Dear Fans, Family, and Friends,

Happy New Year!

The Ithaca League of Women Rollers, more commonly known by their team
name, the SufferJets, is recruiting referees for their second season of
hootin' and hollerin' sporty ROLLER DERBY fun!

* There are roles for skating refs as well as non-skating refs.
* We can teach you the rules and teach you how to skate. No experience
required.
* Referee gigs are a great way to be involved with the derby league if
you: * are not a woman (refs can be of any gender), or * don't want to
fully commit to being a team skater, or *want to be involved but fear
injury.
* Being a referee requires less commitment. We only ask that you come to
practice occasionally (though you are always welcome!) and if possible,
just before any bouts you plan to ref in.
*No monthly dues or fees.

If you are interested, please e-mail the SufferJets at
info@... with REF in the subject line. Then we'll keep
you in the referee loop! If you know others that may be interested,
please forward this e-mail to them.
