Harbor Place would like to invite you to

our monthly Lunch and Learn. This is a

FREE seminar and lunch.

When: Tuesday, April 23rd

Time: 12:00 pm

Where: Rainier Dining Room

Speaker: Chuck Cuzzetto, PenMet Parks

The Peninsula Metropolitan Park District

(PenMet Parks) has announced plans to

develop a new state-of-the-art community

recreation center in Gig Harbor. The

District has entered into a purchase & sale

agreement for the current Performance

Golf on 14th Ave in Gig Harbor.

The Community Recreation Center will

address many local needs including active

space for seniors, programs for special

populations, and indoor recreation

opportunities during the dark and rainy

winter months. Prominent features of the

new facility include over 190,000 square

feet of indoor recreation space,

12 multi-purpose classrooms for

community activities, and both the

longest indoor walking track and largest

event rental space on the Peninsula.

Current timelines list a late-Fall 2019

opening of the existing building, and a

Spring 2020 opening of the air-

supported recreation structure. PenMet

Parks will share project scoop, concept

drawings, and will answer questions!

April Fools' Day is celebrated

on April 1st each year as a

day to play tricks and

practical jokes on others.

This type of custom has

existed since Roman times

when practical jokes were

played on others during a

festival called Hilaria.

April Fools' Day has been

celebrated for many

centuries but its origins are

not known for certain. Some

believe it began in France

when Pope Gregory

replaced the Julian calendar

with the Gregorian calendar

in the Julian calendar month

of April. The day of

introduction of the

Gregorian calendar was

made the first day of

January.

Some people hadn’t heard

about the change in the

date, so they continued to

celebrate the New Year’s

Day, but it being 1st April,

so, others called them

“April fools.”

Today April Fools' Day is

popular in the United

States, Canada, Brazil,

Europe, and Australia.

Upbeat, friendly, and fun

to be around are just a

few characteristics of this

month’s employee of the

month, Andrew. He is

hard working and is

always willing to go above

and beyond to help out.

He has volunteered his

time to help the activity

department as an actor in

a murder mystery dinner.

He has also been willing

April Fools’ Day

to stay for additional shifts

to make sure that there

are enough servers. This

was most recently shown

during the snow storm.

Andrew made sure he

made it for his shifts as

well as called even when

he wasn't scheduled to

make sure there were

enough servers. Thank

you, Andrew, for your

dedication and hard work!
