Check Policy
The WFSC Board has
adopted a new check writing policy, effective July 1, 2003. It reads as
follows:
Anyone bouncing two checks within a twelve-month period will be required to pay all monies due the club by either cash, money order or cashiers check for the following eighteen months. Any fees incurred by the club for bounced checks are passed on as well. A letter is given by the Treasurer stating the effective dates and must be signed. A copy of the letter is kept on file.
ANNUAL Welcome back HAYRIDE
Each year the club plans a welcome back Hayride. All skaters and families are encouraged to attend. It is a great way to get to know each other and make new friends. All skaters, family and friends are welcome to attend. The club provides soda, hot cocoa, and marshmallows for the bonfire, along with hot dogs and condiments. Everyone brings a dish to pass. When the board of governors approves annual details, information is then posted on the club board. Event is usually held during October. There is a minimal fee per person. Petting farm, Hayride, horse back riding, bonfire and more!
Warning: The last wagon of the hayride is the wild wagon. Always returns with NO HAY! Ride at your own risk! If you do not want to be rowdy, and throw tons of hay in a crazy fashion, ride in the wagon closest to the tractor! Wagon closest to the tractor is a NO THROWING wagon! Recommend for the little ones and parents!
