The Community Council is looking for a volunteer willing to chair this years campaign. If interested please contact Marnie Kirchgessner 272-2241. SWIM PROGRAM We want to thank Danny Hubbell and all the Enfield Firemen for their generous donation of the use of the pond for our swim program. We have hired Joel Switzer to life guard a free swim program. To date we have not located a certified WSI but we're still looking! Swimming will start July 5, 1 pm to 5 pm daily. We will encourage family swim (children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult, parent or guardian) Tuesday through Friday. Brandon Carlisle will be Joel's assistant. -3- • TEENS The Community Council is working with the Town Board to develop a proposal to supervise teens to work on town projects similar to the Teen Work Project the Community Council sponsored several years ago. The first proposed project would be improvements to the community building including (but not limited to) construction of cupboards and (perhaps) laying a new floor upstairs. If you are interested in supervising or participating in such a project, call Diane Lovelace (272-4229) or Marnie Kirchgessner (272-2241). We're both difficult to reach so you can also send a resume to ECC, 191 Enfield Main Road, Ithaca. This program needs both Town Board and County Youth Bureau (as well as Roger Rumsey's) approval to start. So tentatively we hope for an early July start date. PROGRAM UPDATES ENRICHMENT AND AFTERSCHOOL Under the direction of Dianne Lovelace we have completed another year of programming. The Community Council is again evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the programs. If you have any comments please send them to the Community Council, 191 Enfield Main Road. We expanded our attendance this year and the school district is interested in knowing if further • expansion is needed. With the much needed expansion of Enfield School becoming a reality and our afterschool staff stabilized (maybe even happy!) - we hope to offer more and varied afterschool activities. The Community Council wants to express its appreciation to Nan Brown who has offered us a cupboard of our own once expansion is complete. Constantly sharing space with no "home" of our own makes life tricky if not down right difficult on occasion. A special thank you to the Enfield school staff who not only tolerate our programming but actually support us - especially Mrs. Locke and Ginger DeKay-without their support we would have given up long ago. PRESCHOOL A very successful year was completed with a picnic outing at Stewart Park on 6/20/90. Jody Clark and Amy Stillwell did a wonderful job with the children. We hope to lure them back next year with a format similar to this Springs. x +xxx+x+++++xx+++++xxxxx The "business" of the Community Council becomes increasingly year round. The Senior Citizens have again made and donated a gorgeous quilt in earth tones for the Community Council to raffle at the Harvest Festival. The quilt will be on display at the Firemen's Field Days and both senior citizens and members of the Community Council have tickets available for sale at 25t each or 5 for $1.00. We cannot thank the Senior Citizens enough for their generous donation of their time and materials to create this keepsake quilt. The Community Council will again sponsor a thank you luncheon for the Senior Citizens the second Tuesday in August (the 14) • at ACS, 111 Chestnut Street, Ithaca. Entertainment will be provided by summer camp participants. -4- The Harvest FEstival is scheduled for 10/19 and 10/20 this year. Last year's format worked very well. On 10/19, we will again have an auction of new and used merchandise . We are collecting donations new thanks to the generous tolerance of Dave Miller who has given us permission to store items in the old town barn. Brenda Smith is chairing the Auction Committee. If after your garage sale you want something taken away give us a call! Rhonda Connors has volunteered to chair events for 10/20/90. Our thanks to both of them. -�1 L 3, RECYCLING 'P The Town of Enfield is negotiating with Tompkins County to obtain a site here in Enfield that meets the needs of residents and legal requirements of the Town and County.
