Klamath Ice Sports is looking for some energetic, fun loving, hard working adults to join its team for the upcoming 2008/09 ice skating season.  Perhaps you have a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or family member who doesn’t know they would like a job at the ice arena!  Perhaps you yourself would like to join our team!

All employment opportunities at the ice arena involve some serious fun and some healthy outdoor exercise.  Bonuses for the assistant directors and supervisors include learning to ice skate and learning to drive the Olympia (Zamboni).  Work doesn’t get much more fun than that!

The Bill Collier Community Ice Arena closed for the skating season on Sunday evening, March 30th.  We would like to thank everyone who skated with us for fun and fitness this past season.  We had a terrific time and hope you did as well!

Our skating family continues to grow each year and we are grateful for not only our skaters but the continued support of our many wonderful volunteers. 

Call us if you would like to have an ‘off season’ event at our arena…otherwise we will see you on Friday, November 7th when we open for the 2008/09 season.

 The Bill Collier Community Ice Arena is the perfect place for your summertime event!  Weddings, reunions, church gatherings, catered dinners, and other special events.  Call us today at (541) 850-5758 for more information.

Thanks to five industrious skaters, the HEAT YOUR SEAT fundraising campaign is $787 closer to its goal.  Three adults and two youth skated laps on Saturday, November 3rd to raise money to install a heating system over our bleachers.  Thank you Susan, Linda, Virginia, Riley, and Adrienne for your hard work and for your support.  The top prize in each category was a $150 credit towards lessons, leagues, or a private ice rental!  Riley earned a free field trip for his class at Pelican Elementary, too!

An additional $1154 has been raised through merchandise sales and ice show donations as of March 2008.

The heating system will cost in excess of $21,326 and $7,555 has been raised to date.  Avista Utilities has already installed the natural gas pipeline and we thank them for their extremely generous donation; their donation is not included in the total cost of the project!  Let’s raise the rest of the money and get that heating system installed!

 Thank you Darlin, Irina, Jozef, and all of the very talented amateur skaters for making our sixth annual ice show and special clinics such a huge success!
