The “Pajammer Party” is Providence Roller Derby’s first event of 2009!  This party is being held at the Scurvy Dog at 1718 Westminster Street in Providence, Rhode Island on Wednesday, January 28th at 9pm.  So break up the monotony of your work week, by partying with us!

Here’s the bar:

Admission for this event is totally free.  It should be a really fun time, so put on your pj’s and come out and hang with us.

We’ve still got a few months before our home season starts, but please check out our allstar team, The Rhode Island Riveters!  They will be bouting against H.A.R.D. (Harrisburg Area Roller Derby)  at the RI Convention Center on April 11, 2009.

Also, dates are still up in the air, but our junior varsity team, The Killah Bees (aka my heart) will be playing before the home season as well.  I will keep you posted.

For those of you that don’t know, I’m a skater for Providence Roller Derby and we’re organizing a clothing drive for an organization called Sojourner House in Providence, RI.  http://www.providencerollerderby.com

Sojourner House is non-profit agency that offers services to victims of domestic violence.  They are also hosting an event for World Aids Day on December 19th where they will be using our clothing donations. http://www.sojournerri.org/sojourner/

In the past, Providence Roller Derby has raised several hundred dollars for breast cancer research and participated in Habitat for Humanity, and there are always charities at our events that we actively support.

I am not writing this to solicit donations from you as it would be impossible to obtain them.  This blog is about encouraging you to make a difference in your community as well.  The holidays are a hard time for some people and often trigger feelings of loss or depression.  Please go out and find at least one person’s day that your thoughtfulness can brighten.
