Re: Meeting on the Proposed gym for the Pool Complex on F Street

This post reminds me that I've been meaning to thank those people who had
the vision and the courage to make this ice rink happen. What a great
addition to this community. Whenever I've been at the rink I've seen people
of all ages there. Christmas Day someone volunteered to work there and many
families were there. People of all ages are learning to skate. It's great.
Thanks.
