VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT (Required)

 

I have been informed of and understand Valley Figure Skating Club’s policy requiring each family to perform twenty-five (25) volunteer hours.  (NOTE:  Limited Synchro Membership and Associate Members are required to perform 10 volunteer hours for the VFSC). I know that volunteer opportunity information will be available on the bulletin boards at the ice arenas, or online at our club website (www.vfsclub.com), and/or by contacting the VFSC Volunteer Coordinator, Board Members, and/or Committee Chairs (names and phone numbers to be posted at the ice arenas and/or on the club website).  It is MY responsibility to contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Board Members and/or Committee Chairs to arrange my (or members of my family) volunteer hours. 

 

The VFSC 2008-09 Volunteer Coordinator is Kendra Weindling – (920) 731-2246.

 

Twenty-five (25) hours of volunteer time must be fulfilled before June 30, 2009.  I understand that unfulfilled volunteer hours will be charged to my account at a rate of $10.00 per hour and I (or members of my family) will not be considered Members in Good Standing unless and until any such charges are paid.

 

A Member in Good Standing is required status for participation in all USFS sanctioned competitions, testing, ice show participation and synchronized participation.

FUND RAISING COMMITMENT

 

Mandatory Fundraising- Mandatory fundraising will go into effect July, 1, 2008.

This is MANDATORY FOR ALL FULL VFSC members.  Each family will be required to:

 

o         Fundraise $125 per year (July 1 to June 30)

o         Sell one business ad in the ice show (as noted above) or competition program OR $25 in additional fundraising.

o         All fundraisers will be included.  Amount of monies to be applied against your $125 commitment will be determined by the specific fundraiser and will equal the PROFIT that VFSC receives from the organization.  Therefore, this is NOT based on sales – it is based on PROFIT to VFSC.

o         No prizes will be given for fundraisers except for Hanson’s (which they supply) and the top seller award.

o         Fundraising above $125 can be used toward your ad commitment or towards your volunteer hours commitment.

If you have any questions regarding the amount that you have fundraised, please contact our Fundraising Coordinator, Deb Sawin at (920)205-0285    or dsawin@new.rr.com

 

I have been informed of and understand Valley Figure Skating Club’s policy regarding Mandatory Fundraising and if I do not raise the above amount, I understand that I will be liable to pay the remaining portion in order to remain in good standing with VFSC and USFS as noted above in the Volunteer Commitment Section.

MUSIC MONITORING (Required)

 

Every member who is using club ice, either contracted or as a walk-on, will be required to play music a specified number of times during each contract period.  The number of required hours will be determined by the number of hours in each contract and the number of skaters using the ice.

 

            EXCEPTIONS: 

1.       Board members are not required to play music, but can if they would like to.

2.       Members who never use club ice, even as a walk-on, will not be required to play music, but they can if they would like to use it as a way to earn some volunteer hours.  HOWEVER, if a skater’s family does not sign up to play music, and their skater does use club ice even one time, they will be required to play music during the next contract period, even if they are not planning on using club ice during that contract.

 

Prior to the beginning of each contract period, the volunteer coordinator will contact all club members via e-mail to let them know how many hours they are required to sign up for during the upcoming contract period.  You may sign up for more hours than required if you want to use this as a way to get your volunteer hours.  Members will be given the opportunity to sign up for the hours they prefer on a “first come, first served” basis. 

 

After all members have been given an opportunity to sign up, those who have not signed up will be filled in randomly to complete the schedule.  The volunteer coordinator does not have the contracts when doing this, so there is no way to guarantee that members will be assigned to sessions that their skater is skating.

 

The volunteer coordinator will make every effort to schedule members as evenly as possible so that one family does not have more of a burden than any other family.  Frequently, the number of hours needed and the number of skaters using club ice will not be exactly even, but the volunteer coordinator will try to even it out as much as possible throughout the year.  Each family will be expected to play music equally to all other families, regardless of how many skaters they have in their family or how often their skaters use club ice.

 

POLICY REGARDING “NO SHOWS” for Music Monitoring:

 

1.  If a parent doesn't show up for their assigned session AND if their skater is on the ice, the skater will be asked to leave the ice by a board member, in order to act as music monitor for that assigned session. If the skater is not familiar with playing music, one of the board members on site, will educate the skater. For contracted skaters, this missed session CAN NOT be made up.

2. If a parent doesn't show up for their assigned session AND the skater is NOT on the ice, the member will be billed $20.00 for not showing up. The member will be responsible for paying this fee in full or they will not remain in good standing with the VFSC. A member not in "good standing" has unpaid, past due bills and is not allowed to walk-on or contract ice until their bill is paid in full.

3. Notification: Kathy McCord will be the Board Member responsible for contacting the assigned family to notify them of the situation. She will contact the family either via email and/or phone. If you have any questions, please contact Kathy via phone at 216-1254 or email kjm1@new.rr.com

 

 

Please contact the volunteer coordinator with any questions you have regarding this requirement.
