                      HOW TO WATCH A GOOD PROGRAM BE ELIMINATED
 Nothing kills a recreation program faster than residents who wait until the last minute to register.
 There is a point when a program must be cancelled or modified if there is insufficient registration. All
 programs require a high level of coordination, often including facility scheduling, staffing, volunteer
 recruitment and purchasing of supplies.

                                   PLEASE REGISTER EARLY.

                                                                                                            3
