Weekly Class Updates
Happy New Year Skaters!
We are super excited to get back together after so many weeks off. We hope you’ve had a good break, and the new year has you excited about what is possible for your skating, for your family, and for your life.
Skate Journeys’ Admin Team (Tamara Sherry, Debbie Sumner, Marissa Peterson, Cindy P and myself (Trish)) have been meeting several times every week to build a foundation for Skate Journeys that allows us to adapt to our new location in Lynnwood Bowl & Skate, and to use staff to inject new ideas and fun into who we are and what we offer. We look forward to working with y’all as a TEAM to teach and transform lives through inline and roller skating. That is our mission, after all.

Fall Fundraiser Update
Fundraising update. A huge thanks to all of you who donated (and you still can as we’ve extended the FALL FUNDRAISER until January 10th. We just received a $10,000 donation from an anonymous person (and yes I was in tears when I saw it—so thank you so much) and just got a $2,000 donation from one of our instructor families. And the support of all of you with $2, 5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $200 and more combinations means that we are supported. Admittedly our base donations are down, and we are grateful for every penny, nickel and dime! THANK YOU AND YES, WE ARE SCREAMING IT!
Thank you! Trish & the SJ Team
