Mario consistently demonstrates excellent communication and is always willing to go the extra mile to support the team.

Michelle (Marketing) has been an integral part of the M&C team since joining a month ago. In that short time, she has made a strong impact by capturing key moments at events and programs, and actively participating in outreach efforts. Her dedication stands out. She consistently steps up to come in during off hours to ensure nothing is missed, and her work beautifully reflects the energy and spirit of summer. Her initiative and enthusiasm have been exceptional.

After several successful seasons as an Art Camp Leader, Veronica brought her creativity and leadership to Sports Camp this year. She is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment that welcomes campers of all athletic abilities and backgrounds.

Week 8

Congratulations to Finlay for being named this week’s Employee of the Week!
Finlay has been an outstanding addition to the Fitness Center. Just this past week, he stepped up multiple times to cover shifts with less than two hours’ notice—a true testament to his reliability and team-first attitude. He’s also made a positive impression on members, receiving several compliments for his great taste in music and for creating an upbeat, welcoming environment. Impressively, he’s already learned the names of many regulars during his shifts, which speaks volumes about his attentiveness and people skills.
