This is a mandatory meeting and staff will get paid.
EVERYONE please RSVP with your supervisor no later than Wednesday, March 6.
Spring Break Day Camp: From Day Camp Coordinator Jessica Pollins… “We are happy to offer childcare (kids ages 5-12, or 13-17 for teen leaders) for Kroc Center staff at a reduced rate for Spring Break week! The dates of Spring Break Camp are April 1-5 from 9am to 4pm and the staff price for the full week is $85.00. Extended care will be offered for no additional cost and will run from 7:30-9am and 4-6pm.
Please register at the Welcome Desk Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. All Kroc Center staff must be registered by WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6th at 5pm. If you do not register by this date, you will not be guaranteed a spot for your child. Thank you and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions!”
GRPS Swim Volunteers: The Aquatics department is in need of volunteers to help with the Grand Rapids Public Schools swim lessons that begin this week; especially monitors for locker rooms as kids get in & out of the pool. Please see Jessica Viau to sign up for times — be aware that an additional volunteer screening is required by GRPS.
AYSO Spring Season Ahead!: AYSO Region 1634, the youth soccer league that plays at the Kroc Center, is gearing up for a new season starting in April. Spring is the biggest season for our league, so we are in need of extra volunteers to be coaches (or assistants), referees, and more. Please see Katie Deatherage, Bram Roberts, or Jon Shaner for more information. If you know kids who may be interested in playing, registration ends on March 10 — go to ayso1634.org to sign up.
Spin Bikes for Sale: In the next few days, the Kroc Center will be receiving our new spin bikes, and we are making our 21 old bikes available for staff for a $50 donation to The Salvation Army’s World Services.
If you are interested, give $50 (cash or check made out to The Salvation Army World Services) to Brent Wilcoxson to reserve your bike. All bikes must be picked up no later than one week following the arrival of the new spin bikes (sometime the week of March 4 – 8). Bikes are first come, first served, one per person.
If you have any questions, please speak with Bram Roberts.
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:
