Elections for the 2008-2009 CCSC Board had some big changes for the club.
Kevin Elvin: After 13 years of service to CCSC (which inspired the "Kevin Elvin Award" given out each year at the Central Carolina Skating Classic), Kevin steps down from the board. It would be impossible to list the important contributions that Kevin has given to CCSC. A huge thank you to Kevin for all the hard, endless work, valuable knowledge, and awesome inspiration he's given these years. Most of us can't begin to realize just how many hours Kevin has given, how many important ideas he's come up with to help make the club what it is today.
New President: Bonnie Boaz is staying on the CCSC Board as an officer (Treasurer) but will be replaced as President by Shelley Faucette. Bonnie is another original member of the club that has given so much and we're glad to have her take on the important responsibility as the club's treasurer. Thank you, Bonnie!
Kathy Ridpath: After only 4 years on the CCSC Board, three of those as Treasurer, Kathy Ridpath is stepping down from the board. Her daughter, Megan, is going off to Canada to train and will also be entering her second year of college so Kathy won't be spending much time near the ice as she transitions to an "empty nester."
New Officers and Board Members: The elections ushered in one new officer, Karen McClure, who will be the CCSC Secretary. Shelley Faucette steps in as President, Doug Scott will continue as Vice President, and Bonnie Boaz is shifting over to be the Treasurer. Two new board members were elected: Lorraine Reers (mom to Sarah Reers) and Becky Lenchek (mom to Aaron Lenchek and also an adult skater). All the best to the 2008-2009 CCSC Board!

10th Anniversary CCSC Fall General Membership Meeting
(Membership)
The CCSC Fall Membership Meeting was held on Sunday, November 6th, at the Occoneechee Steak House in Hillsborough, NC. This dinner meeting celebrated the club's 10th Anniversary. The room was packed with around 80 members and their families. The food was delicious with the three different types of cake being a big hit.
Mirko Mueller-Goolsbey was the guest speaker, encouraging the skaters to set goals and keep striving through even the hardest goals; to know that skating offered not only the opportunities to land big jumps and win competitions, but to also develop lifetime habits for success.
Kevin Elvin shared some history about the club's ten years and other board members gave reports.
Noel Greis reported on a new committee that is being formed to actively pursue seminars for all skaters in the club. Anyone interested in helping with this committee, either by joining or by offering seminar ideas, should contact Noel Greis.
Bonnie Boaz and Karen McClure asked members to consider some upcoming volunteer opportunities for Adult Eastern Sectionals and the Classic. Bonnie Boaz is in charge of volunteers for Adult Eastern Sectionals and Karen McClure is in charge of Advertising for both Adult Eastern Sectionals and the Central Carolina Skating Classic.
The final items on the meeting's agenda were the presentation of the Fran Jesel Award and the Test Medals. Check out More Photos from this event.
