The Ohio Roller Girls were proud participants in the 2010 Worthington Memorial Day parade. Over a dozen Roller Girls, referees and volunteers marched and skated in the parade. Even the rainy morning wouldn’t keep us off of skates!

It’s the last day of the WCBE 90.5FM Spring Fundrive, and we hope you have donated your time/money.  WCBE is a new OHRG sponsor for 2010 and some of us have been volunteering during the last week.  If you donated you may have been chatting up one of your favorite skaters!

Our own Ice-G, a new OHRG volunteer, gave us the skinny:

I had the opportunity to help our radio sponsor WCBE 90.5 today and last week during their Spring fund drive. As a member of OHRG’s stats team, I love being part of a group focused on the Central Ohio community. And the community loves OHRG.  Staff and other volunteers at WCBE couldn’t stop talking about derby and our first bout coming up—folks are excited. Plus, great networking to be had. Fundraising professionals gave me advice on our growth efforts, and other wannabes asked me about the next Skate Clinic. It was a blast.

There’s still time to donate, do it now!
