First 5 – Week of June 3, 2024

EMPLOYEE REFERRAL PROGRAM: Now through the end of June, we are reinstating our employee referral bonus program — current Kroc Krew members can get $200 for referring someone new (assuming they are hired and work a minimum amount in their first 90 days). You must use the ADP portal to make the referral; please see Melissa Roemer if you have any questions.

REFER-A-FRIEND: Don’t forget that members can also receive a free month by recommending a friend to join the Kroc Center during the month of June. Spread the word! See the Welcome Desk or the membership page at GrKrocCenter.org for additional details.

SUMMER 1 PROGRAM SESSION: This is the first week of the Summer 1 program session. Please be sure to refer to the new Drop-In Recreation Guide for updated schedules — the pool schedule is changing quite a bit to accommodate day camp. Summer 2 program guides will be available this week, with registration opening on June 17th.

CAMP KROC REGISTRATION: As we continue to hire and train more counselors, the Camp Kroc team has been able to extend Week 1 registration through Monday, June 3. Note that registration for Week 2 will close on Wednesday, June 5. Please see Alyson Rodriguez with any day camp questions.

STORYTIME IN THE PARK: On Tuesday, June 18, the Kroc Center will be volunteering for the Storytime in the Park program in Garfield Park, from roughly 5:30-8:00pm. We are in need of about 10-12 volunteers to hand out books and ice cream, distribute Kroc information, and other tasks. This would be an unpaid volunteer activity–if you are interested, please contact Jon Shaner.

OPEN POSITIONS: Visit the Central Territory’s ADP Recruitment system for all job postings and to submit applications online. We appreciate you sharing opportunities with friends and family! Current openings include: Fitness Attendant, Lifeguard, Youth Ministry and Mission Specialist, Building Supervisor (PT), Child Watch Attendant, Summer Day Camp Counselor (FT), Summer Day Camp Counselor (PT), Personal Trainer.


Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests!

  • Thanks to everyone, especially the Aquatics team, who pitched in with the large school groups over the past two weeks.

Here are some of the upcoming events and groups at the Kroc Center: 

  • Brookside graduation – Monday, 8-11am, WPAC/Amphitheater

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 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.

  • None submitted this week

Be sure to wish a Happy Birthday to our Kroc Krew colleagues: 

  • Karine Jamet – June 7
