NOTE: Due to the holiday week, there will be no First 5 next week.
New Event! Because we aren’t holding the Family Fun & Fitness Nights this summer, and because National Night Out is moving to Garfield Park, we’re going to be holding a one-night “Kroc Block Party” on Friday, August 16 from 5:30-8:30pm. Watch for more information coming soon!
Upcoming Kroc Krew events: Please mark Sunday, July 14 at 5 PM on your calendar for the Kroc Krew Summer Family Picnic. Information is posted in each department about this fun event. We’ll also be holding staff cookouts in the maintenance building on the following Thursdays this summer from 12-1 PM: July 18 and August 15.
New! Member success board: You may remember this as Tabi’s winning “Kroc Tank” idea from last fall. Our magnetic board is now mounted just inside the check-in gates, and we’re putting together materials for display. The goal is to make the board a communal experience, encouraging members and employees to post anything interesting in their lives… maybe a picture of their child from the newspaper, a note about a fitness goal they achieved, etc. We will also post the “Kroc Stories” we produce internally about the amazing things happening here every day. Think of it sort of like a non-digital form of social media… instead of Facebook, it’s our “Facewall”! If you have additional ideas for how we can use this space, please speak with Tabi or the marketing team.
Email address changes: Be aware that all Salvation Army email addresses have been changed! Individuals who had an underscore between their first & last names, i.e. Jon_Shaner@usc.salvationarmy.org, now have a dot between the names: Jon.Shaner@usc.salvationarmy.org. Both addresses will work during a transition period, but we will be changing over things like business cards, printed materials, etc. over the next couple of months. Thanks for your help in notifying your contacts of the switch.
Reminder: The Kroc Center is CLOSED on Thursday, July 4. We are open regular hours on Friday, July 5; however, the senior drop-in room will not be available.
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:
