Life springs is moving in this week or next week so they will start services soon. Ricki- I've been working on inserting payments and invoices in the system, we are having a lot of rentals due to graduation parties. And a lot of referrals due to the parties. We have softball going on right now and football around the corner. Dave- Presented a City Partnership snapshot that shows to date $1,406,728.40 in funds committed to date from sponsors.

And John Jones sponsors the Jeff Goes Country this year. Olivia- We started a ukulele class and we have six people so that's a great start. The aquatic center has been hit and miss due to the weather but hopefully the weather gets better and we can have a great season. We had our first concert scheduled but had to reschedule due to rain but we are planning to reschedule. Donnie- I would like to thank these people as they have more success the more work we have to do. We are fighting the river again. You can see any pavement at the Wharf due to the flood mess. We are planning for the Riverstage to come back on Wednesday at 2:00 unless we have any issues with the weather so we are ready for the Friday night concert. Paul- Green space is keeping busy, half is doing a lot of landscaping, they have been at the Envision Center getting it look great. The other half of the guys are mowing as that is a constant job. The Envision Center we talked about signs at certain doors but should be put a sign on every door? Bill Burns stated that we have four partners at Envison that make the four pillars of opportunity with Ivy tech, First Savings, HUD and Life Springs. The hard work floors are being cleaned tomorrow and the tile is being done before the grand opening which are hoping for July 16th at 5:30pm. We have 60 kids at camp this year and we have 30 kids on the waitlist so we are really happy with the turnout. At Duffy's we finished the walk that connects the loop, we are looking to hire someone that can spread the dirt when it's wet as we can't and it's been raining constantly.
