First 5 – Week of February 11, 2019

Day Pass & Membership Rate Change: As of February 15, all day pass prices will be increasing by $1. This is the first day pass rate change since 2011. In March, single adult membership rates will also increase by $2 per month. Information about the details and reasons for these increases will be sent to all departments for reference. Please read over this document so we are better able to answer questions from members and guests.

LAST CHANCE – $5 Swim Lessons: This Tuesday, February 12 is the last time Kroc members will be able to get six weeks of basic swim lessons for only $5 during the winter 2 session! Prices increase to $10 for the remaining week of registration, which ends on the 19th.

Toddler Tuesday Program Preview: Speaking of the Winter 2 program deadline, next Tuesday the 19th will be an opportunity for families to sample several programs especially for little ones and sign up. This event is free for members; while day pass prices are increasing, an adult can still get in free with each paid child admission ($6.50).

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! NOTE to managers: Only two departments have completed this so far… please compile your staff’s skills and input them in the Word file in I:\MASTER PDFs.

Camp Kroc Registration: Our 2019 Summer Camp Guide is here! Copies are available in each department and will be put out for the public soon so registration can begin. There are a lot of cool new specialty camps and other changes — please grab a guide and make yourself familiar with what we are offering this summer.

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:

  • “Joselyn was amazing [Monday] night. She was training a new staff member, giving tours in Spanish, assuring the safety of guests and staying calm through the rushes! Great customer service and teamwork!”

  • “The child watch team handled an incident with care and sensitivity. They were great under pressure and assured everyone was safe. Kudos to the whole team for their efforts and endurance.”
