The Employee Appreciation Taskforce invites you to bring your best batch of chili and your appetite to the fifth-annual Kroc Krew Chili Cook Off this Thursday, January 31st from 12–1 PM in Fireside C. We’ll serve the house chili again for the night staff from 6–7 PM.
We’ll have three different categories: Best Traditional Chili, Best Non-Traditional Chili (chicken chili, vegetarian, etc.) and Best Chili Name.
Can’t cook? No problem! We’ll have plenty of chili for everyone, so come and taste the entries! Toppings will be provided.
Please send an email to Julie_Taggart@usc.salvationarmy.org if you plan on submitting a chili. Hope to see you all there!
Kroc Krew, Parlez-vous? In order to provide the best possible customer service to our guests, we want to maintain a list of all the Kroc Krew members who can communicate in another language. Whether it is Spanish, French, American Sign Language, or anything else, please let your supervisor know what skills you have. You never know when it may come in handy!
Winter Programs: Registration for Winter 2 is open… don’t forget that Kroc Center members can take basic swim lessons for as little as $5 per person when signing up before the early bird deadline!
GR Drive Basketball Clinics: If you know a boy or girl ages 7-14 who would like to participate in a free basketball clinic with the Grand Rapids Drive at the Kroc Center, the next dates will be Monday, February 11 and Monday, March 11 from 6-8pm. Registration is open to give Kroc Krew families a head start — the clinics won’t be promoted to the public for another week or two. NOTE: Because space is limited, please do NOT sign up kids who participated in the November clinic.
Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests! Here are some examples from the past week:
