Dear ECFSC Member,

 

Another summer has flown by!  Now that we’re all more or less settled back into our school-year routines, the Board has asked me to announce and implement our new Rink Monitoring Policy.  This new policy will come into effect at the beginning of the November-December 2006 contract period.  Lisa Bennett, chair of the Rink Monitoring Committee, will be its administrator.  The policy is outlined below; it is designed to encourage full membership participation and to provide a small reward to those families who take on more than their share of monitoring duties. 

 

Only families who have contracted ice for a period are required to rink monitor during that contract period.  Rink monitoring is one of those small but important volunteering opportunities which improve the quality of our competitive skaters and help insure the safety of all our skaters on the ice.  It is a great chance to get to know the names and faces of all our skaters and observe their gradual improvement.  If you have questions or concerns regarding rink monitoring, or would like to volunteer for one of our many remaining committee openings, our club’s next General Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, October 15 at 2:30 pm in the O’Brien Room.

 

See You at the Rink,

 

 

Todd Meyer

ECFSC President

 

 

RINK MONITORING POLICY REQUIREMENTS

 

  1. Members have until the 15th of the first month in each 2-month contract period to sign up for their required number of rink monitoring sessions.  After the 15th of the first month of the contract period, any unclaimed sessions may be taken by the first person to claim them.

 

  1. Any family that does not monitor their minimum required number of sessions (or arrange for a substitute) will be fined $5.00 per session missed, whether Moves or Freestyle.  Anyone who signs up for a session, but does not monitor it or arrange for a substitute, will likewise be fined $5.00 per session missed.

 

  1. Any family that monitors beyond their minimum requirement will be given a credit with the club of $2.00 per session, whether Moves or Freestyle.  Any family that signs up for an extra session but does not monitor it or arrange for a substitute will be fined $5.00 per extra session missed.

 

  1. Failure to keep current with monitoring or fine balance due will result in that family’s loss of Good Standing with the ECFSC, meaning that their skater(s) will be denied competition registration signatures as well as the right to contract ice or participate in the ECFSC Ice Show. (See Eau Claire Figure Skating Club 2005-2006 Handbook, pg. 6 “Outstanding Bill Policy” and pgs. 11-12 “Contract Ice Policy”; also, Bylaws Eau Claire Figure Skating Club, Article IX, Sections 4 & 5.)

 

  1. A “Standing Status Board” will be posted in the Pro Parent Room, where the names of club families currently not in Good Standing will be listed.  This list will be updated as fines are paid.
