have been busy restoring, repairing and maintaining its infrastructure, as well as striving to return to pre-pandemic operational normalcy. Major 2021-2022 goals of the Recreation Center were to: • Recover customer base and revenue to 80% of pre-pandemic levels. • Remove pandemic restrictions. • Increase hours of operation by increasing fees. • Complete the upstairs restroom remodel project; and work on the locker room renovation project (which finished in fall 2022). • Resume child care services for Rec Center members. • Resume coffee service, included in the membership.
“The Rec Center is maintained very well. The facilities are top notch.” We thank our customers for their support through participation, and endeavor to survey them in the year 2022-2023. I am very proud of the entire IVGID staff’s perseverance, and the patience and support of our community users during these years of turmoil. We are resilient. Together we will survive and thrive.
