have already been held. It seems as though coaches have been utilizing all forms of information about the changes to help their skaters succeed and make a smooth transition with the changes. District Championships will be held at the Homewood Flossmoor Ice Arena. Tere will be a few new things added to this year’s Championships. First, each rink will be able to nominate one competitor for a Good Sport Award. Second, the District 8 board will be hosting two parent informa- tion meetings at the competition. Tese meetings will cover three topics: how judging works, ISIA Education Foundation Scholarship information and 2015 ISI Worlds. We hope that these will be a successful addition and will continue to be offered in years to come. Most of our rinks are in full planning for their annual
shows that are a highlight for the skaters and the rinks as well. Planning for Worlds in our district is in progress. We hope
that the other districts are excited to be coming to Chicago. We realize early planning leads to success for everyone.

2014 was a good year for District 11. Many rinks from our district participated in the ISI Synchro Champs, Worlds and Adult Champs. We are hoping for even more national competitors in 2015. District 11 is very excited to be hosting the 2015 ISI Holiday Challenge at the Dr
Pepper StarCenter-McKinney, Texas Dec. 4-6. Learn-to-skate classes returned after the winter holiday
