MFSC has a New Logo At the August 2002 meeting, the MFSC Board of Directors voted to adopt a new logo. Thanks to Sara Holwerda for designing our new look! Please attend 8/26 City Council Meeting! As everyone is now well aware, positive steps continue to be made to finalize plans to construct a new three-sheet ice arena in the City of Midland. Fast Ice, Inc., representing the major ice rental user groups, has been working diligently with the City of Midland on this project. Recently, City staff provided the Midland City Council with a report summarizing the project status, including proposals for funding this 11 Million dollar project. In order for the project to be approved by the City Council, a public hearing must first be held for City residents to express opinions about the proposed construction of this new arena. To show community support for this project we ask you to attend the Public Hearing at the City Building on August 26th at 7 PM. With the project reaching this critical stage, now is the time when you can make a difference by attending this public hearing and showing your support. Your presence at this meeting will make a tremendous difference to the outcome of this project. Parents and club members alike! If you own a club jacket please wear it. See you on August 26th at 7 p.m.! Thank You, GOT QUESTIONS?????? MFSC Parent/Coach/Judge Q&A Session Do you have any Questions about Figure Skating, Competitions, Testing, Etc? Mark Your Calendars!

MFSC Ice Restored Thanks to the efforts of arena staff and service company personnel, the ice has been restored. Summer School Skating will resume Thursday, 6/27 as scheduled. Compressor Failure Cancels MFSC Ice Time Due to weekend storms, the rink is experiencing compressor problems. There will be NO ICE for at least June 24 - 26. We will be offering evening off-ice classes as follows. Please feel free to use your make-ups if you are not registered for regular classes or for the extra classes. Cheryl Partlo will record absences as "storm related misses". If you are unable to make up this time during the regular summer session, the storm related missed time will be carried over as make-up ice for the early fall session. PLEASE - check your email daily for updates. Evening Off-Ice: Monday 6:30-7:10 Jazz Monday 7:20-8:00 Conditioning (added class) Tuesday 6:30-7:10 Ballet Tuesday 7:20-8:00 Conditioning (added class) Wednesday 6:30-7:10 Yoga Wednesday 7:20-8:00 Jump (added class) The good news is that all the repairs to the cooling system are complete and they are in the process of building the ice up to "skate-able" levels. The current high daytime temperatures are providing quite a challenge. However, the arena staff and service company have been working almost around the clock to get things up and running again.

Hallie Wilson Receives Bronze Judge Status The Judges Committee has approved Hallie's application for Bronze Dance Judge. Her dedication to the sport is truly commendable. Hallie, you are a true asset to our judging community. Fast Ice Fundraising It's time to get on board for fundraising planning for the new arena! It is with great pleasure that we announce Doug and Ann Ward as co-chairs for the Fast Ice Fundraising Committee. We are looking forward not only to raise money for the arena, but also to generate publicity for this new venture and for our programs throughout the community. The following is a list of potential events and activities which are in the works: Skate-a-thon (September 2002), Community Donation Campaign (ongoing with several possible activities), In-Kind Donation Campaign (ongoing solicitation of materials and services from community businesses), and Auction Gala (Spring 2003). We would encourage our MFSC members to be supportive of these efforts as it will benefit our club and advance our goals. Contact Doug or Ann Ward with any questions or suggestions. |
