We have some information for our members concerning the skating activity we discussed at the February meeting.
The Kennebec Ice Arena has a public skate time Mon.-Thurs. from 11:30am-1:30pm. The price is: $5 for adults, $4 for children 18 & under, and $2 for children 6 & under. Groups of 11 or more get a $1 discount per person. Skate rental is $3.
It looks like Monday or Tuesday would be the least busy, and therefore best days for us to have our activity.
Members of the group, please email Kim or Nicole, or leave a comment below concerning your interest in the activity and your preference of days.
