The month of June signals fertilization and aeration for all Carlsbad athletic fields. Crews
will be out propping the fields to produce a beautiful tint of green as fall sports approach.
Senior Citizens Center
The Senior Center held a Rubber Stamp Workshop on June 8. Fifteen people learned
the techniques of this new paper art and took home their own custom designed
bookmarks and greeting cards.
On June 12 a mini-bus took 18 seniors to the Museum of San Diego History and then for
a picnic lunch in Balboa Park. After lunch everyone had free time to enjoy the sights and
sounds of Balboa Park which included a native American Indian festival featuring
costumes and dances.
The Seniors are hosting a Senior Amateur Contest on June 16th. They will be singing
and dancing to everything from Broadway Show Tunes to original pieces of music. There
will be prizes donated from See's Candy awarded to 1st and 2nd place winners in each
category.
A Western Days Barbecue lunch is planned for July 2nd, and on July 11 the Seniors are
holding their Annual Ice Cream Social at 1:30 p.m. in Magee Park.

Robin Bettin forwards the information that June 14 was the re-opening of Stagecoach
Park's gym and activity room. These facilities were recently refinished and look bright
and shiny with their new summer coats.
Gian Lauro recently orchestra* 1 the Heritage Hall Plaque Dedication Ceremony. In
attendance were a number Jfty officials as well as Carlsbad Historical Society
members. Kudos to Gian for a job well done!
Gail Watts was an integral part of the just completed "Country Affair." The event was held
at Holiday Park and nearly 50 groups staged booths at the park. Thousands of people
were treated to a day of entertainment, food, and crafts in this event whose proceeds
benefited the Carlsbad Boys' and Girls' Club and the Carlsbad Girls' Club.
One final note that excites the department is the promotion of Jill Prichard to Recreation
Supervisor I. Jill has worked long and hard to make our Annual Triathlon a resounding
success. Congratulations to Jill!
