Friday Dance Party; Help Us Choose a Halloween Theme
Happy Monday!
It’s still summer, but you may have noticed we’re already looking ahead to fall and beyond. Last week, we added a couple of items in the “Mark Your Calendar” section, including a Halloween party (it’s on Saturday this year).
We’ll have more details in the weeks ahead, but we need a little help choosing a theme. Some early suggestions include classic television characters, monster movies, classic Nintendo, Disney, games (or Clue, specifically), and Tim Burton films. Have a suggestion that would make for a fun costume contest? Let us know. We’ll make a list and put it to a vote.
A reminder: We are no longer using the Nexudus membership software, so there should be no new invoices coming through the old system. Please reach out if there are any issues with the transition.
Our hours this week:
Monday August 10: 7am-6pm
Tuesday August 11: 7am-6pm
Wednesday August 12: 7am-8pm
Thursday August 13: 7am-8pm
Friday August 14: 7am-5pm
