This mailing list is for everyone interested in inline skating in and around the city of Houston, Texas. Just about any topic or question about inline skating can be discussed here.

The "big picture" purpose of this list is to help develop a vibrant community of Houstonians who enjoy inline skating as an integral part of a healthy, active lifestyle. We offer encouragement, skillbuilding, practical advice, and friendly camaraderie for skaters of *all* skill levels. We use this mailing list as a communication medium for sharing skating-related news, information, and advice, and for planning our group skates and other activities and general mischief. =D

If you're new to the group, please don't be shy... feel free to introduce yourself! (We *love* new people. =)

If you have any questions about the eGroup itself, please email the group admin (yours truly!) at {HoustonSk8-owner@yahoogroups.com}.
