Midwest/pacific synchronized skating sectionals at Cedar Rapids next weekend
Jan 25, 2010
Dear Skaters,
The Midwest/pacific synchronized skating sectionals will be at the Cedar Rapids rink next weekend. This has a couple of consequences for skating at the Coral Ridge Ice Arena next week:
1) There will be no public skate or freestyle ice time at the Coral Ridge Ice Arena from Wednesday Jan. 27, 9am through Friday Jan. 29, 5pm. The ONLY time available for figure skating during this time is the regular club ice time Wednesday evening 5:45-6:45pm. THERE WILL BE CLUB ICE Wednesday Jan. 27. At other times it should be very interesting to watch the talented synchro teams practice their competition routines.
2) The host of the sectionals, the Eastern Iowa Figure Skating Club, is looking for volunteers during some of these ice times. They are looking for one ice monitor and one music player during the times below. They are offering one all-day pass to the sectional competition to each volunteer who works a 4 hour shift. The times they are currently looking for are:
Thursday 6:00 AM – 8:45 AM
11:15 AM – 12:45 PM
2:15 PM – 11:00 PM
Friday 6:00 AM – 11:45 AM
2:15 PM – 4:45 PM
If you have an interest in volunteering for this please contact Becky LeDuc directly at leducmail@gmail.com
Happy skating,

Weekly Update
Dec 16, 2009
Dear Skaters,
1) The holiday show was a great success, with more routines and more variety than ever before. Great work by the skaters who did not have the standard dress rehearsal this year due to the blizzard. Thanks to Suke for announcing, Eric for music, all the coaches and rink staff for help making the show a success.
2) DVDs can still be ordered here.
3) As the dress rehearsal was canceled on Wednesday, and was included in the show fee, show participants skate free during club ice today, 5:45-6:45pm.
4) This is the last club ice for the calendar year - the next club ice time will be Jan. 6. Happy holidays!
5) We're still looking for some volunteers for gift wrapping on Dec. 24, 1-6pm, particularly the later hours. Please consider volunteering by sending e-mail or registering at the top of this page.
Happy skating,
Michael

No makeup dress rehearsal
Extended warm up to show Saturday
Dec 10, 2009
Dear Skaters,
The dress rehearsal will not be rescheduled - instead we will have an extended warm-up on Saturday before the show to make sure to run through the finale. Skaters, please be at the rink by 4:45pm on Saturday. Warm-up for the show, and finale practice, will be 5-5:30pm. Then there will be another ice cut and the show will begin ~ 5:45pm.
Please come earlier if you wish to participate in making the set - rolls of paper and markers will be available by 4pm at the rink.
As we missed the time slot on Wednesday, we will not charge admission to club ice to show participants on Wednesday, Dec. 16. It will be free for show participants (5:45-6:45pm Wednesday Dec. 16)
