Market Street Market (MSM) now hosts LilacCity Rollergirls(LCRG) more

 

 Roller Derby Jam

Stacie Ellis, LCRG Founder and President, expressed appreciation of Paul Hamilton (Market Street Market) for giving Lilac City Rollergirls the opportunity to practice (4 hours per week) at MSM. Stacie says that, “Women’s roller derby is a new sport in Spokane. We are non-profit and we donate a portion of our proceeds to other non-profit charities. Most of us are moms in our 30s and we bring our kids to the practices. This is a family environment and we want to show people what we’re about. We currently have three teams, of ten girls each, and want to grow. Applicants welcome.”  Contact Stacie Ellis email kickassgirls@comcast.net and cell (509) 220-9103 or go to the LCRG website  www.myspace.com/lilac_city_rollergirls
