ALL-STAFF MEETING: The next all-staff meeting will be on Sunday, March 10 at 4:30PM. A light meal will be provided following the meeting. We will be reviewing the updated employee dress code, among other topics. This meeting is considered mandatory, so you need to be excused by your supervisor if you are unable to attend.
CAMP KROC REGISTRATION: Alyson Rodriguez, along with the rest of the program and marketing teams, are racing to get the 2024 Summer Day Camp Guide published as soon as possible – we’re using a new system this year to manage camper forms and paperwork, and the back end of it is still being set up. Our goal is to be able to open registration this Friday, March 1. Stay tuned for more information!
49507 FAMILY WELLNESS FAIR: Our entire community is invited to the Kroc Center on Saturday, March 9 from 12-4 PM for the 49507 Family Wellness Fair, in partnership with Seeds of Promise. This event is designed to connect neighbors with targeted resources to improve their health and address racial and socioeconomic disparities in the Grand Rapids area. We’ll have fitness demo classes, resident conversations, and 20+ vendor tables. Make sure to spread the word!
SPRING BREAK AHEAD: The planning process is underway for Spring Break, April 1-5. As usual for one of the busiest weeks of the year at the Kroc Center, we will be offering an array of additional activities for families to enjoy. Supervisors should be working on employee schedules as soon as possible; please be sure to provide as much availability as you can, as there may be opportunities to pick up additional hours.

Each week, members of the Kroc Center and Kroc Church submit a number of requests for prayer. We welcome these from everyone in our community, and encourage all our Kroc Krew to lift up these requests in your own way. Don’t forget that you are always welcome to attend devotions on Tuesday mornings at 9am (currently in the Green Room); if you have a prayer request to share, you can post it on the board in the lobby, use the online form, or contact a member of the Kroc Church team.
