THANK YOU...
A very big thank you to all our volunteers who took time from their very busy family lives to make the 1st Ontario Cup Meet (Peter Williamson Memorial Cup) such a huge success for the skaters.
We asked all our members to kindly donate food for the volunteers and skaters table. There were many compliments extended to your marvelous food preparations and with absolute sincerety we thank you.
Thank you to the small group of people who assisted with setting up the ice on late Friday night. And again with the take down and set up late Saturday evening. Without you, races wouldn't be ready to go on time.
May we tip our hat off to Sam Fackoury and Mike Ulakovic for arranging the racing program well into Friday night and then running a very efficient office for race results all weekend.
With utmost thanks to Marg Oliveira for being the meet co-ordinator for the first Ontario Cup. You were certainly instrumental in hosting an extremely well run meet.
And last but absolutely not least to the many volunteers, officials and coaches who once again give tirelessly of themselves so that our athletes may once again pursue their goals.
