Hey there roller derby fans -
Even though it's going to be a while before there's another bout to look forward to, we promised there would be some upcoming events. And there are! This coming Sunday, in fact, is the first - a good old fashioned roller skating party at our favorite roller rink. Doesn't that sound like fun?
Come on - you know you wanna. So do it! Come out and skate with your Derby City Rollergirls this Sunday, November 18th, from 6-8pm at Treo Roller Rink (721 Gagel Ave.). DCRG is holding their first annual Skatie Hawkins Skate Party, so this is your chance to come steal a dance with your favorite rollergirl! For only $5 (or $3 with a canned product), you can share the rink with Louisville's own roller derby stars. All ages are welcome, and remember, skate at your own risk!
Also coming up, DCRG will be skating in the Light Up Louisville Parade on Friday, November 23rd (the day after Thanksgiving). The parade starts at 4pm downtown - we'll have to update you later with the exact route and any further details. But put it down in your calendar now!
And... save the date for our second annual Christmas bash, Friday, December 7th, from 9pm - 2am at the Monkey Wrench. We'll be holding another GIANT raffle with tons of prizes, DJ Kim Sorise will be in the house, and yes, the wildly popular musical chairs will be back!!! Last year's was quite a doozy, as some of you will remember (or maybe not!), and this year's promises to be even more off the hook! More details coming soon.
One last thing, on a more serious note. Thanks so much to all who have so far donated to the Injured Skater Fund, to help out Raquel Squelch and future injured skaters. We still have 12 days left on our fundraising drive, and we're almost half way to our goal of $1000. If you haven't thrown $10 or $20 (or more!) into the pot yet, please consider doing so in the next 12 days so that we can make sure Squelchy's bills are paid and we have a little nest egg for the next rollergirl who goes down.
The donation page is here: https://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2007-10-30.9989250161. No money will be collected until we reach our goal, so help us get there!
OK, I think that's it for now. See you this Sunday!!
