Mandatory Volunteer Requirements or Service Levy: Per Florida Everblades Figure Skating Club membership rules, each FEFSC member (except Associates, Judges, Officials, Professionals, and Sponsors – although their help is never turned down!) is required to fulfill volunteer requirements for the Florida Everblades Figure Skating Club during the membership period of July 1st through June 30th. Members, or family members of the members, must volunteer a minimum of 10 hours per year, some of which must be a minimum of one shift during our Annual Paradise Coast Classic Competition. The remainder of the hours may be served during the Paradise Coast Classic, during either of our Shows or at another event. We will give many opportunities for hours to be fulfilled! While not preferred by the club, those families who wish to have the volunteer hour requirements waived must pay a fee of $250 at the beginning of the membership year. This option can be found in the "Merchandise" tab in your membership account. Volunteer hours not served by the end of the fiscal year (July 1st) will be assessed a charge of $25 per hour. Any monies received in lieu of volunteer hours will go into the general fund and will be put towards club expenditures including judges' travel expenses, food for events, ice time, coaching fees for shows, etc. Florida Everblades Figure Skating Club relies on its volunteers to keep our costs at a minimum. Any spare time that members and their families can donate will help to ensure the continued growth and success of our club. We appreciate all your help and look forward to a wonderful year! There are many areas of service in which to contribute your hours. We understand that calendars and circumstances change, and you may be able to help more later in the year. We will be sending out emails and Facebook reminders asking for volunteers throughout the year. Remember, many hands make light work! ** As allowed by our Bylaws, if this volunteer requirement is not met nor the monetary service levy paid, the Member is subject to a “poor standing” status and certain privileges (i.e.: testing, seminars, etc.) may be denied and/or membership will be subject to non-renewal. ** And reported to USFSA per their request. |
