Through education, we are getting the community involved. As we ascend the curve, we are getting more involvement in many levels. Community involvement is vital to the arena and it doesn't take long for visitors to notice the volunteer help. If you look at the concessions area, all the counters and refrigerators were donated from the Swiss Colony. All the work done to maintain the facility is done by volunteers.
Volunteers do all the maintenance to the facility.
They mow the lawn in the summer, clean the facility, maintain the Zamboni and tend the concession stand along with any other necessary tasks. The families involved with the Monroe Hockey Association provide a majority of the volunteer help. Each family has to volunteer to help pay for ice time. Hockey families have donated 4,600 hours of volunteer time to run the facility. People from ages 5 to 85 help.
