Mother’s Day at the Kroc: This is a new event we are presenting this 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.
MOD Changes: As you should now be aware, due to the ever changing needs of the Kroc Center we have made a change to our Manager on Duty (MOD) scheduling and responsibilities. Beginning this month, managers, directors and other full-time Kroc staff will serve in the MOD capacity every weekday evening as well as on weekends. This change is meant to give the facilities staff (mainly Albert and Paul) the freedom and additional time to accomplish their facility responsibilities. Your patience is appreciated as we work out any remaining kinks in the schedule; please see Bram Roberts or Captain Bill with any questions.
Summer Pass on Sale: Can you believe summer is almost here? The Kroc Center offers a special summer pass for those who want to take advantage of the pool, fitness center, and the rest of the Kroc from May through August. There are options for adults, teens, and families — see the posted materials, or speak with the Membership team for more information.
Share the Love: Kroc Center members and staff are encouraged to pick up one of our (sort of) new window decals at the Welcome Desk, or see Jon Shaner for one. Feel free to give them to members – they are removable and are great for car windows or bumpers!
National Salvation Army Week: Did you know that there’s an entire week dedicated to The Salvation Army? It’s the second full week of May, which means it’s coming up next week! National Salvation Army Week was first declared by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954. This would be a great time to check out all the amazing work The Salvation Army does both here in the United States and around the world. A good place to start is the World Service Office… visit http://sawso.com/sawso/.
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:
- “New Employees Megan and Rosie are both doing a great job. Megan was already doing check-in in the Game Room with Kevin’s assistance, and Rosie was working on perfecting her tour with Joselyn’s guidance. Great Teamwork!”
- “Adonys helped a young boy in the parking lot to ensure he got to his car with his mother safely. It was good looking out!”
