Old Business
- Bay State Games: CVSC skaters had an excellent experience at Bay State Games—the
camaraderie was tremendous! Photos to

- Professionals’ Liaisons: no report/questions.
- Officials’
Liaison: Nick Bond has been appointed a
regional technical controller! Hurray!
- Test Chair:
Test session on March 9 is drawing more outside testers than club members.
- Team
Reports
- VCTI Festival update: we have 11 participating teams and 18
starts. The Festival is shaping up well. The team is helping at Leddy’s Costume Party
on Ice.
- OTI: OTI’s snack bar fundraiser earned over $250 and a second one is
coming up. Programs are developing well.
New Business
- Annual Banquet: Should we consider moving away from Colchester High School? Jillian described the fancy club banquets of
her childhood in the club. Decided to
keep at Colchester HS for this year; may explore other options for the future.
- Leddy spring ice: Leddy is offering possibility of spring ice that would be run via
Leddy. Discussion of pros/cons of
splitting spring ice between Leddy and Cairns.
Could explore having parent monitors at Leddy ice. Sense of the table is
that for Spring 2020 we will book more ice via Leddy (details about ice
monitoring to be worked out).
- CVO/Regionals update:
- CVO
(July 6 and 7) announcement is almost done and officials are being recruited. May change the date for 2020 because the 4th
of July is on a Friday—we may explore moving it to first weekend in August.
- Regionals:
Johnny is reaching out to people to secure an advisory and organizing
committee.
- Website and social media: Johnny will be having a conversation with a club parent about a
future vision for our website. A CVSC Instagram account will be forthcoming.
- Governing Council: Vicki Hildebrand
will be our club representative at Governing Council. Donna Zarro reported that USFS is considering
a move to single-panel judging (Canada already does this).

unanimous consent, at 7:34.
