Well People we did it.
 
Tonight I was joined at City Council by fellow Board members Mario Pennesi,
Mike Olar, Gena Grady & Laura Laing and also Scott Nicol from LMHA &
Melissa Masse a WMHA parent.
 
We made our plea to keep Adie Knox open as a Ice Rink and it was passed by
a vote of 10 – 0 by City Council. I want to thank our Treasurer Mario Pennesi
for all of his hard work when it comes to the numbers and his work behind the
scenes. I also want to thank all of the people who contacted there member of
council and all of the support on social media.
 
A special thank you to the members of the media who came to our side on
this story. While this is great news the real hard work starts now. We will meet
with the City to do what we have to so we are not fighting for this again next
year BUT if we have to we will. We want to work WITH the City and not against
them.
 
In closing remember that if you want something bad enough then fight for
it.
