Meeting Location Change!! & **FUNDRAISER**!!

**LOCATION CHANGE**
The meeting will be at DAIRY QUEEN in Wasilla NOT Pandemonium.

Join us this THURSDAY
January 13th for our
Mat-Su Figure Skating Club monthly meeting and FUNDRAISER!!


The meeting will run in exactly the same manner EXCEPT it will not only be a meeting but a **FUNDRAISER** too.

DETAILS: The actual meeting will begin at 7:00pm and finish at 8:30pm as usual. However the FUNDRAISER will begin at 6:00pm and end at 9:00pm. If you would like to participate in the fundraiser I would encourage you to be there at 6:00 to take full advantage of the profits!

HOW IT WORKS: We will be doing a Dairy Queen Take-Over. Each club member in attendance will split the evenings profits based on how much time you spend at the fundraiser. (Example: If two club members arrive at 6pm and stay until 9 they will receive 2 portions of the total amount that the club earns.) There will be a sign in sheet to sign your members in so be early to get the best advantage!! All you have to do is enjoy your food and treats during the meeting, and DQ Grill & Chill ®^TM will contribute 10% of the total three hour sales to our group.

So invite your family and friends to dine at Dairy Queen and lets have a GREAT meeting and fundraiser!!

It's that time again...

Pictures from the Colony Christmas Days Parade!!

A HUGE thank you to everyone involved in making our 1st Annual Colony Christmas Days Parade a HUGE success!!! The parade started at 5:00 and we made our way down Main Street pulling our lighted wheeled Zuca bags, following our *glowing* ice skate. The girls, moms, dads and coaches had a great time handing out candy canes and info to the waving crowd. Then we drove our skate to the middle of town and set up shop selling hot cocoa, coffee, cider and an assortment of donated goodies to the fireworks spectators. We have definitely started a new MSFSC tradition and fundraiser. Here are a few pictures of our fun!

Colony Christmas Days Parade!!

Todays the Day!

We've been working really hard on our Mat-Su Figure Skating Club "Skate" float and are ready to show it off in Palmer.

Your invited to join us in the Colony Christmas Days Parade. Even if your not an official member we would still encourage you to come and support the MSFSC by walking with us. The club will be meeting at 4:30 at the Palmer Police Station, where the parade begins.

Please dress warm (snow pants, coats, hats, gloves, hand warmers, etc.) as this is a fairly long parade. We will be hanging our skates over our shoulders. If you have a ZUCA bag please bring that along too. Those with Zuca's will be pulling them as they walk.

***ALSO***

We have made a final decision on our team jackets!! If you would like to place a jacket order please contact Natasha Bowers. The order will be placed next week so we will need money and sizes as soon as possible. This is a photo of the styling of the jacket. The matching pants are also available.
