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:

or

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.

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.

Reminder: Cancellation Policy

I just wanted to send a reminder that our club does NOT follow the cancellation policy of the school district. This means if school is cancelled or after school activities are cancelled by the district, that does not apply to our evening package ice. If you are not comfortable coming in for a package, certainly stay home. If you are scheduled to rink monitor, you will need to find a replacement. Package Ice will run, as scheduled, unless the rink decides to close. We will update any cancellations via email and facebook.

If your skater chooses to miss the package, no refunds will be given. If the rink closes, you will receive a credit for that ice time. 

Thank you,
CIFSC board

Package Ice: Use CAUTION!, Time Correction & Reminders

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.
