturalist programs, they often ask to have their own <br />parties here. These same children have also started to register for day camps offered <br />during MEA week and Spring and Summer Breaks. Building rentals seem to also encourage <br />repeat customers. Once a group discovers HANC's relaxing atmosphere and lovely views, it <br />often returns for subsequent affairs and encourages others by word-of-mouth to use our <br />splendid site. Over the course of 2004, HANC developed a community following which will <br />hopefully lead to further beneficial relationships for the success of the nature center. <br />Rragrarn ��rpe <br />�h cr�l I� •��la in�r <br />_. ���,t,tstr ��r �r� � <br />Quir�3Ch <br />�C�lICS <br />--�mm❑n�r. <br />I�Irik�day Parti�s <br />�f#�r �rht,c,l <br />r��l� Is <br />��]�k'�CC E�I�.�rc��i�n <br />. f�y 1-s�m�s _ <br />Tvl.al .— <br />�� <br />--:� Pr��ra�ns <br />_ .. . � � <br />� <br />� � <br />�7 <br />. � <br />11 <br />1S <br />' — � c� <br />�'� <br />���_ _ 34� <br />� P �ro� r�m Partl�l� nt� <br />i0k�l ��In�er� T tiSrrint�; . �LSi i <br />G€�5 �� i 3�9 � <br />---��� �.–�-- - �� ; _ F�� j — <br />�5 <br />��� <br />3�4 <br />� <br />� ?{�H5 <br />-- —����' <br />5��� <br />� <br />lU9 <br />. ?� : <br />1�3 <br />�� ' <br />--- �3 � <br />._ �� .- <br />75 � <br />�J ' <br />ti� I <br />i�� <br />�} <br />�37 <br />���� <br />Q ; �,�r <br />13�0 _.. _.. �17� <br />5� 14� <br />E77 L35 <br />� � <br />�� I �0 <br />100 il� <br />t o��� <br />�o� �' .. i�. <br />79� i301 <br />
