Two quick things to know:
- We have a new social media coordinator – Jen Lindsey! She will post pictures to social media for CIFSC. Her e-mail is sportyjen32@hotmail.com.
PLEASE share pictures with Jen so she can showcase all the amazing performances our skaters are competing around the state this competition season! Thank you, Jen! - We have been alerted to a change in Raise Right. Orders that ship to the coordinator will cost a bit more effective Feb. 1:
Effective February 1, 2024, the organization shipping rates for all UPS methods will be increasing. Unfortunately, we are unable to continue absorbing increased costs being passed on to us from UPS. Here are the new shipping rates that will apply to organization orders starting on February 1:
UPS Ground:- Current Rate: $10.50
- New Rate: $11.00 (Effective 2/1/2024)
Thank you!

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!

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.

Hello CIFSC families!
Are you interested in helping work concessions during open skate and Learn to Skate? Earn money to pay for package, synchro, etc.!
Concessions shifts are a credit-earning opportunity that can be used to help pay for CIFSC costs and are credited monthly to your account.
We just received our shift schedule and our coordinator will be sending out the shift sign-up later this week.
New volunteers will be expected to attend a training during LTS on either Saturday September 9 or Tuesday the 12th. Experienced volunteers are also welcome to join us for a refresher. If these dates don’t work please let Liz know.
Skaters older than 12 are able to help in the concession stand and skaters over 16 are able to work on their own so long as they also attend the training.
Please email Liz Anderson at eanderson731@gmail.com by Monday the 4th if you’d like to work concessions this year.
Thank you,
CIFSC

The rink staff wants to remind everyone that when the weather is warm, the heat that comes in from the entrance doors creates condensation drips from the ceiling. The staff will do their best to minimize the impact of the drips, but skaters should be cautious on that end of the rink on warm days. Fixing this issue is part of the ongoing updates to the Willett.
There was a misprint on the Rink Monitor Schedule. Wednesday’s package will run from 6:00-7:00.
