You will not be disappointed in the quality or prices for the items in the auction. Discraft always bring some fantastic stuff. Many of the discs are what people are throwing as well as collecting.

So please save your $ and help out Food Gatherers feed people in need.

I'm glad to hear that this tourny is on Sunday, that way I can still work Saturday (important to work with the Memorial approaching). This event has been great fun in the past and a good chance to get in the DGW magazine. Hopefully, the new mag will feauture the Ice Bowl events. I encourage all to bring some donations or some dollas to bid on auction items. Brooke runs a great auction, so come out to play, donate and buy some swag. PEACE

[cyferban]

Hopefully between tonight and sunday i will be able to list for everybody all the sponsors Foz has found for us and items to be auctioned off. We have restaurant gift certificates, which includes gift certificates from some of the local breweries.
check back sunday for more on this subject. If you can't make it out to play come out for the auction please and support food gatherers by participating in the auction.

[cyferban]

Here are the donations we have for Chills already:
The Corner Brewery, Mug Club membership
Beer filled Growler & Growler cover
REI membership
REI should be coming to the event with demos and other potential gifts. REI is a outdoor outfitter
Ann Arbor Collectable Art by Harvey, (signed limitied edition post cards, poster
Aubrees $10 gift certificates
Buffalo Wild Wings $10 gift certificates
Jimmy Johns $10 Gift Certificates
Dexter Pub $25 gift certificates

Foz is still working on 8-10 more potential sponsors. we have 7 discs to auction off already as well.

Please if you can't play come to the auction (approx 3-330PM), if you cant come to the auction send food, disc golf items (or other items) for the auction. Of course there is nothing wrong with cash which will go directly to food gatherers.
Hope to see you all there to have some fun playing disc golf, and spending your money at the auction to raise more money for food gatherers.

[scottcwhite]

This is an impressive list of sponsors. Keep up the good work Foz!!

How will the mug club membership be awarded??

it will be given to me and you will be sad

[cyferban]

We are planning at the moment to auction it off, subject to change day off.

[thetruthxl]

Can't wait to play this event! Been an ice bowl not to miss for many winters.
I'm planning on bringing some worlds merchandise, so bring some cash!

[terrycalhoun]

I'll be there and bring some stuff to auction, Brooke. Looking forward to it!

The most I ever paid for a disc at the auction was $110. Given that Sheila's job at Pfizer ended on Wednesday, I doubt that I will equal that this year, but I will bring some cool stuff.

Auction = good idea.

Ignce, maybe you can get Rooster to buy you an early Valentines gift.

[brookep]

O.K. Everyone the auction is heating up. what is 101 donating??? I hope everyone is saving their $$$ they will need it to out bid me :DBut seriously this is for charity Food Gatherers does a lot for the Ann Arbor community and we should do all we can to support them.

I want to thank everyone who has or will be donating items for the auction. I will be digging into my collection as well. Can you say 2nd run Flat Top Valk :cool::cool:

[DSproAVIAR]

Yes what is 101 donating? Scotty?

[z Vaughn z]

He's back....

[janttila]

Glad to see you've made the transition back to posting freedom successfully. Watch your p's and q's though. I won't hesitate to report any of your posts that step around the line of politeness. And careful of that Charles guy, he said implied profanity and personal attacks burn his eyes!

[janttila]

Looks like a high of 32 for Chills right now! That's beautiful weather compared the cold we've been experiencing. Who's coming to the auction?

[cyferban]

Is anybody planning on going out to the park before sunday? what are the chances of somebody clearing the tee pads on the original, i also believe if you ask the park they will give you salt to spread around on those icy tee pads. Short tee pads at least would be great. I don't know if we are going to use the longs the PRO's who showup will have to let me know there thoughts.

[wander]

My suggestion: Don't confer with the pros. A TDs job is to run things the right way, not ask what folks would prefer to do. You should know already that time is of the essence at this event and scheduling anything but 18 holes / short tees is likely to lead to trouble (particularly with a few inches of snow and wet conditions as forecast.) That's my take on it, at least.

That is nearly a personal attack Joe, you are treading on thin ice. I will bee watching CWojCry as well, I've heard he can be quite vulgar and offensive.

[DSproAVIAR]

Is vulgar a personal attack? I guess we will soon see, consider the mods notified Charles. I don't want to hear anything else offensive out of you either brah, you are on probation.

Bill- Don't ask any players about which layout they prefer. Make a decision and stick with it. Letting player(s) influence your decision is bad idea. I am wondering what your decision will be, please let us know asap.

[cyferban]

Some things are so funny you just have to laugh!!!

Everybody will be playing short tees!
2 rounds of 18 holes both on the original course.

Oh and Woj i disagree with you i think allowing players to voice any opinions is very important, and sometimes even act on those opinions, but that is my .02.

See you sunday bring donations and lots of cash to spend at the auction, we have even picked up more sponsors since the last report. more unique items.
2 rounds of 18 holes
followed by the auction
followed by payouts.

[kwilliamson]

Is there anything specific that can be listed that will be auctioned off. I had originally planned to make out just for the auction, but now will be headed out of town for the weekend.
Hoping maybe I can send someone to bid in my place, if I had an idea of what will be there. I have some extra cash and need something to spend it on.

[cyferban]

1996 Cyclone 170 G residue of manufacturing dust still on it, in a bag to protect it.
1992 "The Original Tracer" was thrown very few times

Terry Calhoun, Brooke Plantz are 2 people who have said they will be bringing stuff. Discraft will be making a donation.
if any of them read this and feel like making a list of what they are bringing that could help you more.

[janttila]

KW, just start the biding process right now. What are you buying and how much? Never to early to start getting the bids out for charity.

[ChrisWoj]

Oh and Woj i disagree with you i think allowing players to voice any opinions is very important, and sometimes even act on those opinions, but that is my .02.


I hadn't said anything...

[kwilliamson]

None of that really stands out that I can't live without.
Not that I'm looking for anything in particular.
Anyone want to put up any cam todd's for auction?

[cyferban]

less is more woj!

Bill... This is what you were referring to and it was not Woj. I do agree with the statement though.

[terrycalhoun]

I spend more time at another site, nowadays :cool:but I did just see this. At the moment I have pulled out the following unthrown discs :<ul> 173-gram white Xtra with the 2000 No Foolin' color stamp indicating that it was a First Place trophy disc 171 gram red Z-Reaper with the 2001 3rd Annual Club Kensington Invitational stamp 168 gram green X-Clone with the 1995 Great Lakes Open stamp that lists Hudson Mills & Kandahar 170 gram orange Z-Cyclone with the 2001 DGLO stamp a matched pair of 177+ gram orange Pro-D First Run Buzzes with the a3disc 2004 logo

[brookep]

So what's it going to take to get you to the auction???

I have a basement full of discs most of which are collectable.

[brookep]

Let me reiterate the goal of the tournament and auction. To raise money for food gatherers. There will be great stuff to bid on that is for sure. Look at it as an opportunity to give back to the community and be a part of the greater Ice Bowl mission.

I hope to see everyone on Sunday.

[kwilliamson]

I'd be there if I could, but I have to be in Dayton on Sunday.

I'd still like to see some CT challengers. Pretty sure I could outbid most everyone. You'd have to take paypal though.

[brookep]

The gloves are off. I am looking for CT Challengers and apparently price isn't a problem. :cool::cool:

Let me know so that Kevin can donate to Food Gatherers.
I am sure we can figure out Pay Pal :D

[cyferban]

Thanks Terry
Thanks Brooke

We have already raised $140 toward food gatherers thru discs purchased thru the ice bowl program. Thanks to everybody who bought some of those discs.
Its a good start. Remember we the goal this year is more than 250# of food and over $1200 in cash.

Thanks to Foz and all his fund raising efforts this should be doable.

If you haven't heard there will be a CTP for every division in the 2nd round ran by Foz. as well as other potential sponsorship rewards after the 2nd round.

see you there sunday.

[cyferban]

I'll call you on your cell if any show up at the auction kevin, and we will trust you on the money, after all i know where you live. LOL.
no but i will call if any show up.

[cyferban]

Take note if i didn't mention this previously there will be a CTP for every division in the 2nd round, plus another prize for a different player in every division.
We will also be giving $25 gift certificates to the largest cash donation and largest food donation (the food donation will not not be based simply on items but quantity or estimated weight by staff)

If any body has Cam Todd Challengers please donate them as they will allow us to auction them to at least 1 individual, he will buy 2 if the price doesn't get to high.
thanks for all your donations in advance and hopefully your attendance and you spending lots of money at the auction.

[cyferban]

We have raised tentively $1953.00, with 3 people still owing money. A3 will probably round the money to something above $2100. or $2200 we will let you know. I will recount the cash and checks tomorrow and report more at that time.

I do not believe we met our goal of more than 300# of food if we have more than 100# i would be surprised so if anybody would still like to donate i would be willing to attempt collecting it from you by wednesday i hope to drop the food off and money at food gatherers on thursday or friday of this week.

We have some items we would like to attempt to auction still.
a free haircut at fantastic sams on ellsworth, belleville rd whittaker rd, rawsonville rd or carpenter rd.

Minimum bid $50

[cyferban]

[cyferban]

Help me out here can i get some bids on the other items please? Anybody, maybe another bid on the mug club membership. we'd like to sell all this stuff for something please, make an offer.
thanks again.

[cyferban]

Hello everyone thought i would let everybody know.
We raised 255# of food (up from 249# last year) and donated $2500.00 in cash to food gatherers.
A3 rounded the money up from something like $2100.00 raised at the event to the donated amount of $2500.00.

thanks to all the players with their donations both in cash and food. As well as all the purchases of the auction items which helped us more than double our cash donation from last year.
Thanks to all the sponsors who donated CTP items which hopefully everybody enjoyed. the sponsors who donated items to the auctinos and Foz our sponsorship guy who raised huge quantity's of these items for the players benefit and food gatherers.

Thanks to everyone again for your assistance in this worthy cause.
