Klamath Ice Sports is looking for some energetic, fun loving, hard working adults to join its team for the upcoming 2008/09 ice skating season.  Perhaps you have a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or family member who doesn’t know they would like a job at the ice arena!  Perhaps you yourself would like to join our team!

All employment opportunities at the ice arena involve some serious fun and some healthy outdoor exercise.  Bonuses for the assistant directors and supervisors include learning to ice skate and learning to drive the Olympia (Zamboni).  Work doesn’t get much more fun than that!
 
Please think about our request and contact us if you have someone in mind who just might be a great addition to our team.   Click on the following link to download a copy of our Employment Packet.  Completed applications may be mailed to Klamath Ice Sports, 5075 Fox Sparrow Drive, Klamath Falls, OR  97601 or faxed to (541) 850-5757.

Thanks to five industrious skaters, the HEAT YOUR SEAT fundraising campaign is $787 closer to its goal.  Three adults and two youth skated laps on Saturday, November 3rd to raise money to install a heating system over our bleachers.  Thank you Susan, Linda, Virginia, Riley, and Adrienne for your hard work and for your support.  The top prize in each category was a $150 credit towards lessons, leagues, or a private ice rental!  Riley earned a free field trip for his class at Pelican Elementary, too!

An additional $1214 has been raised through merchandise sales and ice show donations as of June 2008.

The heating system will cost in excess of $21,326 and $7,615 has been raised to date.  Avista Utilities has installed the natural gas pipeline and we thank them for their extremely generous donation; their donation is not included in the total cost of the project!  Our most recent grant to a Pacific Northwest Foundation was unsuccessful so we will need to work together to finish this campaign in time for the 2008/09 ice skating season!

 Thank you Darlin, Irina, Jozef, and all of the very talented amateur skaters for making our sixth annual ice show and special clinics such a huge success! 

Stay tuned for information about our Seventh Annual Figure Skating Spectacular!

Curling

The Olympic sport of Curling made its debut in Klamath at the Bill Collier Community Ice Arena on Saturday, November 17, 2007.  About one hundred future curlers of all ages attended and not only viewed a curling demonstration, but got to curl themselves.  FUN was had by everyone.  Rumor has it we have perfect ice for curling, too!

Will curling return to Klamath Falls?  We hope so!  Arnie Iwanick, the President of the Evergreen Curling Club is looking for some used ’rocks’ that we might be able to purchase at a discount.  It looks as if there aren’t any rocks to borrow, so we need to come up with about $3,000 to purchase used rocks and get our weekly curling sessions underway.  Donations are currently being accepted to fund the used rocks and the other necessary equipment.  A new set of rocks costs about $5,000…not to mention the cost of the brooms, the hacks, the sliders, and so forth.  Stay tuned for the rock report and the future of curling in Klamath Falls.  If you know of an individual or business who might be able to donate and help us get our curling program off the ground, please contact us!
