When worlds collide: Sonny to be honored by the Texas Rollergirls

Hey!!!

Sonny has been given the honor of being the celebrity whistle blower at the Texas Rollergirls bout next Saturday on May 19! We would love to have a Texas Speed Club section at the bout to cheer him on. If you have never seen the Texas Rollergirls play, this will be a great bout to watch – the all star Texecutioners will be taking on Rose City/Portland’s Wheels of Justice. There will also be an early bout with the brand new B team, the Firing Squad!

Please let me know ASAP if you would like to attend this bout – we can get discounted tickets for $10 from the Texas Rollergirls until Monday 5/14, but we need a head count. After that, you will still be able to get tickets online or at the door. It is a family-friendly event and kids under 12 years old are always free! For more information, you can visit their website:
Texas Rollergirls

I am also looking for a volunteer to work a table for the Texas Speed Club. This volunteer will get in free and stay at the booth to sell t-shirts, stickers, and give out information about our club.

Please email me at : wensalome@gmail.com to RSVP for the bout AND to let me know if you can work our booth that night (from about 4:30-9:30 or so).

Thanks!!!

Get a Grip! Part 2 – NO PRACTICE MONDAY 4/16

Great news! Instead of coming to the rink to skate on Monday 4/16, we would love for you to join us an come help lay down plastic to prepare for our big meet!!!

We need volunteers to come help roll the plastic on (preferably grown ups! – the fumes aren’t great for the kiddos) – please let Wendy or Sonny know if you can make it to help on Monday. We hope to get started around 4 PM and it usually takes several hours, so even if you can’t come until 5 or 5:30, we would love to have you!

Catch Wendy or Sonny at practice on Wednesday so we know you are coming!

Also – if you have not already, please sign up to bring items and work the snack bar at our meet – Friday 4/20 and Saturday 4/21 – we need all the help we can get!!!

Help Help Help Help! Our big meet is around the corner!

The Texas Stampede is about 3 weeks away and we have lots to do to get ready for it!!!

Texas Speed Club runs the Snack Bar during the meet as a fundraiser for our club. We will need a LOT of help – all members will be asked to bring items for us to sell. We also need volunteers to take shifts working in the snack bar. If anyone is willing to help with coordinating the food and volunteers, please contact Wendy at wensalome@gmail.com.

If you would like to bring any used gear to the Texas Stampede to try and sell it, Cindy Reynolds can help! Please put your gear in a plastic bag and label it with your name, your price, and a phone number. Cindy will have a table at the meet to sell these items – she will take out $5 per item sold to go back to Texas Speed Club.

Last call for uniform/gear orders – I have had almost no response to this order – this will likely be the last order before Nationals, so please place your orders now so you’ll be all set up for Lincoln! Contact Wendy with questions or to place an order!
