The Youth Soccer Board is responsible for a wide variety of duties, and each and every member of the board takes on one or more specific duties. The boards meets from now through the end of the fall soccer season, though there is no set schedule. Any area person interested in serving on the board is asked to contact Dick Writt at the Park and Recreation Department office at 823-7660. Drew Lundt, Amie Kendl, Laurie Vollrath and Dick Writt are returning to the board for the 2010 season.

Organizers of the city's Easter Egg Hunt, scheduled for Saturday April 3rd at Bucholtz Park are still in need of assistance to put the event on this year. Once again the Park and Recreation Department is organizing the event.
In past years as many as 500-600 area youth have taken part in the event, although in recent years the numbers have been more in the 200-300 range, with 275 taking part in 2009.
The department is still seeking monetary donations to purchase prizes, items to be used as prizes, plastic bags to put the prizes in, as well as volunteers to help with various aspects of the event. Businesses, organizations and individuals interested in helping out are asked to contact Dick Writt at the Park and Recreation Department 823-7660.

On Saturday April 3rd, two hunt times have been set up - 10 am for those youth 5 and under and 10:30 for youth 6-10 years of age. 1000 plastic eggs will be hidden in the park. Each egg when found and turned in will entitle the youth to a special prize. The number of eggs that each child can find and turn in will be limited. Any child not finding at least one egg (which is highly unlikely) will still receive a prize.

The Easter Bunny will be making a special appearance at the Easter Egg Hunt once again this year, and it is hoped that several other friends of the Easter Bunny will be present as well.

Brei's Hillside Farms maintained their first place position in the league with a hard fought overtime victory over Steinke Auto 71-69. Tied at 59 at the end of regulation, the overtime period was pretty much even as well, with Brei's able to eke out the 2 point victory. Matt Brunner led Brei's with 19 points, including five 3 point field goals. Curt Brei chipped in with 17. Tom Colla's 16 points led the eight Steinke Auto players who scored.
The Jeff Schultz team played a tight game in the first half against the Ryan Smith team and was down just 3 at halftime 32-29. However, the second half was a totally different story as the Smith team blitzed Schultz to post a 64-47 victory. Three Smith players scored 11 points to lead the way, Zach Schroeder, Riley Knapp and Dustin Krueger. David Carlsen with 13 point led Schultz's.
