It is hard to believe it’s almost September. As promised, here is my late August HSC Club Update:
1) Club Ice
Club Ice resumes on Wednesday, September 7 5:45-6:45 pm.
The rates for club ice will remain the same as they were last year.
$4 per session for members, $8 per session for non-members. A 10 session punch card will be available for $38-and is an option for full or associate members, but not for non-members. A season’s pass is available for all full members at a rate of $120. If you wish to purchase a season’s pass or a punch card, you can do so either via this web-site (click on club ice at the right) or at the beginning of every club ice session. If you know you are likely to skate at most club ice sessions this season, the season’s pass offers significant savings over the course of the year.
Club Ice will be held every Wednesday during the school year except for the following dates: November 23, December 7, December 28, and March 14th. There will be one more date in April or May when Club Ice is canceled due to rehearsal for the Spring Show, but that date is not yet known so it will be announced at a later time. The last day for Club Ice for this season will be May 23rd.
Just a reminder that if the Iowa City Community School District cancels school or has an early dismissal due to winter weather, club ice for that evening will also be canceled. (Unless the mall actually closes, the rink may run public skate during those times, so you can always check with them if you are wanting to skate even though club ice has been canceled.)
2) Annual meeting and board elections
We will hold our annual membership meeting on Wednesday, September 7, at 7 pm in one of the meeting rooms by the rink. Please consider attending as we’ll discuss our club calendar for the year (including our plans for the spring Competition and for fall exhibitions and the holiday show). In addition, we’ll be discussing board elections, and if enough are present, we’ll conduct the actual board elections that evening. If we don’t have sufficient attendance to actually do the elections that evening, we will handle elections via an electronic vote. Please consider joining us for the meeting and let me know if you have any suggestions for additional agenda items.
3) Membership Renewals
A few of you have still not renewed your memberships from last year. It is not too late to do so. Just go to the membership link on the right to complete membership paperwork and then either pay on-line via paypal or leave a check made out to Hawkeye Skating Club at the rink. Coaches: if you’ve not yet renewed and intend to coach on club ice, please remember you must join as a coach. Per USFSA requirements, you must complete the USFSA coaches registration process in time for us to verify you have done so prior to coaching during club ice.
As always, Happy Skating and I’ll see you on the ice!
Heidi Nobiling
President, Hawkeye Skating Club
