Internet Website: http://www.duluthfsc.org 218-590-1710 The purpose of the Duluth Figure Skating Club (DFSC) is to encourage instruction, practice, and advancement of its members in any or all of the disciplines of figure skating; to encourage and cultivate a fraternal spirit amongst figure skaters; and to carry out the general policies and objectives of United States Figure Skating (USFS), the governing body of amateur figure skating in the United States. The DFSC is devoted to developing the potential of each club member. The DFSC is a non-profit organization sanctioned under USFS. (To learn more about USFS, visit their website at http://www.usfs.org.) A portion of each DFSC member’s dues is forwarded to USFS for enrollment. This enrollment entitles the member to participate in any USFS- sanctioned competition, take any USFS test, and receive a copy of Skating magazine (published monthly by USFS). The DFSC is governed by a board of directors with a president, a vice president, a secretary, a treasurer, and eight directors. An election is held in the spring of each year, with one-third of the board elected or re-elected annually. The board establishes basic policy and protocols of the club. These are updated as needed. Board meetings are held monthly (the third Wednesday of the month) and are open to the general membership. A DFSC club member must comply with the club bylaws, rules, and regulations. In addition, membership carries with it the following responsibilities: assisting in the operation of the concession stand at the learn-to-skate program; working at the annual Northland Competition; and assisting with dress sales, the annual ice show, and other activities. A parent or adult (over18 years of age) must assume these responsibilities. A DFSC member will have the ability to purchase club ice throughout the year. This ice will enable the skater to receive personal attention and private instruction, which will allow the skater to improve his/her skills. Any coach utilized by the member on club ice must be pre- approved by the board of directors. DFSC membership also entitles the member to participation in the DFSC synchronized skating team and the annual DFSC ice show. The colors of the DFSC are blue, green, and white. The symbol of the club is three pine trees on a rendition of school figures. 4 2015-2016 DFSC BOARD OF DIRECTORS Position Name Contact Term Expires 715-392-1159 President Jeff Cushman March 2016 [email protected] 218-390-7373 Vice President Jeff Manion March 2018 [email protected] Secretary – Northland 218-590-6041 Kathy Jensen March 2016 Co-Chair [email protected] 218-721-3343 Treasurer - Billing Agent Cindy Sund March 2018 [email protected] Board Member Corey Bonneville [email protected] March 2017 Board Member – 218-626-9678 Teri Kautz March 2018 Northland Co-Chair [email protected] Board Member Laura Kircher [email protected] March 2017 218-729-0472 Board Member Cora Knutson March 2016 [email protected] 715-218-0394 Board Member Debbie Lorenz March 2017 [email protected] Board Member Jennifer Martinelli [email protected] March 2017 218-390-3403 Board Member Amber Pickar March 2016 [email protected] 612-801-7386 Board Member Jason Wick March 2018 [email protected] Any parent of a DFSC skater or any DFSC adult skater who is interested in serving on the board of directors should make such interest known to an existing board member or officer.
