COVID-19 Pandemic Impact to Club Events
Following guidance from US Figure Skating Association (USFS) in regards to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the club has either cancelled or postponed its activities to ensure that the health and well-being of our athletes, members and figure skating community continue to be paramount.

Official local and federal guidance on the COVID-19 pandemic below:

• Virginia Department of Health – Coronavirus
• Center for Disease Control and Prevention – Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Per the Governor of Virginia Executive Order 55, a state wide stay at home order is in effect until 6/10, supplementing Governor of Virginia Executive Order 53 also in effect for all non-essential businesses (including ice rinks) to stay closed until 4/24.

The 2020 Cardinal Classic competition scheduled from 4/17 to 4/19 at PWIC has been officially cancelled. We hope to see you in 2021!

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the president@scnv.org for further assistance.

Congratulations!

We had 8 skaters that represented SCNV! Way to go all! Congrats to Natalie Zelkin, Talib (Aleem) Aleem, Jessica O’Hara, Pouria Javaheri, Alyson Fligg, Laura Rogers, Julie Moore, and Alexandra Williams!
Until we see each other again, stay healthy and safe!

Annual Banquet News – now 8/9
We have rebooked the Annual Banquet to Sunday, 8/9. And, we are anxious to get started on our video! Since most people are finding a little extra time on their hands these days, we ask that you take some time to look through your photos and short video clips from last year and email the best of them to Jessica at johara2010@gmail.com.

We like action shots, athletes and coaches, group shots, whatever sums up your year on the ice. If possible, please indicate in the email who is in each photo or video (or something along lines of ‘adult theatre team’ for large group photos). This will help us greatly.

We miss seeing you all at the rink. Until we can meet up again, please stay safe and healthy.

Test Session News
Both the 4/19 and 5/17 test sessions at PWIC and FIA respectively have been cancelled due to the Governor of Virginia Executive Order 55 for the COVID-19 pandemic. All future test sessions are on hold. Please contact the Test Session Chair at testchair@scnv.org with any questions.

Club Ice News
As part of our planning for the 2020-21 season, we are working on a subscriber feedback/club survey to learn what went well, what did not go so well (up to 3/16), and what areas the club can improve upon. Make your voice be heard! The club online survey to be released no earlier than 4/24.
