HSC Update 8/29/10

Posted on 29 August 2010 / Categories: Uncategorized,

We held our first board meeting of the 2010-2011 season on 8/25/10. Minutes from the annual meeting held in May were approved and will soon be posted on the HSC this web-site. Minutes from the August meeting will be reviewed and approved at our September meeting and subsequently will be posted on the web-site after approval.

1. Club Ice
Club Ice will start on Wednesday, September 1. Official club ice time is 5:45-6:45 pm. We will hold club ice most Wednesdays through May, 2011, with the exception of Wednesday, November 24, Wednesday, December 8, Wednesday, December 22, Wednesday, December 29 and Wednesday, March 16.

The board voted to keep the club ice rate for HSC members at $4 per session, and the rate for non-members will be $8 per session. HSC members may also receive further discounted rates by purchasing either a 10 session punch pass for $38 or by purchasing a season pass for club ice for $120. Punch passes and season passes may soon be purchased via a pay pal transaction on the HSC web-site (details to be announced soon) or they may be purchased during a club ice session from the club representative taking payments during club ice.

As a reminder, any coach wishing to teach private lessons during club ice must be a HSC member and must have completed the USFSA Coaches Registration and Background Screening process. More information about this is availalbe on the USFSA web-site.

If you have any questions about club ice please let me know.

2. Board Positions
Our current vice-president, Terri Cicha, has decided to resign from her position. Thus, we now have that position open for election along with two unfilled board positions. Any adult member of the HSC may run for one of these three positions. Feel free to nominate yourself or someone else (with their permission of course). Nominations must be submitted to me by Friday, September 10th. The current board of directors will then elect the VP and the remaining officers at our September board meeting.

3. Exhibitions
We will again hold brief skating exhibitions during some of the monthly Family Fun nights at Coral Ridge Mall. Any HSC member may present one program during these exhibitions. Our first exhibition will be held on Friday, September 24, and we will also hold an exhibition on Friday, October 29. More information about these exhibitions will be sent out in the next couple of weeks.

4. Upcoming Board Meetings
The board agreed that board meetings will typically be scheduled for the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7pm.

The next meeting of the HSC board will be held on Wednesday, September 15 at 7pm at the Coral Ridge Ice Arena. All HSC members are welcome to attend. Please consider joining us for the September meeting to learn more about the HSC and our planned activities for the coming year. We will be discussing plans for the Holiday show as well as plans for a possible test session/competition to be held in the spring.

Happy Skating! I hope to see you on the ice!

HSC Update 6-6-10 Membership Renewals and New Applications

Posted on 6 June 2010 / Categories: Uncategorized,

Greetings to all current and prospective Hawkeye Skating Club Members! I hope summer is off to a good start for all of you. I am looking forward to serving as the new president of the club in the coming year, although I know I will have a lot to live up to following the many accomplishments of Michael Flatté during his tenure as president!

Current club memberships (and related USFSA memberships) expire on June 30, 2010, so please take the opportunity soon to renew your club membership, or to fill out a membership application to join our club if you are not currently a member. The many advantages of club membership are summarized on this web-site through the link at the top of the right hand column. I am pleased to report that our membership rates have not changed this year. We have also enhanced the membership renewal/application process by offering the opportunity to renew, join and pay on-line, thanks to the great work by our club webmaster, Jennifer Flatté! Membership renewals and applications for new membership can be accessed via the link to the right. We always welcome new members, so feel free to contact me (president@hawkeyeskating.org) if you are interested in joining or to refer potential new members to me for more information about the club.

I welcome any suggestions or input members have about our club. As you know, we won’t have club ice until sometime in September, but I hope to see many of you at the rink over the summer. Following the success of our recent test session, the HSC board is considering offering another test session late in August, 2010. We will make a decision on this soon, so please let me know if you would have any interest in participating in another test session before the new test requirements go into effect in September. I will also post an update soon with the minutes from our Annual Meeting. In the meantime, I’ll sign-off using our club’s tradition: Happy Skating!
