NECC News: September 2023
🍂 September is almost here! It's time for cozy vibes, rustling leaves, and the comeback of our awesome fall schedule. As we bid farewell to the sun-soaked days of summer, we're gearing up for an exciting transition to our fall schedule, facility upgrades, and welcoming our After School Time and Swim Lesson families. Check out below to stay in the know!
Upcoming Dates: 
  • Pool Closure Begins at 4pm on August 25
  • Facility Closure & Staff Break, August 28 - September 4
  • Men's Locker Room Closed, August 28 - September 22
  • Access to Core Strength Room will be Limited from September 8 to September 15

September Facility Closures
Just as a reminder, The NECC will be closed from August 28 to September 4 to provide our hard-working staff a well-deserved break.

During our closure, our team of experienced volunteers will be gearing up for a makeover of the Men's Locker Room. We plan to remove the current carpet, which will be replaced by new resilient vinyl flooring.

To make this magic happen, our contractors and volunteers will need a bit of time and space, meaning our Men's Locker Room will be closed from August 28 to September 22. While this takes place, the Universal Locker Room will remain open for your convenience. You'll find locking stalls for privacy and day-use lockers to stow your belongings.

We truly appreciate your support and understanding as we make these crucial updates and give our hardworking staff a chance to unwind. We can't wait to see you all again when we reopen on September 5!
