First 5 – Week of April 15, 2019

Church at the Kroc: He is Risen! Holy Week gives us a chance to remember the sacrifice that Christ made for our redemption, and to celebrate His resurrection! Easter morning (April 21) will feature a SONrise service at 8am, breakfast at 8:30am, an Easter egg hunt at 9am, and the regular worship at 10am. You are welcome to join us!

Reminder: The Kroc Center is CLOSED for all activities other than church on Easter Sunday.

Spring Program Deadline: The deadline to register for spring classes is this Tuesday, April 16. See the Spring/Summer program guide for listings.

Mother’s Day at the Kroc: This is a new event we are presenting on Saturday, May 11 from 1-6pm. Want an easy way to spend a special day with your family? Bring them to the Kroc Center! Enjoy open swim, climbing wall, family games, and a pizza dinner. Pre-registration is required. Visit the Welcome Desk or GrKrocCenter.org to sign up.

AYSO Begins This Week: Our AYSO region at the Kroc Center will begin practicing this week. We could still use volunteers — please contact Bram Roberts, Katie Deatherage, or Jon Shaner.

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:

  • You all continue to deliver radical hospitality in a big way. Last week, territorial Kroc operations director Bill Rossi called Spring Break ‘the best he has seen a Kroc Center operate during a busy time’, from the welcome shown when guests walked in the door to the care taken in the pool and other rec areas. We also had a ‘secret shopper’ in the building last week to evaluate her experience, and the response was excellent. Great job everyone! – The Leadership Team
