>Hello Skate Club Leaders,
>
>This email is going out to 92 skate club leaders across the United States.
>I am emailing you to ask for your help in promoting a new skating initiative
>called FreeSkateLesson.com. This program was developed by Certified Inline
>Skating Instructors as a way to help the sport of inline skating. It is
>supported by the International Inline Skating Association and USA
>Rollersports and sponsored by Zephyr Inline Skate Tours.
>
>The basis of the program is that inline skating instructors across America
>will give away free lessons from March through June of 2003. The program
>will be supported by a national publicity campaign. The goals are to gain
>positive publicity for our sport and to, simply, create more skaters. If
>you have ever wondered what we in the grassroots of skating can do for our
>sport, now you have a concrete example. We know most of you don't need a
>lesson; however, we need your help to promote this program and make it a
>success. Here is what you can do to help:
>
>1. Visit www.FreeSkateLesson.com to see what the program is all about.
>
>2. Send an email about the FreeSkateLesson.com program to your friends
>(skating and non-skating), family, and skating acquaintances. Afterall, this
>is a free giveaway so people might appreciate knowing about it. I attached
>a sample email to the bottom of this text below the signature line. You can
>just forward this email and remove this higher part, leaving just the final
>paragraph.
>
>3. Include this information in your club newsletter or email list.
>
>4. Put a link on your homepage to the FreeSkateLesson.com site. I have
>attached a logo (and press release) that you can use, which could be
>supplemented by a few words such as "Get a Free Inline Skate Lesson". I
>realize web space is scarce but this is how we will spread the word about
>the program and get ranked higher on search engines.
>
>
>If you have any questions about the program, please email me directly. If
>this email did not appropriately go to you, I apologize; please let me know
>so I can update our contact list. In fact, I would love to hear from you
>anyway to find out what you think about our FreeSkateLesson.com effort.
>
>On behalf of skating instructors across the United States, we appreciate
>your help!
>
>Sincerely,
>
>Allan Wright
