It's
Time to Renew your Membership!
REMINDER: It’s time to renew your
membership for the 2009-2010 Season!! If you / your skater plans to skate
at all over the summer, the membership must be renewed before it expires
on June 30, 2009. If you are not skating over the summer, you can renew
at the Fall Registration night in August.
Graduated Seniors – don’t forget
about the Collegiate Membership – it’s a great, and inexpensive way to
keep up your USFS membership, keep getting Skating Magazine, and allows
you unlimited Drop-In privileges on Berkley Club Ice when you are home
on breaks!
Fall Registration Night Scheduled
Mark August 27th on your calendars. Fall Registration will be held
at the Berkley Community Center this year (this is a change from the past
few years!) Registration will be open from 6-8pm. Ice Show
Information will be available for pickup. We are also hoping to have
Lynn Martin there to take measurements for anyone who wishes to order a
custom costume for the upcoming competition season.
A Note about the 09-10 Season
It is more important than ever that parents get involved with the BRBFSC
board. We have a lot to accomplish this year to attempt to save the
investment the City of Berkley made 34 years ago. ALL board meetings
are open to ALL members. Your opinion, your voice, matters!
The meetings generally take place the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the
Huntington Woods Rec Center. If you plan to attend, and wish
to confirm the date/time/place of the meeting - email our president,
Christine Trimpe.
Huntington Woods Garage Sale
Thanks to all the families who donated items for sale, and who volunteered
to work at the Garage Sale in May. A special thank you to the
Anderson family, who donated the use of their home for the garage sale!
This fundraiser brought in over $600!
Car
Wash
Put JULY 18 on your calendars! BRBFSC will be holding a Car Wash at O'Mara's. Hoses, buckets,
sponges and towels will all be needed (as well as car washers!) This
is a great fundraiser for the kids to get involved in - and will start
earning your points for volunteerism/fundraising for the 09-10 season!
Congratulations
Cal Carson - dad of alumni Meredith Carson, and former president of BRBFSC
was recently elected president of Metro Council!
Metro Council is an
association of area figure skating clubs that works for the benefit of all
area clubs. Cal has been our delegate to Metro Council ever since
his presidential term ended. Although no longer a board member at
BRBFSC, he is still an active participant at board meetings, especially in
his role as Metro Council Delegate. Way to go Cal!
Welcome!
BRBFSC welcomes Craig Joeright as
the new Learn to Skate and Ice Show Director at the Berkley Ice Arena.
Craig has lots of energy and new ideas for the upcoming season!

08-09 Season Tribute Video
Once again, Meghan Steingold has created a great video tribute to the
members of BRBFSC for the 2008-2009 Season. This is one of the
videos that was shown at the BRBFSC banquet.
A second video tribute to our nine graduating seniors. I believe
that this was created by Morgan Anderson:
New Club Warm-Ups and Sweatshirts!
Look for some of our skaters sporting the new club warm-ups and
sweatshirts!! What a great Christmas gift idea for your skater!
See Deb Colling for more information.
Order Blades for the
Test Display
If your skater has recently begun testing, and you would
like to add them to the blade case, complete the order form and leave it
with the Ice Monitor. See Trudy Calder for more information.
Virtual Test
Display
We've taken the Blade Display at the Arena, and placed it online!
If you would like to order blades for the actual display at the
arena, please contact Trudy Calder for more information (see
information above).

online!
We Prefer CHECKS!
For drop in cards, or dropping in on sessions, BRBFSC prefers checks!
Checks are more secure, and make it easier for us to reconcile payments.
If you have no other form of payment, we will take cash, accompanied by a
gentle reminder that we prefer checks!
Cookbooks are still
available! With over 200 recipes, the cookbook
"Lutz Get Cooking with the Berkley Royal Blades" makes a great gift!
Get your copies now for $10 each! You can pick up cookbooks
from Lisa Anderson, Sandy Engman, Charlene Haines or Kate Griswold
at the rink - between the four of them, there should be cookbooks
available at the rink every night we skate. We ask that you
please pay for the cookbooks as you take them to assist our
recordkeeping!
