Lts. Bill & Taylor Brutto are looking for feedback from the Kroc Krew — Please go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/88KTCZZ to start the quick anonymous survey. If that link is too hard to remember, we’ve added a direct link from the homepage at GrKrocCenter.tv.
Registration is underway for our Fall II program session. Please make sure our members understand that this is their LAST CHANCE to take advantage of the “share your discount” benefit and special pricing on many youth programs.
RJ Kroc’s Mini Mash is coming up next week, Tuesday, October 24, during Toddler Tuesday. Little ones will have a chance to ‘trick-or-treat’ around the building, so don’t be surprised to see kids in places you wouldn’t normally expect. Make sure a parent is nearby, and be extra-friendly on this special day!
Please keep talking up Monster Mash on Friday, October 27. We still have room for several more trunk-or-treat participants, so if you know of another organization or business who would like to participate, you can direct them to the Events page at GrKrocCenter.org to download the form.
A few reminders:
– The event is 5:00 – 7:00PM. Set up will begin at 4:30PM.
– Talk to your supervisor to see if your department is decorating its own trunk.
– The Kroc Center will provide the candy.
– It doesn’t have to be a trunk! Last year we had various themes such as Cinderella’s Castle, Retro Fitness with Richard Simmons, and Ice Cream Shoppe!
– If you are looking for art supplies you are welcome to consult with Megan Lougheed, however please do not take any art supplies from the art room without asking.
Thanks to those who have already made a contribution to Casual for a Cause. If you want to wear jeans to work on Fridays, here’s what you can do:
- Make a contribution at the Welcome Desk for the privilege of wearing jeans to work on Fridays (with a Kroc shirt)… $2 per week, $5 per month, or $50 for the whole year!
- Coming soon… buy a special Casual for a Cause shirt (good to have more Kroc shirt options on Fridays) and proceeds will also go to World Services.
Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests! Here’s an example from this week:
- “One of our senior members stopped at the Welcome Desk to express how thankful she was for the Kroc Center and our staff. She expressed that we had one of the nicest facilities in the country. Another senior member brought two of her friends in for a tour because she was so proud to be a member of the Kroc Center. Both of her friends qualified for Silver & Fit and signed up for a membership.”
