Thank You South Atlantics Volunteers!!

Many, many thanks to those of you who volunteered during the South Atlantics Competition which was hosted by the UDFSC in November!! The event was a huge success thanks to many of you. A special thanks to Anna Bloch and Barbara Heilman who cochaired this event and spent countless hours assuring its success.

Membership

Your Membership Registration Liability Waiver is due immediately! USFSA membership expired on December 31, 1994. Without this waiver on file you are not considered a member and therefore cannot compete at any competition. If you have not returned your waiver please do so immediately. If you have any questions please see Barbara Heilman.

Board Member Changes

Several changes have taken place in the UDFSC Board over the past couple of months. First, and most importantly, we wish to extend our most sincere thanks to Pete Pervi, Kay Cashell and Charles Robel who have resigned from the Board. Each of these individuals will be missed. The Board would like to welcome Donna Graham and Desi Moxley who have been appointed to fill two of the positions. Donna has agreed to assume the Test Chairman position. Desi has agreed to prepare the newsletter.

Elections

Elections for open positions on the UDFSC Board will take place in May. If you know of someone who would like to run for one of the positions, please give the individual's name to Donna Graham, Anna Bloch or Betty Garvin by April 1st.

Party For The Skaters

The Board has been discussing sponsoring a party for UDFSC members. Many ideas have been suggested. Since the party is for the members, we thought it best to ask you, the members, to tell us what type of party you would like. At the end of this Newsletter is a "Party Suggestion Form". Please fill the form out and drop it in the box under the mailboxes in the hallway. We will make a decision based upon the surveys which are returned. Since we would like to hold the party in May, it is important that the surveys be returned by March 22nd.
