We would also like to congratulate the Jade Blades and the Ice Gems on their outstanding results! All three of these teams surpassed the 1,000 mark! This is such a huge accomplishment! Congrats to you all!
We broke all of our previous records, collecting 4,049 items and collecting $740 in donations!

Special thanks to Gregg Robinson, Stacy Felps, Paula Grogg and Erica Grogg for being the researchers & authors of our Trivia Night questions!

Our club sincerely thanks all of the contributions received by our community supporters and to our "webmasters" Heather Hyatt and Heather Dirksen for making sure they are properly recognized on our website.

SPFSA members again have the opportunity to skate on Club Ice at discounted rates. There are two sessions on Thursday evenings. The sessions begin at 6:30PM and 7:30PM.
For all Club Ice information and news, please be sure to check the Club Ice/Freestyles page!
Membership Forms
The current membership year is July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012. All current membership forms are available here, as well as in the rink lobby. Join now to begin taking advantage of the benefits of being an SPFSA member!
Renew your St. Peters Figure Skating (SPFSA) membership and your United Skates Figure Skating (USFS) membership. You will find that SPFSA has again kept their membership fees the same. Unfortunately, you will find that U.S. Figure Skating has increased their fees.
Thank you to all of our volunteers that make this club run more efficiently, we appreciate all of the help that we have received this past year. As a member of the club, we expect each family to volunteer a minimum of 15 hours per club year. Volunteering includes competitions, test sessions, board positions/meetings, food donations and any other volunteer opportunities requested by the board of SPFSA. (Note: Ice shows are sponsored by the Rec-Plex, not the club) If you meet your goal of 15 volunteer hours per club year, your volunteer commitment fee will be credited to next year’s volunteer commitment. Please look on the bulletin board to see how much you have volunteered and the amount of your credit that should be applied to this year’s volunteer commitment. Please note: The amount of volunteer hours and deposit amount may change next year. If you do not meet your volunteer commitment, the fee will be retained by the club (SPFSA).
Each time you volunteer please remember to turn in a volunteer report form so that your hours may be accounted for. If you are donating food items, you will be advised as to what equals one volunteer hour. Just signing up does not meet your commitment; you must turn in the forms. Team activities do not count toward your volunteer commitment.
Please return the membership application along with the Waiver and Release of Liability agreement with your membership fee. You may place your application in the SPFSA box mounted on the wall in the North Rink lobby.
SPFSA Dad's Club
Calling all Dads! Join the SPFSA Dad's Club! The primary purpose of the club is to support the SPFSA in anyway we can, primarily with fundraising and public relation projects. We want to get all the dads involved to get to know each other better and have some fun! Some ways to participate may include future fundraising events such as another mouse race, trivia night, maybe a golf tournament or a BBQ.
Questions? Please contact Gregg Robinson. Moms, please forward this to your husbands or better yet, send their e-mail information to Gregg, he’ll do the rest!
