Hello Skaters,

This is a reminder: I need to know if you plan to participate by **
12:00 today **.

If you attend, you WILL be on TV tomorrow morning.

If someone has an extra pair of woman's size 8 skates that Penny could
use, let me know.

We could use cones set up to give a demonstration, let me know if you
can bring them.

It would be nice to show some examples of the various kinds of skating:

- Dance
- Roller Derby
- Aggressive
- Recreational
- Speed

We will have time to show it all.

Be well,
Robert :~)
