SHEILA THELEN CLINIC
We were absolutely thrilled to have a clinic with Sheila Thelen on February 3rd! She worked with our skaters both on and off the ice, and trained us in the use of our new off-ice harness. Thank you so much, Sheila! And a huge shout-out to Coach Ferelith, who organized this wonderful clinic for us! Thanks also to our John Deere employee sponsors! We used our Benevity funds to purchase the harness! |

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!
