RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2008-291, accepting a donation of seven hundred fifty-three dollars
($753) in support of the Special Events Program and directing the Finance Director to
appropriate the received funds.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On Saturday, August 2nd, the Recreation Department partnered with Time Warner's
Moonlight Movies to host the Family Movie Night special event at Poinsettia Park. There was
an estimated attendance of over 750 participants.
The event started with three hours of passive activities; including crafts, face painting,
carnival games, and listening to music provided by a "D.J." Both supervised and
unsupervised activities were also available prior to the movie including romping in two
bounce houses, kicking around giant soccer balls in the field, a giant blow-up basket ball
hoop for games, and family relays.
Vendors were invited to be at the event and provided food, snacks and beverages for sale to
the numerous families that came early to spread out their blankets or set up their chairs for
an outdoor viewing of "Shrek the Third" later that evening.
Time Warner Cable, our partner, hosted a spinning wheel that included a variety of prizes
that were given away. Two hundred fifty-three dollars ($253) was earned from the "$1 a
Spin" opportunity that was donated to benefit Recreations Special Events Program. Later that
evening, Time Warner Cable increased those proceeds by making an additional donation of
$500 bringing the total donation to seven hundred fifty-three ($753) for the Recreation
Special Events Program.
On Monday, September 15, 2008, the Park and Recreation Commission received the above
donations and recommended acceptance by the City Council.
A letter of appreciation has been sent on behalf of the Recreation Department and the City of
Carlsbad to Time Warner Cable.
