2011-2012 Membership Information ** New Season begins on July 1, 2011
Dear PSC Skaters, Parents, Coaches, Officials and Friends:
The 2011-2012 season is quickly coming to an end. The past 12 months have been extremely busy, yet very exciting for our club. The Board of Directors would like to congratulate all our skaters on their accomplishments this past year. We had a number of skaters who participated at the Regional Championships and who qualified for Sectionals, Junior Nationals and US National Figure Skating Championships. Members who compete at this level are often offered financial support for Regional and National Competitions from the PSC. We are proud of all of you and encourage everyone to compete as a member of the Peninsula Skating Club. The Board would also like to extend our appreciation to our tireless volunteers for their time and commitment. Without you, we could not have accomplished what we did.
