ALL STAFF MEETING: We are planning for our first All-Staff Meeting in more than two years! The date is set for Sunday, October 22 from 5-6pm. The meeting will be followed by a complimentary dinner and time to socialize. This meeting is considered mandatory for all employees, regardless of status or schedules, and everyone attending will be paid for the length of the meeting. If you are unable to attend, you must contact your supervisor to be excused. Please see Major Carol, Luke Bronkema, or Melissa Roemer with any questions.
AQUATICS SCHEDULES: As we continue to work through staffing challenges, the aquatics schedule is still being updated on a week-by-week basis. Please make note that this week’s schedule is different than the previous one, and we will continue working to open up more swim times as the Fall 1 session progresses.
FALL 2 PROGRAM GUIDES: Check out the new Fall 2 program guide which is now available in the building and online. Please note that registration for these programs will open on Monday, October 2.
MONSTER MASH: It’s almost time for Monster Mash! Our annual Halloween trunk-or-treat event will take place on Saturday, October 27 from 5-7pm in the East parking lot. If you have a connection with an organization that would like to come and hand out candy or other goodies at the event, you are welcome to send them to this form to sign up.
KROC LEADERSHIP SUMMIT: A group of Kroc Center officers, directors, and support staff from around the Central Territory will be in the building this week Tuesday through Thursday. Most of their meetings will be in the Fireside Hall, but they will also have member-level access to all recreational areas, etc. Please be sure to bring your customer-service “A-game” for this set of VIPs!
