2009 will start a little quiet, with no programs, BUT you should go skate at Skate Barn until the weather clears up. We will be working on creating solid organizational structure, preparing to move into our new office at the Seattle Center, and will be looking for volunteers and recruiting board members for Skate Like a Girl. If you are interested in being part of 2009, please submit a letter of interest and a resume to us at skatelikeagirl@gmail.com.
