Who
is the Detroit Skaters On The Go?
Well, let’s stroll down Memory Lane!!!!!!!

Lorna
(Cookie), Theresa (Tee), Quintone (Tone), Tiffany and Cynthia
In 1993
a group of skaters collaborated on what was needed to breathe
new life and add new interests of roller skating. This group
consisted of Debra Bosman, Marshall Carter, Lorna Hubbard, Brenda
Mallett and Cynthia Travis. Together, they formed Skaters On
The Move. Under this name, they organized an adventurous and
successful trip to Chicago, Illinois.
In 1995
Charles Haywood and Andre Mitchell came together to orchestrate
a trip of skating bliss to Atlanta, Georgia. All who participated
had a splendid time and there were regrets from those who didn’t
attend.
In 1996
Detroit Skaters On The Go evolved and since have sponsored and
traveled to New Jersey/New York, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis,
and California.
Who are the Detroit
Skaters On The Go? Lorna Hubbard, Theresa Jones, Andre Mitchell,
Cynthia Travis, Fred and La Cheryl Wicker. What was so special
about this group? We have in common a love for skating and meeting
people. We encourage and support clean, safe, healthy, courteous
and legal fun! Participants of sponsored activities of Detroit
Skaters On The Go include persons from all walks of life, both
professional and nonprofessional, technical, blue-collar, retired,
etc. Position/status has no bearing on an invitation to participate.
All that is asked is that you share the same love for skating.

of Lorna Hubbard, Theresa Jones, Cynthia Travis, Fred and La
Cheryl Wicker. A Non-profit organization club.
