Gliding Stars, an ice skating program for blind and/or physically handicapped youth and young adults, is the signature hands-on project supported by the Saratoga Springs Lions Club. The 2010 Gliding Stars Ice Show will be held at the Weibel Ave. Ice Rink on Sat., March 27th from 3:45-5:30pm. Here is the remaining 2010 practice schedule:

In addition to covering the cost of ice time at the city-owned indoor rinks and purchasing special equipment to match the needs of each year's skaters, Lions and their family members lace-up their skates and offer on-ice assistance to the participants. Other Lions help off-ice in myriad ways.

For the participants, Gliding Stars offers an opportunity to have fun while learning new skills; improve balance and coordination; smile, laugh, and receive one-on-one attention and encouragement from members of the Lions community, and shine under the glow of the lights at the program's finale: a fully-costumed, choreographed show, performed to music and attended by parents, friends, and members of the Saratoga Springs Lions Club.

For the Lions and their friends, Gliding Stars is a very personal way to make a difference in the lives of others.
