Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests! Here are some examples observed recently:

  • From a recent program survey: “We were so grateful to have Ms. Vicky for swim. Calvin is an anxious child and I miscalculated how he would do getting back to swim lessons. Vicky was so patient with him and helped get us in touch with the right people to get him set up for private lessons. We are just so grateful for the Kroc Center!”
  • Albert Montiel and Eddie Acker fixing the pool during off hours Sunday after the storm-related power outage caused the water level to drop.
