Thank You Georgia Glastris for Frenchie Skate 2014

Frenchie Skate 2014 Jumbotron Yost Arena Ann Arbor Michigan

I want to thank Georgia Glastris for putting together Frenchie Skate 2014. It was an great show for a great cause, and what a wonderful tribute to her friend: Francesca Frenchie Persico 

Frenchie Skate 2014 Jumbotron Yost Arena Ann Arbor Michigan

Michael Buckley (Buck Hollywood) emceed and did a terrific job.  From his entrance onto the ice, (yes he skated and he looked like he was no stranger to the ice, gliding out and about effortlessly) to his knowledgeable and humorous intros.  There was plenty of skating and a nice mix of skating levels.  I now have some skaters who I didn't know before, but will be watching in the future.  The 'piece de resistance' was the meet and greet afterwards, getting to talk to the skaters and getting some nice pics.  These skaters are not only great athletes, but they were all so nice.and personable.  I love Figure Skating - it is a beautiful sport and I applaud the skaters who participated in Frenchie Skate 2014 they are caring individuals who donated their time and talent to a good cause and to help out their friend Georgia Glastris.
 Thank you to all the skaters, Michael Buckley and especially Georgia Glastris.
