Competition
Many thanks for the hundreds of hours donated by our skating volunteers to make the 18th Annual Magic City International Figure Skating Competition a reality. We had 141 skaters from 14 clubs, three states and one province. Plans are in place for our 19th Annual next January. Please forward suggestions for next year’s competition to Kim Krohn at platysma@ndak.net. All club members should remember to thank the committee chairpeople and other volunteers.
Fund Raisers for ALL Club Members
Nash Finch is helping the club out with a fund raiser. For every UPC barcode collected from an “Our Family” brand product, Nash Finch will donate 5 cents to the club. It’s a great fund raiser, and one that we hope ALL skating families and friends will help out with. Bring those UPC barcodes in! The fund raiser will extend through June 2007. Labels can be given to coaches or mailed in.
Please send your “No Spaghetti Dinner” donations in to the skating office—no committee meetings, no washing dishes!
Vandalism at MAYSA
Some vandalism occurred during our competition weekend in January, resulting in damage to our arena. The arena management wants to make sure that all of our members and friends know that if the perpetrators are caught that they will be prosecuted. Anyone having any information about this should contact the police. Please be on the lookout for anyone desecrating our facility.
