GravityGlide® Clinic
On Saturday, July 13, our adult skaters participated in a 4-hour GravityGlide® workshop presented by Sissel Svanöe Rhyme. We had classroom instruction in the anatomy of our bodies and our skate blades, and on-ice instruction in how to move effortlessly and efficiently on our blades in gravity. We all had "Aha!" moments throughout the day, and Sue Schwaegler completed her certification as a GravityGlide® coach. |

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!
