The type of thing we are talking about is class reunion, basketball pratiee Alidjani: Basketball pratice on a regular basis, at seasonable times, like maybe a couple of months in the siumuer time, Mr. Hal .Hatch approached me last year that k~e would like to hold pratice on two days a week basis. There is a lady that would like to rent it for Monday & Wednesday and if it is ok Saturday for two hours at a time for exercise class, I wanted to visit with the Council to see if this type of use would be alright. We would like to be able to utilize that space for several activities that might happen in the future and it could be ongoing, right now it is seasonal, in the siamtier time only, Mr. Hatch was talking about every other day for two hours for two to three months. Basically it would be a sports event.
