Skating Opportunity

Hi there:

We are definitely skating at the new rink in Westfall this Friday! Here are the details:

Friday, February, 29 from 1PM – 3PM , and EVERY Friday.
$5.00 per person (skate rental is included)
The rink is located next to Home Depot in Westfall.

The owner, Jay, is very affable and ready to work with us.  The more people we can get, the better the price will get.  It will stay at $5.00 for now, so tell your friends!

We Can bring our own music, games, etc.  It would only be open to homeschoolers.  It will be pay as you skate arrangement, with no money in advance or obligation to show.

Skating

We have been contacted by some other homeschoolers in the Milford area who are organizing a roller skating opportunity for homeschoolers only on Friday afternoons.

They are part of a very small group of home schoolers (about 20 including parents) who meet on an informal basis. Their group has kids from 14 years to 14 months! Most of them are in the 8-10 range

They recently contacted the owner of the new roller skating rink in Matamoras, next to Home Depot about hosting a home school session, and are wondering if members of LEAP would be interested in participating.

Quoting Lisa Williams:

“His current prices at $6.50 per session and $1.00 for skate rentals. However, he is willing to negotiate with us, and the more people we have who are interested, the lower we can possibly get the rate. Right now we have about 25 people, and I’m hoping to get him to let us in for $5.00 this week. I don’t think we have to guarantee a certain amount of people, but if we have an estimated number, we can use that to get the best price. It would definitely be pay as you can come. We are looking at having the session on Friday afternoons, from 1:30 to 3:30 or so, but that is negotiable. During the winter months, we would like to meet every Friday, but may scale back when the weather improves. During the winter months, we would like to meet every Friday, but may scale back when the weather improves. We can bring our own music, games, etc. We would prefer Christian music. The more the merrier, so share the information as the Lord leads. .”

Please reply to this email if you would like to go this Friday and with how many. In the future you can reply directly to Lisa, but for the first time, if everyone replies to me I will then forward a list to you all of who is going in case you are interested in who will be there from LEAP. Great opportunity to meet others in the area.
