GET UP 5K
Our Junior Board organized a group to run the USFS Get Up Virtual 5 K, in memory of the 1961 Worlds Team that was lost in a plane crash in Belgium, and to benefit the USFS Memorial Fund. Here are our runners, along with a few of us who completed our 5Ks earlier by skating or biking. Congratulations to everyone who participated!

NEW SEASON, NEW ICE - SUPER NICE!
NEW GOLD MEDALIST!
Congratulations to Sydney for passing her Senior Moves in the Field test! Her name will be added to the list of Andy Doy award recipients, and to the placque in the coaches room. In Memoriam: LARRY FISHER 1951-2020
The Figure Skating Club of the Quad Cities mourns the loss of long-time member Larry Fisher, who passed away on May 23. Larry was a warm and witty person who always had a smile for everyone. He followed his daughter Jessy onto the ice and became a valued member of our adult skating community, partnering with Karen Doy for many years in pairs and ice dance and competing on the River's Edge Open Adult Synchronized Skating Team. We will miss him terribly. Our deepest sympathies go out to his wife Janet and son and daughter Jon and Jessy.

JOHN DEERE MATCHING FUNDS
For those of you that have family members or friends that work at John Deere, we are pleased to share that FSCQC has now been set up in John Deere's volunteerism tool. This means that for John Deere employees who volunteer time with FSCQC (such as for shows, competitions, etc), the employee can submit those volunteer hours for the "John Deere Dollars for Doers" program, resulting in John Deere making a monetary donation to FSCQC. In addition, any John Deere employee that gives a monetary donation to the club can request John Deere "Matching Funds" resulting in a matching donation from Deere. Dollars for Doers funds and matching funds can be requested through the John Deere Volunteerism tool by selecting "Figure Skating Club of the Quad Cities." Pass this along to any John Deere employees you know that may want to help the FSCQC out!
