                        IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO JOIN
   
C.O.R.A. has plans to make 1996 the best season ever as we have helped
to make the San Francisco Bay Area one of the most active regions of
the nation for inline skating.  This year we plan to provide more for
the recreational skater. You elite guys and gals are great and there
are plenty of races going on this year that will cater to you. There
are far fewer events that give the average skater an opportunity to
share some of the glory and move up toward the elite ranks.   We still
plan to present high profile races for you like the 97 mile Bridge to
Boardwalk Roll (San Francisco to Santa Cruz), two Golden Gate Park
"Skate Pro" Championships,  the Greg Levien 50 Kilometer Memorial Race
and four Napa to Calistoga Roadskates.  

We will also roll into the San Francisco Fair This year as we present
the San Francisco Street Grind Championships, the San Francisco
Freestyle Dance Championships and a three day 3 on 3 roller hockey
tournament.  We will keep the party rollin' as we skate in the Chinese
Ney Year Parade, the Cinco de Mayo Parade, the Carnival Parade  and the
Pacifica Fog Festival Parade. 

If skating the City is what you want to do,  you have to go for a roll
with the Midnight Rollers.  This is San Francisco's most fun and
exciting night time experience.  We meet at the Ferry Building in San
Francisco every Friday night at 8:00 P.M.  We skate past Pier 39,
Fisherman's Wharf, Aquatic Park, the Marina Green, the Palace of Fine
Arts, through the Broadway Tunnel, the Stockton Tunnel, Union Square,
the South of Market Party Zone. and the Fashion Center and back to the
Embarcadero to the Ferry Bldg.  The skate is 12.5 miles an takes about
three hours. There are over 400 skaters every Friday right now, but
during the summer the numbers 600 skaters. 

The highlight of this year will be the Skate Against Violence Campaign.
The Skate Against Violence Skate-a-thon and the San Francisco to Los
Angeles Skate Against Violence Roadskate will do two things.  First,
the skate-a-thon will get skates from the public and put them on the
feet of kids that can't afford a pair of skates. Second, the roadskate
will raise money to repave the skating area at 6th Ave. and Kennedy
Drive and the paved track at the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park.  This
will give skaters a world class place to train, practice and develope
our sport.

We need you to officially join this group and participate in bringing
our skate scene to the forefront.  We are building from the grass
roots.  We need members who would become coaches, race officials,
trainers, and others to make these plans a reality.   We are now ready
