16 Fundraising WFSC BOARD AND FUNDRAISING CHAIR RESPONSIBILITES  All fundraising activities sponsored by the Woodbury Figure Skating Club must be authorized and conducted according to the by-laws of the WFSC, Federal and State law, and the IRS Code.   As such, fundraisers must be: Allowed by law. Planned and approved by the WFSC Board and/or the Fundraising Chair. Conducted with the sole purpose of benefiting the club without segregation or identification of individual skaters. Scheduled and calendared accordingly. Nonpartisan, non-political and non-denominational in nature.  All efforts will be made to provide a large selection of fundraising opportunities throughout the year. Members are encouraged not to wait until late in the season to volunteer for fundraising events. The WFSC will not provide commitment relief to members who are unable to schedule last minute fundraising events. The WFSC Board and/or the Fundraising Chair are not responsible for the cancellation of events due to lack of participation.  Please note: All fundraising credits are calculated on the amount of profit benefiting the WFSC. For those events involving time and effort (i.e. garbage pick-up), the credit amount will be the total received divided by the number of participants.

17 Volunteer Hours Policy All families involved with the Woodbury Figure Skating Club (Home Club Members) must complete 10 approved hours of volunteer opportunities. These include: Rink Monitoring (MUST sign-in to the Rink Monitor book) Invent and Chair a new fundraiser that has been approved by the WFSC Board of Directors Board Member Volunteer at the Annual Ice Show (April) Volunteer at the Annual Competition (October) (over and above the competition-required 2 hours per family for skaters registered for this event) Help with the Banquet (May) Help with the Test Sessions

18 Volunteer Hours Policy When a Volunteer Opportunity is a fundraiser that requires the volunteers or skaters and parents to work at it for the fundraiser to be a success, no volunteer hours will be credited. Rather, fundraising dollars will be credited. Examples: Applebee’s Pancake Breakfast, Kowalski’s Courtesy When a parent or skater comes up with a new idea for a fundraiser, researches and implements it, presents it to the WFSC Board of Directors and has approval, that family will be credited with ALL of their volunteer hours for the year. The fundraising dollars will be divided by the people who sold them at an event in an equitable manner depending on how many hours were worked. Example: Chocolate Skate Suckers With a fundraiser like Pampered Chef or Tupperware, the family will be credited the amount of their sales. If the consultant is part of a WFSC family, that family will be credited according to the consultant’s contribution to the club. No volunteer hours will be credited. With a fundraiser such as a raffle or sale of gift certificates, no volunteer hours will be credited. The family will be credited for the amount sold as stipulated by the fundraiser chairperson. UNLESS OTHERWISE APPROVED, NO VOLUNTEER HOURS WILL BE GIVEN FOR TIME SPENT AT A FUNDRAISER. Each family will be charged $10/hour for not fulfilling their required 10 hours/year.

19 Rink Monitor  Easiest way to get your volunteer hours! Policy Since 2011: You must rink monitor at least 1 time per contract, per contract session

20 Testing USFS test sessions are held usually held 2 times each year. Other clubs in the TCFSA (Twin City Figure Skating Association) offer testing as well and these can be found on the TCFSA.com website. Not the parents’ responsibility to set up testing times for their skaters. This is decided between the coach and skater when the time is right and with the parents’ permission. The forms which are required to be filled out and signed by a parent and the coach are found on the website under FORMS. Testing progresses from pre-preliminary to senior level and includes field moves and freestyle. The field moves test must be taken before the freestyle test for any given level. The highest freestyle test level passed determines the level for competition. Testing has its advantages in that it: Allows a standard progression through private lessons, Allows the skater to feel rewarded for his/her efforts, Determines at what level the skater can compete at USFS competitions Gives the parent and skater a sense of accomplishment from the lessons Test levels are described at the end of this presentation, which will be available on the website (skatewoodbury.org)for your reference.

24 WFSC ICE RULES Everyone is responsible for reading and understanding. Listed below are the ice rules and regulations of the Woodbury Figure Skating Club. It is expected that all skaters who skate on WFSC ice will abide by these rules, on and off the ice. 1. Good sportsmanship is expected of all skaters off and on the ice. 2.

This includes name-calling, inappropriate facial displays, swearing or yelling, kicking the ice, or unwillingness to support club rules. 3.

The skater may not enter the ice until his/her skate bag and other personal effects are in the assigned locker room. 6. The rink monitor is responsible for the safety of skaters on contract ice and the enforcement of the club ice rules. Skaters are expected to respect the authority of the rink monitor. 7.

25 WFSC ICE RULES 8. Skaters will be alert for other skaters at all times. Skaters who are not alert pose a threat to others.
