Volunteer opportunities abound at South Bay FSC. Please contact any board member to find out how you can help run the club. As the current board will need to be replaced for the next skating year, 2013-2014, we need new skater parents and club members to learn the tasks required to keep the club going strong. This includes for test sessions, membership, and the South Bay Open and recitals.

Scholarship information for skaters now available on the USFS website. There are several scholarships available, so check out the requirements and application deadlines. This is worth the time, skaters.
