Darryl's Message

    Minto Skating Coordinator

    Darryl Van Luven - Skating Coordinator

    As the Skating Coordinator at the Minto Skating Club, I would like to once again welcome skaters for another exciting and successful year.

    I look forward to working with our members, coaches, and executive to continue to build strong programs that allow your skater to develop, progress, and have fun! 

    I want your child to be happy and successful at the Minto Skating Club and believe that you play a key role. That role is to continually show interest in and support for your child. The skater whose family is interested in their skating career will almost always enjoy success.

    I know our members have a diverse range of skills and competencies, that when brought together help to develop a dynamic and productive environment for our skaters that will extend Minto's successful history. That is why I am asking all parents to consider volunteering for the Club!

    Minto is always looking for parents to generously volunteer their time to join the board or a committee, and/or help out with various Club events.

    During the year we need your help with:

    • competitions,
    • banquets,
    • ice shows,
    • test days,
    • competition simulation days,
    • and other events.

    We also need help with:

    • marketing
    • communications
    • and perhaps most importantly, fund-raising

    Our club cannot run these important events for our skaters without you. All we need is a little bit of your time.

    Below is a list of different areas that you can volunteer for. 

    • Committees
    • Minto Skate Competition (July) and/or Club Competition (April)   
    • Ice Show (April)
    • Special events (banquet, send off parties, simulation sessions)   
    • Marketing   
    • Fundraising

    If there are other areas you would like to help, please contact Darryl and volunteer. 

    Sincerely,
    Darryl VanLuven
    Skating Coordinator – Minto Skating Club
