$5 $10 Swim Lessons: The deadline is this Tuesday! As a reminder, all Kroc members can sign up for a six-week session of basic swim lessons (including Parent & Child, Preschool, Learn-to-Swim Level 1, and Adult Basics) for only $10 before December 18. These classes are starting to fill up, so please encourage people to act quickly.
Christmas Break Day Camp: From the desk of Camp Kroc supervisor Jessica Pollins:
“There will be three days of day camp each of the two weeks of Christmas Break — Dec. 26-28 and Jan. 2-4. Each week is $75 for members, $90 for non-members; or, pay by the day ($26 members, $38 non-members). We will also be offering a special discount for staff of $17 per day per child. Be sure to register by December 21 at the welcome desk.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!”
Toy Deadline Extended: Our Kroc Krew and members have been great in responding to our call for toy donations! But if you still want to brighten the Christmas of a kid in the Grand Rapids area, you can drop toys off at the Welcome Desk through Tuesday the 18th. Thank you!
New Year’s Membership Specials: In addition to our usual $0 registration offer that has been going through December and will continue for January, we are adding a brand-new promotion for membership next month! As part of our “Year of You” campaign, all new members can get six months of membership for the price of five when paying in advance. That means half a year of membership for a single adult would be $190, or a full year only $380!
Les Mills is coming: January will also see us launch Les Mills branded fitness classes on a broader basis (we have done some demo classes already, with great feedback!). The classes will be done with live instructors in some instances, with other classes being offered “virtually” on a new projector installed in Studio B. This will allow us to greatly expand the number and variety of classes we provide our members. It has been a lot of work for the whole fitness department, so be sure to help them spread the word!
Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests! Here are some examples from this week:
- The After School Academy team sends thanks to our new facilities Krew member, Steve, for cleaning up the green room and music room, saving them a lot of time and effort!
