Fire Destroys CNYRD Home and Communities Unite.


 13 Feb 2012   Posted by Caitlin  1 Comment


I’m sure by now everyone has heard about the fire that struck the Central New York Roller Derby League out of the Utica area. They as well as the men’s Quadfathers lost their practice space and all of their gear and equipment. The outpouring of kind words and the unbelievable amount of support they are receiving is beyond what anyone could ask for.

While reading the posts and news articles about the fire brings tears to my eyes, the posts and comments showing support have created tears of happiness and pride. I have pride in not only my local community but the community abroad. Derby and non derby folks have been opening up their hearts, practice spaces, and wallets. This support has come from our local community, our Northern neighbors, from across the ocean, and everyone in between.

So thank you to everyone who is showing their support for my community. For those of you who would like to show your support please visit their website to find out how. Thank you again.

 



About The Author


Caitlin developed a strong opinion on the lack of civility surrounding us. She believes everyone has a right to their opinion, and long as it can be backed up by facts and it isn’t full of hate. She went to Mohawk Valley Community College after being involved in a companywide lay off to pursue her AAS Degree in Business Management. While in school she became a tutor helping fellow students and founded the Unity, Culture, and Community Club (UC2) at MVCC whose purpose is civility and treating others as you would want to be treated (basically teaching people to be nice!). After graduating in May of 2011 she returned to MVCC as a Professional Business Tutor and an Advisor for UC2. She plans on pursuing starting a not for profit Learning Center in her community so she can help those who may not have the funds and resources needed to pursue their academic goals. Caitlin will be writing on civility issues and her experiences.
