**IMPORTANT: Medical Help NEEDED at Fort Collins Classic!**

In order to provide for the safety of all our skaters and participants at our annual Classic Competition, we need to ensure we can respond to any medical needs in a timely manner. In doing so, we want to make sure we have someone licensed or certified to help with general first aid and to be able to determine whether further medical attention is necessary. Although we have a few skating community members who can meet these needs, we want to make sure there is continual coverage throughout the competition. Would you or someone you know be able to help in this regard? Perhaps you have contacts in the community who would be able to help? For example: sports medicine/ ortho practitioner, sports therapist, certified athletic trainer, or EMT.

Please let us know ASAP if you or someone you might know might be able to help. Please email: Juliana at president@fortcollinsfsc.org

HELP NEEDED: Competition Chairs for Hotel Hospitality and Practice Ice Chair

It takes dedicated chairs and volunteers to pull off every competition we host. Looking ahead, some of our current chairs are moving into other positions/ opportunities. Chairs have all of their required volunteer hours covered for the year with the hours they serve at Fright Fest and Fort Collins Classic. We are seeking some members willing to train this year at Classic to take over as chairs for the next couple of years in these positions:

HOTEL HOSPITALITY- This person will coordinate goodies and other items for judges and officials participating at the competition and staying at a nearby hotel.

PRACTICE ICE- This person makes sure skaters are checked in for their practice and are on the correct session. Normally, this is a great position for members interested in earlier morning hours. Volunteers are recruited to assist the chair.

If you have questions regarding these positions or are interested in learning/ shadowing for the roles, please contact: info@fortcollinsfsc.org

Disney on Ice Group Discount Tickets Available

Some of you took advantage of our Stars on Ice group discount offer at Blue Arena. After the Olympics the event SOLD OUT!

Now, we have ANOTHER group discount opportunity for Disney fans in the club. We have a block of discount tickets available for the Disney on Ice performance coming to the Blue Arena. These are exclusively for the Saturday, April 4th, 11AM show, $29 with seats in SECTION E (a PINK section). We have 42 tickets reserved.

Click HERE to purchase them on a secure payment platform through Blue Arena. Any tickets in our block which remain unsold will be released to Blue to sell at regular price several weeks before the show.

Seeking Help with Promoting Sponsorships

**NEW! All sponsorship information is now available under the "SUPPORT" tab of the club's website!

Do you know As you know a business that would make a good fit as a sponsor for FCFSC? We need help identifying and approaching potential sponsors to help support our efforts. If you know of someone who would make a great potential sponsor or would be interested in helping approach some, please contact Heidi Early at marketing@fortcollinsfsc.org.

We are anticipating EPIC shutting down its ice beginning in mid-April after Fort Collins Classic. In order to fund our ice show, we need to arrange ice time for our skaters at NoCo Ice which will cost additional money. In order to help keep costs down, we are seeking out sponsors to support our club-- not just the ice show. Thanks in advance for your help and ideas!
