welcome you back for another fabulous roll through the wine country as we

This is shaping up to be the largest gathering of skaters we have ever had in
the Napa Valley. Due to popular demand, we are working to get lodging in San
Francisco and bus transportation to Napa and back for the races for people
interested in staying in San Francisco while skating in the Napa Valley. We are
busy every day getting more businesses and wineries involved Please stay tuned
as more details are developing..

We're about to roll out an entirely new effort as we roll into the 2007 season.
The California Outdoor Rollerskating Association is about to break out of it
cocoon as there have been a lot of changes going on. These changes will mark
the a new beginning in the evolution of outdoor roller skating and inline
skating in the San Francisco area and beyond. I hope you all want to be a part
of it, but that is not all...

This is a call for skaters everywhere, not just in San Francisco, that want to
be a part of a creating an alliance among skaters all over the country to help
promote and grow the sport we love. The Skaters' Alliance is being born. What
it is and how it works is going to be entirely up to you who have enough love of
the sport and faith in the future to do the hard work of organizing and bringing
direction. We have set up a list serve message group at
SkatersAlliance@yahoogroups.com Go and join the group. Let's talk. Let's
create the future.
