KROC-STRUCTION: We were notified yesterday by our contractors that a supply issue will now delay the opening of the second-floor locker rooms until at least August 8. The lockers themselves will not be installed until September, so even after opening, guests will need to use the lockers in the hallway near the track entrance. Progress continues on the first-floor membership offices as well.
MAINTENANCE WEEK SHUTDOWN: As a reminder, the Kroc Center will be closed to the public for our annual maintenance week September 11-17. Communication was already shared as part of an email to members, but we will start posting reminders around the building over the next couple of weeks. As always, we will need extra help in deep-cleaning the Aquatics Center and other areas of the building, so please be watching for communication from your supervisor about projects in your department and the possibility of picking up hours elsewhere as well!
AYSO FALL REGISTRATION: Registration is open for the fall season of AYSO until August 13th. Players will learn about good sportsmanship, make new friends, and develop their soccer skills in this eight-week league. Registration is available online at ayso1634.org.
KROC KREW SUMMER BBQ: Mark your calendar for the final event of the summer on Thursday, August 17 from 12-1pm under the fitness floor balcony. We’ll be sure to save some food for the evening staff as well.
READING IS FUNDAMENTAL: If you are reading this, see Jon Shaner by Thursday, August 3 and tell him the code phrase, “Where is my hairbrush?” to receive a coupon for one free attraction at Craig’s Cruisers. [One per person, giveaway not officially sponsored by the Kroc Center]

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 Music 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.
