What's Expected of ECFSC Families?

 

As a skating family there are some basic requirements you need to be aware of.  Most everything you need to know comes under one word:  INVOLVEMENT.

 

ECFSC is an organization run exclusively by volunteers.  There are  no paid staff members.  If Club families did not donate time and effort necessary to provide needed. services and funds, the Club could simply not exist.  We rely on ALL Club families to help us provide an optimal skating environment for every Club skater.  Therefore, parents and family of skaters MUST participate in club activities including the following:

  • Each family is required to sell a minimum amount during our annual fund raiser.  Any family not selling the required amount will be assessed for the unsold portion
  • EVERYONE is require to help with major events such as our annual competition, exhibition, and show, whether or not your skater is participating in these events.  Each family is expected to volunteer time.  For the show, families need to work two of the three shows.
  • All ECFSC members must sell the designated number of show tickets and participate in the show sponsor program.
  • During the summer ALL ECFSC members are expected to work a designated number of hours as rink monitor/concession stand worker.  The number of hours depend on the number of members in the Club.
  • Financial obligation are as stated in the Club By-laws found in the handbook.

 

The best advice anyone could give another member is to volunteer for anything you are able to do.

Now that you're all ready to volunteer your time, there are several ways to do your share:

  1. Watch the newsletters and the postings in the Pro-Parent Room for opportunities.
  2. Attend Club meetings - many opportunities are made available at these meetings.
  3. Contact the Chairperson of any of the various committees our Club has - a listing of these committees and their contact person is found on the web (Board Members and Committees).  
  4. Attend a Board Meeting - many opportunities are made available at these meetings.
  5. Contact a Board Member - they have been with the Club a number of years and are always glad to have an interested member volunteer their time.
  6. When you are called to volunteer for a specific event, do everything you can to fill that request and say YES! 

REMEMBER:  Everything is done by volunteers.
