Thank You, Ben!

We're saying a heartfelt farewell to our Operations Assistant & Front Desk staff member, Ben Jones, who is moving on after three years at NECC.

Ben has been an essential part of keeping things running smoothly at the center — from supporting group fitness classes and swim lessons to helping youth programs stay on track.

His steady presence, organizational skills, and warm smile at the front desk made a lasting impression on members and staff alike. He’ll be missed — and we wish him all the best in his next chapter!

Reminder: Membership Dues Change as of Sept. 1



As of September 1, 2025, our membership monthly dues have increased. Our decision to increase membership dues is part of a broader effort to secure the NECC’s long-term financial stability and ensure the center remains a community asset for years to come. To read the full letter we sent, click here.

Insurance-Based Memberships

Our membership dues increase will not affect insurance-based memberships. We want to take a moment and thank our insurance-based members who make monthly donations to bridge the gap between what insurance providers reimburse and the actual cost of membership. Your generosity helps maintain our facilities and support the classes you enjoy.

If you are interested in increasing your monthly donation to help us close this gap, please contact our Front Desk at frontdesk@necommmunitycenter.org.
