From the EAT Committee: To celebrate the upcoming Michigan vs. Michigan State game, support your favorite college team! Wear your team’s jersey or shirt with jeans on Wednesday, November 13.
Kroc Krew Thanksgiving: Our annual Kroc Krew Thanksgiving potluck will be Thursday, November 21. Turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy will be provided. Watch this week for a signup sheet in your department to bring a dish to pass. We’ll have a midday feast around 12pm for daytime staff, and an evening feast around 6pm for those working later.
Drivers Needed: We need drivers for the kettle season to drop off and pick up bell ringers/ kettles. If you are a part-time employee willing to pick up hours during the months of November and December, please follow these instructions:
1. Have a conversation with your supervisor to make sure that the scheduling can work. Make sure you are not double booking your schedule.
2. You would be paid your regular hourly rate.
3. You need to obtain a chauffeur license (not a CDL – see this link for details. The Kroc will pay the fee for you.)
4. Once you get approval from your supervisor, see Melissa Roemer for scheduling.
We need two drivers each scheduled day through November 24th. We would need three drivers each scheduled day from November 25th – December 24th. The shifts would be from 1:30pm-3:30pm and 6:30pm -8:30pm each scheduled day. Thanks for your consideration!
Les Mills Challenge! Our Les Mills Challenge is still open for ALL Kroc Center members! Here’s how it works: Pick up a punch card at the Fitness Desk or Welcome Desk, and then take at least one session of BODYPUMP, CXWORX, Sprint, and a virtual class of your choice. Everyone who completes their punch card will be entered to win gift cards and other prizes! See Cheryl Floyd or Bram Roberts with any questions.
Special Congratulations: Did you know that Kroc lifeguard Rachel Tuit recently received her private pilot’s license? She passed her checkride (like a driver’s test in an airplane) on October 17. Rachel says the first person she took up as a passenger was her grandpa :-). Great job, Rachel!
Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests! Here are some examples from the past week:
- “Great job to the fitness staff (specifically Cheryl, Nancy, Anita, Annalise, Carl, Patrick, Victoria, Heidi, and Alicia) who came into deep clean the free weight area on Sunday night!”
- “Eddie and Crystal working together to put the lap lanes in the pool when the pool was short-staffed in the afternoon. Great example of teamwork! You are both appreciated for always going above and beyond.”
- “Great job by all of the Childwatch staff with the need to relocate to the Green Room and with the check in being moved to the infant side. The all worked together as a team and there were no unhappy parents.”
- “Thanks to Ron McMillen who stayed well past closing time due to an event Thursday night, then turned right back around and arrived at 6am for the next group Friday morning!”
