The Second Annual Skate-A-Thon has been scheduled for
Friday night, November
2, 2007; Mark Dirsa (dad of Spiral/Blades skater, Susie Dirsa) has been
busying planning fun events for this year's fundraiser -- wait to you hear
everything he had added and has planned -- it will be so much fun -- and our
generous Dad's Club has donated prizes for this event -- watch for further
information on the event, but save the date!!
The Skate-A-Thon is not a required event -- it is one way in which families
can raise money to be applied to the $100.00 per family fundraising
requirement; the idea behind the Skate-A-Thon is that i is an event in which
the skaters have to do the work -- unlike many other fundraisers where the
parents do all of the work -- it keeps the skaters involved -- and they are
so proud once they finish skating -- comments like, "Wow, that was fun -- I
didn't know I could skate that many laps!" were heard last year -- Parents,
you will be amazed at how many laps they can skate once they know they are
earning money for each lap skated!!
