GET TO KNOW YOUR TEENS What do you like about Crew?

Crew has become a place where I feel completely comfortable, and it is a place where I have not felt any judgment from my peers or leaders.

Which is your favorite Crew event?Each month our Youth Leader has a gaming tournament called the Gamer Gauntlet. We have played different styles of video games such as Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers, and Star Wars Battlefront. Students can participate in this tournament and it is fun to play with fellow gamers.

What is your favorite Bible Verse?When his time of service was completed, he returned home. - Luke 1:23

We have chosen to invest our lives and attention in the youth of our church and community to help them journey through their faith and build a strong foundation for their future. In the process, our youth are encouraged to come to grips with who they are in relationship to God and who God wants them to be, as well as living through The Salvation Army mission. Throughout the year we will offer opportunities for involvement including service projects, fund-raisers, youth group trips, youth councils, concerts, movie nights, and numerous other ministry events.

If you are like me then you are ready for summer to be here. I know I am excited for all the great things happening this summer at the Kroc and I hope you are too. We have lots of new programs and events happening this year that we want you all to enjoy. We are continuing with our “Movies Under the Stars”and hope to see you out enjoying these free movies. We also have our Summer Day Camp again this year and it is a great place for your children to enjoy their summer break. This year they will be going on field trips and enjoying the parks in our county. I also want to share with you some of the great NEW events we are having this year. We are having the first ever Foot Golf Scramble, at Brookside Golf Course on June 24th and is great fun for all ages. Immediately after the event we will be having s’mores for all. Finally, we are having a Summer 5k Series that will take place at different parks in Ashland County. These races are open to all and only cost $5. We want to promote a healthy life and want everyone to get a chance to enjoy these great parks that Ashland has to offer. We have many other programs taking place and hope you will take the time to look over our guide and see what interests you.

Community Education


THE SALVATION ARMY KROC CENTER’S PURPOSEIn keeping with the mission and holistic approach of the Salvation Army, The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center provides opportunities that facilitate positive, life-changing experiences through: arts, athletics, personal development, spiritual discovery and community service.

The Salvation Army Kroc Center’s facilities, programs and services bridge the gap between potential and opportunity for children and adults, strengthen individuals and families, and enrich the lives of seniors.

JOAN KROC’S VISIONJoan Kroc said that she took a tour of San Diego and it was then that she recognized a community that was in desperate need of a safe gathering place, a place with facilities and trained professionals to nurture children’s social skills, arts appreciation and athletic potential. She described the Kroc Center as being a beacon of light and hope in the community.

DID YOU KNOW?Joan Kroc, wife of McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc, entrusted The Salvation Army with $87 million to build the first Kroc Center in the Rolando neighborhood of San Diego. Sadly, she passed away a little more than a year after it opened.

She was so pleased with what was accomplished there that she left $1.5 billion to The Salvation Army to build centers like that across the country. Today, there are 26 Kroc Centers open and operational.

Mrs. Kroc’s gift was by far the largest charitable gift ever given to the Army, and the largest single gift given to any single charity at one time.

Our Kroc Center here in Ashland, which opened in April of 2009, was the forth Kroc Center to open.Ray & Joan Kroc
