Judy, and I'm the president of "Get inline... Chicagoland", an inline skating 
club in the Chicago area (www.getinlinechicagoland.com).   I recently became 
an advisory board member for USA Roller Sports (USARS), who is rolling out a 
new recreational program for clubs and skaters like us.  

In the past, USARS has focused on the speed, artistic and hockey skaters.  
Now, they want to build a great recreational program.  Their initiative 
involves creating a national network of membership based on skate clubs 
around the country, as well as individual skaters.  The advisory committee 
would like to hear from club officers like you and I.  What could USARS do to 
attract your club to join?  The fee is currently $50 for a club, but we, the 
board want to know what they can offer to make that $50 worthwhile for you.  
Some ideas include the following:

1.  liability insurance to cover you, and your officers for group/social 
skates, fun rolls, and other activities (to prevent lawsuits if someone is 
injured)
2.  Assistance with your marketing plan, advertising ideas, ways to attract 
new members
3.  Assistance with media and procurement of sponsorships
4.  USARS skating magazine subscription
5.  Access to articles and educational material
6.  National level group skates, marathons, etc.
7.  Assistance with events, fundraisers, fun rolls, etc.
8.  Club listing on their website
9.  Access to information such as places to skate, national calendar of 
activities, fitness information, nutrition and diet information, skating 
news, skating instruction, discounts from retailers

Do any of these ideas sound interesting to you?  If so, which ones?  What 
other things would help you as a club?  Please share as much feedback as 
possible, as we want to present USARS with the things that YOU, your officers 
and skaters need/want.  Thanks in advance for sharing your input.  To learn 
more about USARS, visit their website at http://www.usarollersports.com/

I look forward to hearing from you!

Judy
