JASON GOODELL, ATHLETIC CLUB DIRECTOR | 616-456-8311 | [email protected]
Athlec Members,
It has come to light that we need to make the Athlec Club a more secure environment. Since members already have access
badges and security cameras are in place, the Athlec Club Commi2ee and management have decided to lock the Athlec
Club doors during day me hours. The Club prides itself on having a safe facility and wants to connue this into the future.
Starng January 1, 2016, your access badge will be required to enter the Athlec Club at all mes.
Please make sure your access badge is up to date and working in the next few weeks. If you need to order a badge, please
write your name on the provided sheet at the Athlec Club desk, email me at [email protected] or call the Athlec Club at
616-456-8311. Badges can take a few days to arrive, so please make sure you nofy staff by December 21 to avoid problems
with holidays and UPS deliveries. Once your badge come in, you will be nofied. When you are contacted, please let us know
if you want to pick-up your badge at the AC desk or on the 10th floor, have staff put it in your locker, or mail it to you.
Thank you for your paence as the Club works through this process. Please feel free to call the Club management with any
quesons or concerns. The Club appreciates your connuing support of our Athlec Facility. Thank you for helping us make
