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!

Ice Show / Winter LTS Registration: Opens Nov. 1st, Construction Updates

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 1st. 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.

Friday A.M. Open Freestyle: Skaters Needed!

A few of you have asked what it would take to make the Friday Open Freestyle run.

After running the numbers, I have come up with what I need to open the ice during that time. If we start on Sept. 29th and go until Dec. 15th, with the exception of Black Friday, that equals 11 skates. I need $880 total. That amount can be divided up between the skaters who wish to participate. Participants will pay for the entire session, and no drop-in option will be available.

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.

Open Freestyle: Friday & Saturday Classes

Hello Skaters and Coaches,

Please consider signing up for the Learn to Skate Open Freestyle ice time on Friday and Saturday mornings. Historically, these ice times were used as open ice for skaters wanting extra practice or a time for coaches and skaters to work together. Last year we moved away from the daily drop in option to registering for the full session only. This fall session Friday Open Freestyle runs from 9/8 to 12/15 with the exception of 11/24. The Saturday Open Freestyle follows the same timeframe as the other Learn to Skate classes: 9/9-10/28. The cost is equal to $8 per skate.

Currently, we do not have enough skaters to run either session. I would like to see a minimum of five skaters registered by Noon on Thursday 9/7 to order to run the hour long skates. If we do have to cancel the classes we will inform those who are registered and refund the fee.
