Skate-A-Thon Fundraiser
It's time again for our Skate-A-Thon Fundraiser!  This is an easy way for our skaters to fundraise for the club, and WE NEED EVERY MEMBER to participate!  If every member raised $50 in pledges (that's just asking 10 people for a $5 pledge!) we'd raise over $1000!  So, spend some time this week asking 10 people to support you in the Skate-A-Thon - if you cannot skate, you can designate a skater to skate for you! 

Campus Martius Winter Blast
Thanks to the skaters and families that participated in the Winter Blast skating exhibitions at Campus Martius on Valentine's Day - the skaters were all a big hit with the crowds, and it was a great day for outdoor winter skating!  Photos of the participating skaters are posted in the sidebar!

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:

 

Club Warm-Ups and Sweatshirts!
New to the BRBFSC?  Has your skater grown?  See Deb Colling to order new Club Wear for this season!

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.  

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).  Click here to view the Blade Display 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!

Competition Results
Check the competition page for the latest results from our club skaters!  Great Job everyone!

 
We are a USFSA sanctioned non-profit organization
for the sole purpose of promoting and encouraging
skaters in single, pair and team skating.
