RecreationandParkCommission | 2021-04-08 | 5 | EXHIBIT 1 04/08/2021 ARPD Director's Report Presented by Recreation and Park Director Amy Wooldridge Recreation Services The Alameda Youth Committee - a youth leadership development group - is beginning to meet in person and they are hosting an online fundraiser for the Alameda Food Bank from 4/19 - 5/23. Info about the fundraiser will be published in the Alameda Sun with a QR code for people to scan and donate directly. Friends Connect - a social group for teens with developmental disabilities - and AYC have traded numerous pen pal letters back and forth during the pandemic. The exchange has been really enjoyable for both groups. Friends Connect is meeting in person for the first time this school year and taking a walk from Chochenyo Park to Alameda Beach. The State COVID-19 child care guidelines were recently revised and there is no longer a maximum cap on the number of children allowed in each cohort. Subsequently, ARPD added spaces for the Spring Vacation camp (kindergarten through 5th grade) at Leydecker, Lincoln and Washington Parks. To celebrate Earth Day in 2021, the City of Alameda and its partners have created an interactive virtual website celebrating Earth Day. The fun starts April 19th, as the website will launch prior to Earth Day on April 22nd. We will also host a volunteer tree planting event at Krusi Park on Sat., April 24th. Registration is required with information coming soon. The 2021 Summer Supplemental Guide will be available mid-April, with the next installment of special interest classes, camps, and local events. Registration has been open for ARPD's Summer Preschool/Camp, WOW, Day Camp, Tween Adventure Camp, and Aquatics programs. Some sites are full and space is filling quickly! Interviewing for Summer Recreation Leaders will begin soon, and interested individuals can apply NOW through the ARPD's website, under the Employment tab. ARPD is the place to be this summer! Picnic areas are now available to rent online The adult softball league is starting with registration available as of April 16. Mastick Senior Center We are now offering an in person, outdoor Line Dancing class and outdoor Hula class. Mastick is working to create outdoor classrooms to host more of these classes.

The front walkway improvement project will also be underway soon. AARP Tax-Aide Program has been extended through May 11. Starting next week, four counselors will be onsite processing taxes in real time while clients wait in their car or outdoors. Safety protocols are in place.
