RETIREMENT PARTY... ROLLERGIRLS STYLE
If "retirement party" conjures up images of grandma moving to Florida and wearing floral mumus, banish the idea from your mind now! This isn't your grandma's retirement party, oh no.

We'll be saying goodbye to a few of our number who've decided the time has come to retire from Derby and pursue other aspects of their lives like spending time with non-derby friends, higher ed, travels and moves, babies and husbands, etc. So join us in this summertime festivity and say goodbye to these retiring girls in style.

And because we are who we are, you can expect some sort of fun entertainment. If you went to the North Carolina send-off party, you know what to expect; and if you didn't, well then here's your chance to find out what you missed!
