To the Fans of the SufferJets,

The SufferJets are ready to go on Friday! But man, we are already
Sufferin’. Our home derby debut is imminent. And yet, in the last week
we’ve had three of our key skaters go down. Some of you saw Momo hobbling
around on crutches recently; but pivot Mystique broke a hand bone at
practice last week which was operated on yesterday (she still hopes to
bout on Friday- what a gal!), and our own team co-captain and one of our
most valuable and versatile players, Chairman Meow, was carried out of
practice on Tuesday night. The Doctor says one of two things happened.
If A, then she will be rearin’ to bout in Rock City in July. If B, she
will never skate again.

It won’t be easy for the SufferJets to prevail over the Psycho Dolls with
too many new team members and not enough well-seasoned meat. Now, more
than ever, the SufferJets need your support. Send Chairman Meow a
get-well note. Buy Momo a drink if you see her hobbling your way. Open
all doors for Mystique; carry her groceries. You are fans aren’t you?
The good news is that a new supply of fresh meat is coming out to put on
skates. So come out on Friday for a glimpse of what players remain and
bring your sharpie so you can sign Chairman Meow’s new cast.

We are ready to rumble. After all, one (wo) man’s pain is another man’s
pleasure. Bringing roller derby to Ithaca has been a real labor of love &
we hope you're into derby as much as we are. Join us, support us in any
way, and make sure everyone in your circles knows about the big event on
Friday. Bring your lawn chairs. Cass Park Rink. 7 pm.

Cheers Fans,
Sarabellum
