**Wichita Figure Skating Club Inc**  
The **Wichita Figure Skating Club Inc** (WFSC) is a nonprofit figure skating organization based in Wichita, Kansas. Established in 1932, it became a full member of the United States Figure Skating Association (now U.S. Figure Skating) in 1941 and was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1946[1]. The club operates under a mission to promote instruction, practice, and advancement in figure skating disciplines while fostering camaraderie among members and aligning with U.S. Figure Skating policies[1][2].

**History**  
Founded during the Great Depression, WFSC endured challenges common to early skating clubs, including rink instability. Key figures like Maribel "Mickey" Leiter, founder of Kansas on Ice Inc., helped secure city-donated land for the Wichita Ice Center, which became the club's permanent home after its 1996 opening[3]. Leiter, the first national-level judge from Kansas, was recognized in 2017 for 55 years of service[3]. Longtime member Robert "Bob" Boroughs, honored in 2022 for 50 years of judging and board service, contributed to club continuity[3].

**Facilities and Programs**  
WFSC operates at the Wichita Ice Center, featuring NHL- and Olympic-sized rinks[5]. The club hosts annual events such as the Mid-Continent Classic competition[2], alongside periodic U.S. Figure Skating test sessions in skills, singles, and dance disciplines[2]. Coaching programs and learn-to-skate initiatives are offered through partnerships with facility instructors[2][5].

**Competitive Impact**  
The club has hosted regional and sectional competitions, leveraging its dual-rink facility to accommodate large-scale events[1]. Alumni include skaters who transitioned to adult competition representation in other clubs while maintaining ties to WFSC[3].
