Membership Dues Increasing Sept. 1



Starting September 1, 2025, our membership monthly dues are increasing. 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 last week, 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.

New Weekend Hours

Coming Soon!

We're excited to announce that starting September 6th, we are extending our weekend hours to 7 am-5 pm, Saturdays & Sundays.

Stay tuned for weekend program information!

End of Summer Closure

Aug. 25 - Sept. 1

Each year, in order to maintain our excellent water quality, we close the pool at the end of August to drain and refill it.

Continuing the tradition from the last three summers, this year we will be utilizing this period to both service the pool and provide our staff with a well-deserved break by fully shutting down the center.

The NECC facility will be closed from August 25th to September 1st.

We truly appreciate your support and understanding.
