K.B. Willett: Parking and Access

Hello Learn to Skate participants!

Starting this Saturday, I am excited to kick off the 23-24 ice season with Learn to Skate classes! This fall session will require a bit of flexibility on everyone’s part as the Willett Arena will continue to be under construction throughout the rest of 2023. As a result, the Willett parking lot off of Minnesota Ave. will have reduced parking spots available. Please refer to the map attached to this email to see all available parking locations around the arena. We will be utilizing both the east and west entrances of the arena until further notice. In late September/ early October, the east entrance will be completely closed off for about a week. A vestibule will be constructed during this closure. I will update all users when that exact date is known.

January 2023: Congratulations! / Rink Monitor / Soloist Updates

Congratulations to all of our club skaters who have competed the last several weekends! It is incredible to see how hard they have all worked.

Some upcoming competition options:

Rink Monitors:

Soloist music for the ice show is available in the google drive located on the website. It will be downloaded onto the kindle by next week’s package. To access off the kindle you can:

  • connect to internet
  • go to the package music tab that is bookmarked in the web browser

or

  • go to cifsc.net
  • skating opportunities
  • package ice
  • music uploads

These directions are also written on the white sheet tucked in the bag with the Kindle. Soloists, please make sure your song is included in all of your packages.

Ice Show pictures will be March 4th. A schedule will be shared soon.

Rink Monitoring: Music Order Changes (Effective: 1/15/23)

In order to ensure all skaters have an equal chance of having their music played during package ice, we will be mixing up where we start our alphabetical order.

This week (Jan 15, 2023) we will be starting with the middle of the alphabet and from the end of the alphabet next week. The starting points will be marked in the rink monitor book.

In addition to going in order, rink monitors should take note of which skaters have been able to skate their programs more than other skaters and should adjust accordingly so that everyone has an equal opportunity to practice.

Thank you,
CIFSC

SPAM Email Reminder

Each year we deal with SPAM emails sent to various club members. They look like they are from me, but they are not from my personal email account. Our club account, nor my personal account, have not been hacked. 

Often these emails ask for you to contact me, that it is urgent. They sometimes request you purchase gift cards for a donation or reward. 

I WILL NEVER ASK YOU TO DO THIS.

Digital Music: New Uploads Needed

Last year the club made a first attempt at using a digital music player in place of CDs. This year we have purchased a device strictly for this purpose and we need your help to try it out. 

In order to play this year’s music electronically, we will need skaters or their coaches to upload a digital version of their solo, duet, artistic piece, and dance songs to the folder that matches their package.
