Happy Spring!
 We hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather. With summer competition season approaching, we want to wish everyone competing the best of luck. We are hard at work planning the Chesapeake Open and hope that many members will want to compete. We will also need many volunteers; sign-up will be coming soon.
Our spring party, with our usual exhibition and season awards, will be at Mt. Pleasant on May 22, 6:20-8:10 p.m. Exhibition sign-ups are available at the rink during club sessions or contact info@baltimorefigureskatingclub.com. The club will provide pizza and beverages.
Prior to the party, at 5:15 p.m., we will have an open house for our high school program. All current 8th graders and high school students interested in joining the program next season are invited to attend.
Coming Soon: Chesapeake Open
 Registration for the 2022 Chesapeake Open, June 22-25 at The Gardens Ice House, is now live on USFS EMS at https://m.usfigureskating.org/competition/30425?id=30425 (requires USFS member login). Deadline to register is May 15. We hope that many members will want to compete. As in the past, we are offering events in freestyle, dance (partnered and solo) and Basic Skills. We will again be part of the USFS Solo Dance Series. We will also need many volunteers for ice monitoring, hospitality, registration and awards.
