Annual Test Session / High School Competition: Sat. Dec. 9, 2023

Our annual test session and Red Panther High School Competition will be held on Saturday, December 9th. Please review the attached registration form and discuss testing with your coach. The test session is open to current CIFSC members and associate members only.

Back by popular demand, we will again be offering a club resale opportunity on this day as well. Refer to the attached flyer for details.

As a reminder, if your skater is participating in either the test session or the high school competition, you will need to complete two hours of volunteer time during that day. For test session only skaters, your hours will apply towards your club volunteer hours. For high school skaters, your first two hours will fulfil your high school volunteer requirement. Any additional hours worked will count towards your club volunteer hours. Please follow this link: https://signup.com/go/GeowPHO

Stevens Point Downtown Holiday Parade: Dec 1, 2023

Crystal Ice Figure Skating Club and Learn to Skate families will once again participate in the Stevens Point Downtown Holiday Parade on Friday, December 1. We need your help to walk alongside the float and pass out candy! This activity is optional, but we’d love to see our skaters (parents welcome too) partake in this fun event for our community! More details on how to participate will be communicated at a further date, but until then save all that Halloween candy for the skaters to pass out. There will be a donation bin in the Skate Shop starting Sunday, October 29. Any donations are greatly appreciated!

Happy Friday Everyone,

Well, our plans for finishing concrete were set back by the rain yesterday. As a result, the east entrance of the arena will still be closed through Monday of next week. Please continue to use the west entrance.

In order to give all our current skater families a fair chance at getting the classes they want I am pushing the opening registration day to November 1^st. Please go to https://secure.rec1.com/WI/stevens-point-wi/catalog to sign up for winter session Learn to Skate and the Ice Show on November 1st!

Butterbraid Fundraiser: Due (Sunday 10/22/2023)

Good evening everyone! Just a few short days left of butter braid fundraising! I wanted to send out a few reminders:

Collect payment at time of order. If your buyer is paying via check, have the check made payable to you. When you turn in the order form and payment on 10/22/23, please include 1 check for the total amount of all braids sold made payable to CIFSC.
I will be available at the rink on 10/22/23 to pick up the order forms/checks. If you are unable to make it to the rink that day, please have your order form/check placed in the CIFSC drop box within the K.B. Willett Arena prior to 10/22/23.

As always, please reach out with any questions!

Thanks!
Melissa

Butterbraid Fundraiser: Kickoff (10/8) & Reminders

Hello CIFSC skating families!

This is a reminder that our butter braid fundraiser kicks off next Sunday, 10/8/23. Sales run through Sunday 10/22/23. Butter braids must be picked up on Thursday 11/2/23 between 5:30pm & 6:00pm. If you are not able to pick them up, please arrange for someone else to pick up for you. Pick up will be at the K.B. Willett Arena. I am hoping it will be by East entrance, however, depending on what construction looks like at that time, we may have to move it to the West side by the Boys and Girls Club/Police Department. I will be sure the pick-up place is communicated as we get closer.
