Peak Performers - New! Enter your mileage and distance online! http://www.dlccc.org/peakperformers

http://www.dlccc.org/peakperformers

Day after day, you put in miles on the treadmill, walk laps around the track, swim lengths of the pool, and spend hours and hours biking, stepping, rowing, lifting, and so much more inside the doors of the DLCCC. 

We continue to be amazed at how many of you have chosen to make exercise and physical activity part of your daily lives, and we want to reward you for that! The DLCCC is proud to announce our new “Peak Performers” member rewards program. As a member of the DLCCC, you can work toward fitness “milestones,” and will be rewarded for each one you reach.

The new program launches Wednesday, January 14. Peak Performers is free for all DLCCC members, and everyone who signs up gets a DLCCC pin. Simply fill out a Peak Performers registration card at the front desk. Each time you work out, write down your hours and distances in each category and put them in the Peak Performer’s box that will be located in our lobby. We will keep track of your progress and reward you with a special pin for each goal you reach. For example if you run 500 miles, walk 100 miles, swim 600 laps, spend 24 hours lifting weights or attend 100 fitness classes, you can earn pins.

As you continue to earn pins, you will work toward earning special Peak Performance apparel, available only to our “Peak Performers” to show that you have reached each level, including t-shirts, workout bags, sweatshirts and more. You may earn pins in various categories, or several pins in one category.

As our Peak Performers earn pins, their names willl be posted on the display in our lobby and will receive recognition in our newsletter. There will be special offers available to participants through e-mail and text messaging.

Participating is easy and at no cost to you!
1. Fill out a registration card at the front desk.

2. Log your weekly workouts using the tracking sheets provided. We’ll keep a tally of your mileage/time.

3. Achieve pins by reaching the mileage/time milestones. You’ll be notified and can pick up pins at the front desk. Pin earners will be recognized in our newsletter.

4. Earn apparel by making your way up the mountains.
Base Camp (5 Pins) = T-Shirt
Summit (10 Pins) = Workout Bag
Peak (20 Pins) = Sweatshirt

After Reaching the Peak of Challenge 1, Mt. McKinley, you will advance to K2 and then Mt. Everest. Make it through the entire Peak Performers’ Range and be honored as part of our Walk of Fame!

DLCCC Launches Corporate Wellness Program

The Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center is proud to announce the new “DLCCC Corporate Wellness Program.”  The program is a unique partnership between the DLCCC and area businesses with the goal of promoting an active lifestyle among employees and the community.
Employees of participating businesses will receive a discount on their DLCCC membership if they check in at least eight times each month. All participants will receive a $5 credit each month they meet the minimum of eight check-ins. The DLCCC is also encouraging businesses to play an active role in the health of their employees by pitching in $5 per month, per employee as well. If businesses contribute, the DLCCC will kick in additional $5. This means that members could potentially save $15 per month, which is nearly 40 percent off the price of a premier single membership.

This program is similar to the insurance reimbursement programs offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medica and other health insurance companies. The DLCCC is pleased to offer the program to those who do not currently receive this benefit through their health insurance provider. Companies who receive the reimbursement through their health insurance can receive a 10 or 15 percent discount through the DLCCC’s coprorate program.

The DLCCC hopes the “reward” strategy was implemented to encourage participants to commit to becoming physically active. “We really feel this will motivate people to make health and fitness a priority,” says DLCCC Chief Executive Officer Stu Omberg.

Research has shown that companies can benefit greatly from healthy employees. It’s been proven that corporate wellness programs are well worth the investment. The World Health Organzation has found that every $1 spent on company wellness programs saves the company $3 in future expenses. Benefits to the employers can include reduction of short-term sick leave (up to 32%), reduction of health care costs (up to 55%), increased productivity (up to 52%), improved staff morale, reduction of staff turnover, reduction of absenteeism and improved recruitment of new employees. Employees benefit from the programs as well including improved morale, reduction of stress, increased job satisfaction, improved health, improved sense of well being, and enhanced self-esteem.

Representatives from the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center will be visiting local businesses to inform them about the new Corporate Wellness Program. If you are interested in learning more, contact the DLCCC at 218-844-4221.

MORE THAN 1,200 AREA CHILDREN TO PARTICIPATE IN “MOSAIC MANIA”

Classrooms from Lake Park-Audubon, Circle of Life, Frazee, Waubun-Ogema, Perham and Detroit Lakes have all been invited to take part in “Mosaic Mania. They will work with glass artist Becky Mitchell to create floral, landscape, lake scenes and other nature designs.  Each class will work together on one window, and each child will also make a smaller project to take home.

“Mosaic Mania!” is being headed up by glass artist Becky Mitchell, who also is employed by the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center. Mitchell has been doing glasswork for more than 10 years and has worked with hundreds of children through the DLCCC’s After School Program and in the Otsego School District in Ohio.

“It’s an art form that most of the people and students in our area would not otherwise be exposed to. It’s always heartwarming to for me to see how each child takes the project and makes it their own,” she says.

All money raised from the windows will go back to support our children’s programming at the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center. The DLCCC operates an After School Program in which children participate in hands-on arts and fitness activities. Also, the Holmes Theatre presents 4-6 children’s shows and offers reduced rate tickets to more than 7,000 kids. Touring groups have come from as far as Washington, D.C., and New York City to perform on the Holmes stage for young audiences.

Various businesses have donated supplies for the project. Most of the glass was donated by Kokomo Glass with additional pieces provided by Ace Hardware in Moorhead, the Glass Doctor, Detroit Paint and Glass, Lynette Conmy of Jack Chivers Realty and The Glass Lady. Glue was donated by Weldbond Corporation and Beug’s Ace Hardware. Businesses are also invited to support the project by sponsoring a class’s projects for $100.

For more information, contact Becky Mitchell at 218-844-4221 Ext. 117 or e-mail (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), or visit the Mosaic Mania website.
