Kroc Krew Thanksgiving: Our Thanksgiving pot luck is this week! Mark your calendars for Thursday, November 15th from 12–1 PM (we’ll also have food available in the evening for those who work at night). Turkey, mashed potatoes, and rolls will be provided. Department side dish assignments are…
- Child Watch, Facilities, and Congregational Life – Desserts

Membership, Business, and Marketing – Salads and appetizers (think vegetable trays, fruit salad, jello salad, 7 layer salad, cheese and crackers, spinach dip etc)
-
Programs and Education – Thanksgiving staples (stuffing, cranberries, green bean casserole, sweet potato)
It’s Kettle Season! The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign is underway. The Kroc Center is responsible for managing all Kent County south of 28th Street, and it’s important that we get as many volunteers signed up to ring as possible. Please consider giving two hours to take a shift; it’s also a great activity for kids and families to help share more than gifts at Christmas. Speak with Melissa Roemer or Denise Gorsline for more information.
Fine Arts Materials: As the Fine Arts Department begins to gain momentum, the Kroc has many people using the art room. This is fantastic! However, if you need to use or borrow something from the Art Room, please make sure to sign it out and back in when you are done. There is a sign-out sheet in a red binder on the counter. This will help keep track of any items that are needed for programming. Thank you!
New Members: You may encounter new members around the building as part of our new school partnership programs. 7th graders at three GRPS middle schools (Ford, Burton, and Alger) are eligible for free teen memberships when they meet attendance expectations; families involved in the FitKids program at Godfrey Elementary are eligible for free membership as well during the school year. If you know anyone who may qualify under these programs, encourage them to take advantage of their membership. We’ve started enrolling the first few people over the last week. Please make all these new folks feel welcome at the Kroc!
Winter Program Registration: Monday, November 12 is the first day of winter program registration. The new program guide is now available on GrKrocCenter.org, and print copies will be delivered soon. Please make yourself familiar with some of the new programs we are offering, as well as the amazing $5 special we are running for members on introductory swim lessons.
Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests! Here are some examples from this week:
- Dannielle had her pop-up table on the fitness floor to show our members appreciation. The members appreciated the gift and interactions with Dannielle. They learned about the Kroc Travel Pass and shared why they love the Kroc Center.
- Laura had her pop up table set up for Toddler Tuesday and had a very positive response from all of the families that came through the gym. Great job hospitality team!
- From Heidi & the Molina Healthcare team after the Nov. 3 coat drive: “Thanks to the Kroc for being the most gracious and supportive hosts. Your venue and your team was perfect!”
- Special thanks from the Facilities department to everyone for the super clean up after the coat drive…. everybody gets a high five!
