We joined Chester County Skating Club with a family membership in 2000 when my oldest son was just three and have been there ever since. All four boys went through the hockey program and had a wonderful experience. I am currently the secretary on the board for the last four years. My husband and I own Ganly Vision Care and we have always tried to be active in the community. It’s a great hometown rink and we have made some of our closest friends there.
