PROGRAMS UPDATE (ROSALIND ROBINSON, COMMISSIONER) |
|
Commissioner Rosalind Robinson provided an update on the programs at Goodyear Recreation Center. In November, the center hosted a successful Veteran's Day event, which had a wonderful turnout. In December, the Origami event, led by Commissioner Kyoko Iwaska and Dalton Attig, received spectacular feedback from participants, highlighting the event's success and positive impact on the community. Pop-up events are hosted every third Wednesday of the month at the Goodyear Recreation Center. These events allow participants to learn new crafts, relax, and socialize with friends, and make new connections within the community. In 2025, upcoming events and ideas will include bringing in outside artists to teach classes and, offering unique learning opportunities for the community. There will also be a strong focus on spreading awareness of Goodyear's programs to ensure more people can participate and benefit from the offerings at the Recreation Center. |
