First 5 – Week of June 12, 2023

AQUATICS STAFFING UPDATE: Nate Schragg was recently promoted to an Aquatics lead.  Nate has been with the Kroc Center for just over 1 year. In addition to lifeguarding, he has taught lessons and assisted with pool maintenance. Please congratulate Nate as he steps into this leadership role! 

KROC KREW BBQ DATES: Mark your calendar for our upcoming Backyard BBQs on the following dates: June 22, July 20, and August 17!  All Backyard BBQs will take place from 12-1pm under the fitness floor balcony. We’ll be sure to save some food for the evening staff as well. Thanks to our friends on the EAT Committee for organizing these summer events!

WE’RE IN THE CLOUD: If you typically work with files from the “I Drive,” all that content is in the process of transitioning from the physical server at the Kroc to Microsoft’s cloud file service, Sharepoint. If you have a Salvation Army email account, you can access the new location here: https://sausc.sharepoint.com/sites/GLDGRKroc Note that any shortcuts to files on the I Drive will no longer work once the transition is complete, and edits you make to files during the process may need to be resaved to Sharepoint.

UPCOMING HOLIDAY: Please note that Monday, June 19 is a divisional administrative holiday (Juneteenth), with the Kroc Center remaining open on its regular schedule. 

KROC-STRUCTION: Progress continues on our renovations to upgrade second-floor restrooms to full locker rooms and reconfigure the lobby. Detours around the main entrance doors may continue into this week; keep an eye out for ongoing updates as we do our best to communicate any changes to members.
