Auburn Adult City Rec making pandemic recovery?

Winners of the adult co-ed volleyball league were:  Team Graham and Team Bowers

AUBURN -  Auburn Adult City Recreation is hoping to make a pandemic recovery, but the committee has not been able to meet recently and city officials say its status is unknown.

The community organization sponsors the Auburn Olympics, which began in 2014 with 84 participants and 12 volunteer organizers.

Codi Sailors of the adult rec committee said some events were canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, but the Auburn Olympics returned in 2021 with an Auburn Arts and Events activity.

Although committee members have not been able to meet like normal, community support for adult recreation continues to encourage Sailors. She said it seems every year new teams register.

Appointments to the adult city recreation committee have been delayed.

Up for appointment at Monday's meeting were Jenna Henrichs, Maria Buitrago-Hudson,Chantelle Wilke,Jamie Aue, Casie Allen, Codi Sailors, Cori Rademacher, Jennifer Hawley, Katy Billings, Logan Merz, Lynsey Schmidt, Megan Bergmier and Cassie Greene.

Sailors said the committee has not had a quorum at recent attempts at meetings and the list at Monday's meeting was whoever was on last year's committee.

Auburn Adult City Recreation recently sponsored a Sunday co-ed volleyball league, sand volleyball tournament, Monsta Bash co-ed softball tournament and 3 on 3 basketball.

The community Olympics are sponsored each summer that includes water polo, homerun derby, flag football, disc golf and tug of war.
