Usage Summary through December 2005: The Board questioned the attendance numbers in the skating column usually reserved for the Wheel Parks, Kitty advised that she was using that column in October, November and December for the Public Skate attendance numbers.

Of the 28 applications in January, 10 of them were new memberships and 18 of them were for existing members or renewals.
