The Week of Jun 29, 2015 in Team Z

Welcome, welcome, WELCOME New Zers. Thanks for joining and we hope you stick around long enough to get more fit and make lots of new friends! To the veteran Zers: please welcome the new Zers to the fold.

You should normally expect to get this message on a Sunday evening or Monday morning at the latest. We’ve had a lot a changes to make and needed extra time to dot the I’s  and cross the T’s  (And I’m sure there are still some things I missed! Oh well.)

Important Announcements and Reminders for this week

 

 ·                 Polls, polls and more polls

Team Z does a lot of polls. They are super, super, SUPER important. It allows us to gauge interest in new things we might want to try as well as more accurately plan and support our events. You’re going to see a lot of polls over the next few days. Please make it a priority to vote and let yourself be heard. We really appreciate it!

 

 ·                 Circle this event and date on your calendar today!

The week of July 13 is a recovery week. Normally, on recovery weeks, each chapter has a Wednesday happy hour.   But the recovery week after a kickoff is special. We want to welcome all the new Zers to the team, so we’ve started a new custom of having a JOINT Team Z happy hour the first recovery week after a kickoff. The last joint happy hour was a smashing success and so much fun. This one will be even better! The arrangements have already been made so turn in your leave slips and get out of work early.
