Week of November 11, 2018

Good evening Blizzard families,
I am slowly moving through getting our club members registered in Speed Skating Canada's new Member Administration System (MAS). Apologies for the confusion if/when you are receiving emails from the MAS. Please rest assured that all your fees have been paid at the Blizzard registration night, you do not need to log in to the system to make any additional payments.

Its a big week for the PG Blizzard - our interclub competition is this coming Saturday. Keri McLeod is still looking for volunteers, if you are interested and available please contact Keri ASAP.

Mats are being moved to Kin1 on Friday night at 7:30pm. Many hands make light work - if you are available please come down to help get the mats ready for installation early Saturday morning.

1. BCSSA - CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP

The BCSSA announced earlier this week that the President has issued his resignation. BCSSA Vice President (and PG Blizzard President) Kari Rae will be transitioning into the leadership role over the next several weeks. Thank you and congratulations Kari Rae!

More information is available on the BCSSA website here:

2. FUNDRAISING

Purdys - due to a lack of interest the PG Blizzard will not be selling Purdys this year.

Operation Red Nose - ORN is in dire need of volunteers and they will donate funds to the club to anyone volunteering on behalf of the club. Please consider signing up.

Colibri - The Colibri bags are expected to be shipped later this week. We should receive them promptly, pending the shipment is not disrupted by Canada Post rotating strikes.

3. ICE SCHEDULE

A reminder that despite Monday, November 12th being a school holiday, the city facilities are open and therefore the Advanced Group ice will go ahead as regularly scheduled on Monday evening.

Tuesday November 20th skating for ALL GROUPS is cancelled. The ice is preempted due to the PG Minor Hockey Assn Skate-a-thon.

Have a great week!
