At the all time 667th meeting of the Rotary Club of Dixie Sunrise last week, we learned of the about to open IGLOO Ice Rink! What an exciting addition to our community. James Mitchell, part owner or the facility, and John Crosier, Director of Hockey for Dixie Igloo and Kids on Ice were joined by Kids on Ice Board Member, Shannon Walker to introduce this new addition to our city to our members.
While the Igloo will indeed be open to the public for figure skating and other open skating, the goal of the Kids on Ice Board is to offer young people the ability to spread their wings in athletics. Their goal is to encourage young people to be athletes rather than single sport players who then have a narrow focus as adults. The Kids on Ice Program follows the American Developmental Model – Play LOTS of sports and BE KIDS! Visit http://www.kidsonice.org/ for more information.
The new facility is slated to open before Christmas and will be a welcome addition for families looking for healthy opportunities for kids and families.
Next week: The Ironman!
Followed by our Holiday Feast! We will have our annual Christmas Party at the Abbey Inn on December 17th at 6:30 p.m. (No, no breakfast meeting.) We look forward to a delicious Abbey Inn menu and entertainment by Lana Jo Holt. Sign up at this week’s meeting.
