Nancy, Steve and Dorothy we are in San Diego and have began the Journey to
prepare for the games.
We had our first practice at the event site yesterday and the kids are excited
and preparing to skate.
This site is a huge wood outdoor facility the home of Shawn White's olympic
champion skate bourders park. Not that we have seen him but a great boost for
the kids to know it is where he got his start and that his olympic joyrney
statrted here.
This is the Wednesday report.

Thank You For Your Generous Support!
Because of the tremendous support by local businesses and the community we have raised the funds necessary for the Team to compete at the California State Championships in San Diego! To celebrate this momentous event, the Marina Chamber is sponsoring a Marina Skate Team Send Off on Tuesday, July 6th, 2010 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at the Marina Skate Park and Teen Center Complex.
Our local skate team aged 7-15 earned the right to participate in the State of California Championship competition, which will be held at the YMCA Skate Park in Encinada. Winners from this competition qualify to participate in the United States Championship, which then qualifies them to compete in the Junior Olympics!
This would not be possible without YOUR support, the diligent work of City of Marina Recreation and Cultural Services Director Terry Siegrist, and Kelly Sorenson owner of On The Beach Surf Shop.
Join us from
6:00PM
to 7:30PM
at the Marina Skate Park and Teen Center Complex where you can
meet the Skate Team, watch a demonstration and wish them good luck! Light
refreshments will be served.
The team will compete in San Diego from July 8 – 11, 2010, and they need to raise $5,000 to get there. All funds raised will go to registration, transportation, lodging and meals. A corporate logo on shirts is possible depending on timing. Individual elements can also be sponsored. An example would be transportation (rented van) for $1,000.
To help the Marina /On The Beach Skate Team reach their goal, The Marina Foundation has established a dedicated fund to accept donations for them. This will allow all donations, both personal and business, to be tax deductable. Donations can be made online or by mail to the address below. Since time is of the essence, we ask that donations be received by July 6th.
We encourage the entire community to support the Marina /On the Beach Skate Team as they represent kids throughout Marina at the State Championships.
