Kroc Membership Doubles to 12,000

Item: Kroc membership doubles in 3 weeks: Center nets another 6000 members/Tom Hasslinger, Cda Press

More Info: 12,000. And counting. The Salvation Army's new Ray and Joan Kroc Community Center is making good on its promise to be a destination the whole community can enjoy. Doubling its membership total from three weeks ago, the $38 million mega-recreation center off Golf Course Road in Coeur d'Alene boasts 12,000 members -- eight times the number of people it originally expected to join.

Question: So when can we officially tell the naysayers who fought so hard to stop this project (you know who you are): I told you so?
