Taking Care of Business

Skaters, we enjoyed an awesome 07-08 Skating Season in Learn to Skate and Figure Skating! It is only going to get better at the IHWC! We have some new and exciting programs for Advanced Learn to Skate
participants as well as our Beginner Figure Skaters! For now, however, we need to concentrate on registering with the USFS for the 2008-09 skating season.

If you and/or your skater plan to participate in IHWC Learn to Skate, Ice Show, Skating Clinics or Camps, or private skating lessons (no USFS tests), please follow the link to register with the USFS Basic Skills for the 2008-09 skating season. The fee is $8.50 and covers the cost of our curriculum, badges, tracking booklets, coaches training, sanctions for shows and competitions and more! The season is July 10-June 30. Please help do your part if you know your skater will be involved in any of our skating programs. Here is the registration link.
