Thanks steve :D:D

[dryhistory]

that's some great reading comprehension they is teaching these days :D

Checked out that new course yesterday.
Had a hard time keeping myself awake. Flooding will be an
issue. Try not to foot fault on the worlds smallest tee pads.

But, I do applaud the efforts of the city and those involved. Should have a positive impact on that area.

[daltonseabolt]

Whats the longest hole out there.

[Big E]

Hole 8 is 400ish but you have to play around a fence line so it played longer for me :D

I said ish :D:DYa that hole I took a five thanks to a low put

[lazlong]

that hole should be a 3 pretty much all the time. i took a 5 because i went over the fence. thank god doug had his golden retriever. also, there's a really nice guy on a cart in the federal area that got not one but two discs that happened to end up 50 feet the other side of the fence. just remember if your caught in there that the guards have guns.

Well if it's a 3 everytime and all i have been hearing is 4's and 5's'.Why isnt there any 3's yet.And well i guess im going to have to get a 2 then on it.

Went to Bon Jovi and Have tickets to Boston and Styx...never have been the HOB.

[dryhistory]

i dont get it, chili peppers or chris pepperling?

[Giles]

i dont get it, chili peppers or chris pepperling?



Pepper: Hawian and/or white guys playing pop reggae. Like Sublime or Slightly Stoopid. I havn't seen them live but they are supposed to be good. Slightly Stoopid fills all my white guy reggae needs. Texas boys Shark Attack & Eleven Finger Charlie are good also. Saw EFC playing with two sax players once and it actually worked.

[dryhistory]

oh, thanks Giles. my head can stop hurting now

i dont get it, chili peppers or chris pepperling?

It was a bad arse show , and the House of Blues is a
fantastic venue for live music. Opening acts were stellar!

[seewhere]

so how is pepper doing ??? :D:p

[AnotherSteve]

Found a 2006 Bag Tag #49 on Z-Boaz #7 Tee.

Blue w/ Z's circled around white number.

[Pogis]

Can somebody mm me Kinters number please.

[my_hero]

1-800-PorkChop. I'll PM you his number. Love your current sig. Forgot i said that. :D "I thought sidewalks were there for us to get better skipshots off of."

When i read the subject line i was hoping somebody found the tag Ryan lost. Guess not. :confused: :mad:

[Pogis]

Its one of the greatest quotes I have heard on the msg board! :D

[dryhistory]

hey Miles, are you going to be a 1000 rated player next tuesday?

[Pogis]

Occording to my calculations I will be 998 rated. But the Pdga always seems to be 1 to 2 points higher for some reason. So cross your fingers!

[dryhistory]

we should have a funkytown party everytime someone achieves 1000 rating - good luck

ps, did you double weight the last 25% in your calculation?

Occording to my calculations I will be 998 rated. But the Pdga always seems to be 1 to 2 points higher for some reason. So cross your fingers!



Consider them crossed !

[Pogis]

ps, did you double weight the last 25% in your calculation?



I may have been homeschooled, but I am not stupid! :mad::D

[Pogis]

As I was answering the last post it hit me that I haddnt calculated states into my rating....... dang it. 996 will be the magic number, hopfully a little higher. But I dont see the pdga swinging it 4 points. I will get it next time...........

[dryhistory]

i couldnt see what my round ratings were on any of my tourneys, did you save them before they went away or something? :confused:

[my_hero]

I am stupid. Would you please tell me my *projected* rating? Should be easy, as i lost most of my rounds during the injured year.

I've only played the PIO and Cedar Hill since the last update.

[Pogis]

Yep! I learned to do that after my first update.

You just have to wait. No way to see ratings from the PIO. Surprises are fun! :D

[karateputter]

1. http://forum.funkytownflyers.org/ now points to our new forum home on pdga.com! (Thanks to pancake for setting the new forum up!)
2. The courses (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/courses.html) page on the website has been updated, but it needs some help in the area of information about minis. Send the info my way and I'll update the site.

Also of interest is the Funky SSA on the course page for various formats. The Funky SSA is currently calculated as an average of SSAs from past tournaments according to course and format.

Be advised that the Z-boaz SSAs are probably off by a bit. Losing the significant tree on 2 and the limb on 5 will surely have an impact on future SSAs.

I'm curious about what everyone thinks of the SSAs that are there. Especially to find if a mistake was made in the calculations. I'm thinking a time-weighted average may better account for changes in the SSA over time.

[Pogis]

Finally had time to get some footage together, good and bad. Its even got my "horn honk" putt on it. Enjoy!

ZBoaz Open 2008 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJhejjI-css&fmt=6)

[karateputter]

There were some questions about what a SSA is. So here is a brief summary:

SSA, Scratch Scoring Average, is the score a scratch world class player with a rating of 1000 would be expected to average on that course.

For more information about the SSA and ratings, see the ratings guide (http://www.pdga.com/documents/2008/08RatingsGuide.pdf). The Funky SSA, similar to the Funky Rating, is more of a summary measurement. It averages the SSAs calculated from previous tournaments to give a general idea of what a particular course and format score should be for the 1000 rated player. Stay tuned for some graphics/tables that will make this useful for players that aren't 1000 rated. :)

[AnotherSteve]

As I was answering the last post it hit me that I haddnt calculated states into my rating....... dang it. 996 will be the magic number, hopfully a little higher. But I dont see the pdga swinging it 4 points. I will get it next time...........



Miles,
Wanna bet who gets the biggest Gain between us?

Go ahead Pop me in the Head next time you see me.

[Pogis]

From your post I would guess ou. But I have to confess that I have not been keeping up with your ratings. Sorry. But my life long goal looks liek it will come true!!!! I will be higher rated the My_Hero! :D

[AnotherSteve]

Good Luck this weekend in Kansas

[my_hero]

But my life long goal looks liek it will come true!!!! I will be higher rated the My_Hero!



Good Lord son, please raise your goals! :DI might climb 5 points. My last 3 rounds were above 1000 but i threw a 960 or something like that in the mix too. :confused: Not bad for this dad that never gets to play. Dang, it's past bed time. Night night. :D

[karateputter]

"Score to Beat" has been added to the individual player pages on funkytownflyers.org (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/leaderboard.html). This feature tells what score you would make, for a particular course and format, based on your current PDGA rating!

To check it out, follow the link above and click your name on the leaderboard. You will see a new section below the graphs called "Score to Beat."

Enjoy! :cool:

(Updated course SSAs are welcome!)

[dryhistory]

oh, and good job Milo for cashing in a huge open field, how was kansas?

[Pogis]

I am guessing I am Milo. :DIt was amazing! All of you who didnt come need to next year. You guys all know how well DD events are run and how much they do for the players. You really missed out. As for me, I started the tourney bogey birdie bogey, and ended the tourney bogey bogey......... :D

[dryhistory]

the new ratings are up. and they is going to be a little shuffledy shuffling on the leaderboard people :p

and i do say so, if someone named cfles does not renew or sign up for funkytown, Miles "Milo" Seaborn will be the highest rated player in funkytown :)

[my_hero]

I think we all got screwed with the entire Big Show missing. I'm actually thunderstruck that my rating didn't go way down with, not 1 but 2.... 955 rounds being double weighed(that's 4 955's being averaged)!!!! Once the Big Show gets in there and doubled, we will all rise like the Pheonix.

[Pogis]

<font color="red">IF </font> the Big Show gets in there and doubled, we will all rise like the Pheonix.

Leaderboard (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/leaderboard.html) is updated!

[dryhistory]

wow Mikey, with the quickness, good job mate!

[karateputter]

Thanks pancake! The process is mostly automated now for the current PDGA website design. That is why it is relatively quick. Hopefully it will remain that way after the PDGA redesigns their site!

It is with a heavy heart I am posting this message ..

Due to an excess of responsibility with work and home , I have decided to hand over controlling interest of the Funkytown Flyers Club to the capable hands of Michael Brownlow.

I have not been able to keep my commitment to the members and disc golfers in the community , and for that I am sorry. There has been soo much support from the members and I have not been able to follow through with my initial intentions.

Michael has by far been the most active member , and I
support him 100%.

The monies, bag tags , and plastic will be in his control, and I strongly urge all of you to stand behind him 100%. He has far more time and intelligence than I will ever dream of. I truly believe he is the man to grow this FANTASTIC CLUB, and make it all that it could be .....

Please understand , this is not something I want to do. But, I owe it to the members and golfers to make this transition. I will be as involved as I can, and look forward to years worth active membership...

IT's all you Brownlow.... Have at it

[dryhistory]

no worries Lee, we started this to be a club, a shared effort amongst all of us. thanks for your leadership and commitment. we look forward to the leadership of B-low. Letts keep it going :D

Thanks for the kind words....
It still sucks , I made a commitment that I could not live up to .. I feel like a totat *********...

[shaunh]

I still like u a lil bit....
So its ok...
:)

[karateputter]

Lee, it's safe to say that what you have started is a great thing for our community. It is an honor to be able to play a larger part in continuing the Funkytown tradition and living the dream of building disc golf communities and courses for not just our generation, but many to come.

I would like everyone to know that I am stepping into this role on an interim basis in order to help Lee and the club make the transition to new leadership and to reestablish its vision and goals. I believe that the members of Funkytown should decide who its directors should be; therefore, one of my top priorities will be to develop and publish the Funkytown Flyers organizational documents and bring about the second election cycle for the board of directors. There will be regular meetings that all members are invited to attend to accomplish this goal. I believe that my first mission as interim director is to organize the club. If there are questions or suggestions concerning this they are very welcome. Please come to the meetings to share your thoughts. They are valuable because they represent the heart and soul of Funkytown.

If there are any questions in the mean time please feel free to ask myself or Lee. I will be following up soon with a schedule of meeting times and my first State of the Funkytown address.

Lee, thank you again for all of your efforts. With your initiative and original vision a great club has formed with a fantastic member base and many significant accomplishments for Funkytown. Thank you! We all look forward to your continued involvement and counsel. You have done a fantastic job, and you will be honored for it.

[my_hero]

If there are any questions in the mean time please feel free to ask myself



Do you think Lee should try the Tampax for heavy flow days or stick with his normal smooth applicator?

God bless you both!

[colin-evans]

I would like to personally thank Lee for setting this train in motion. I am just as much at fault for not coming through for the betterment of FFC. I fully intended for us to be further along than we are.

I trust that B-low is the right man and awesome representative for our club in the community.

I now want to challenge us all to lend support where it is due. This sometimes will require us to put down our discs and work a little. Before we ask when something is going to get done step in and volunteer.

It is not all bad, look how much we have accomplished since that monumental first meeting at Goose's house.

Thanks again Lee,

The FFC will be taking part in the "Thanks, Mace" Raffle at A-to-Z. Any members that have something to offer see me at the Z mini on Sunday! We already have several people stepping up in our club to be a part of this, so join the crowd and help thank Mace. Get with Josh Dann for details on the raffle.

The tee pad is in! Special thanks to Ron, Brad, Brice, and Doug for their extra efforts in making and/or guarding the new tee pads!

Yet another success story for the Crowley club as well as Funkytown. The #8 tee pad donation was Lee's initiative.

Also, a big thank you to the Funkytowners that came and helped out. The Crowley course is shaping up very well!

Check the photos thread (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=825212&amp;Main=825211#Post8 25212) for details.

[karateputter]

The next FFC meeting is tentatively scheduled for May 31 with backup dates on June 21, 22 and July 12, 13. We are still in the process of deciding where and suggestions/offers are welcome!

We need all club members to attend and vote.

The meeting will cover:
- Where the club is/accomplishments
- Where the club needs to go next
- Ratification of charter
- Director Candidates' speeches
- Elections (only members vote)
- Awards and Announcement of new Officers
- Summary and Scheduling of next Quarterly Meeting
- Something fun!?

All persons interested in running for a director position need to prepare their platform now and notify the interim director of their intent to run so that ballots can be prepared. The latest date you can notify to run will be May 23. The positions available for directorship are:
- Chairman
- Vice-chairman
- Finance
- Communication
- Promotions
- Programming
- Facilities

I will be posting more details on the responsibilities of the director positions on the website soon, as well as the current draft of the club charter for the club to review and suggest improvements.

We will need a few volunteers to help in running the meeting. Anybody that is interested please let me know!

I will keep everyone posted on location.

Best looking tee pad on the course !

Way to go guys !

[karateputter]

The meeting will need to be rescheduled due to a time conflict with the Titledisc open.

I have also been really busy meeting with past board members, Lee, other key members, the ADGA, Mace, and other key organizations and leaders to gather information for the meeting in time. I am also still drafting the charter, preparing ballots, and resolving some issues related to the baskets at North Park and some unresolved grievances by members. Monday or Tuesday I intend to post inventory and the articles of incorporation that the previous board put together.

Specific people I would like to thank so far that have been helping me in this process are:
- Lee Letts (for helping with inventory, club status, and memberships information)
- Shawn Wooten (for information on North Park and some club assets)
- Stacia Pearce (for providing the articles of incorporation document)
- Britt Browning (for information on lawyers for incorporation assistance)
- Mickey Scott (for pledging ADGA support)
- Jerry Seabolt (for advice on Funkytown's mission)
- Brice Longerbone (for the coordinated work on the FFC teepad)
- Skip Maxwell (for advice on Funkytown's mission)
- Brian Mace (for suggestions regarding future tournaments hosted by the FFC)
- Gilbert Casas (for information regarding West Park, Greenbriar Park, Gateway Park, the Fort Worth parks department, and the work that Brandon has been involved in)
- Josh Dann (for titledisc tournament hosting information and sponsorship opportunities for FFC)
- David Teague (for suggestions regarding incorporation)

And this is just the beginning of the list of people that have been helpful in making this transition less bumpy!

Thanks!

And, for some website updates, the member directory is on its way to being online. I hope to be able to complete this during the transition period, but I'm pretty busy doing club organization at this point. :p

[karateputter]

Regarding club inventory.

Lee transferred the club inventory into my possession on May 8, 2008 and the contents will be documented in the inventory report this Monday/Tuesday. This includes the club finances. The FFC does not have a bank account yet due to lack of a Tax ID. It does have a fire safe to secure the finances though. After elections the care of the assets will be transferred to the Finance Director. Although the club hasn't kept a ledger in the past, I will be keeping one during the interim period to help bootstrap the next board. This ledger will be published at the meeting.

looking forward to it

Next Meeting: June 21st

Okay folks, check out the website (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/docs.html) to see the original Articles of Incorporation work that was done and the first Transition Inventory Report. Corrections to the report are welcome in private. All errors in the report are my responsibility.

More people to thank:
- Dave Emrick (for information regarding weatherford)
- PJ Fry and David Landis (for information regarding North Park and basket acquisition)
- Brice Longerbone (for suggestions regarding a Funkytown Team League)

There have been many requests for the FFC! I would like everyone to know that there are some great opportunities out there for more disc golf if we can work together. Specifically in Weatherford and Gateway park. But before the club can go down that road it needs a charter and a meeting to ratify that charter. The first backup date for the meeting, June 21, is now the official date.

My current todo list is as follows:
- Finish trimming example charter from pdga.com and publish for members to begin debate on it.
- Awards preparation
- Communications with PDGA regarding their voting system and whether FFC will need to find a different system or create one.
- Rebuild contacts and relationships with the city of Fort Worth
- Handle any disputes/errors related to inventory
- Meet with Gilbert Casas and Brandon regarding Gateway Park, basket needs, and how to meet them
- Meet with Brian Mace regarding FFC tournaments
- Meet with Lee Letts, Colin Evans, and Brandon regarding our first nine Baskets
- Meet with Dave Emrick regarding Weatherford basket needs and how to meet them

Please keep in mind that these meets are just that. Meetings. The purpose of holding these meets is to gather information about the current status of Funkytown course development and tournament hosting potential so that it can be documented and published at the club meeting. Once a charter, a board of directors, and member voting capabilities are in place, the real fun can begin. And, hopefully, there will be enough groundwork in place for committees to start taking action.

Next Meeting: June 21st

[karateputter]

I have sent a poll to all current members with an active email address concerning Titledisc Open sponsorship by FFC. Please participate in the poll!

If you did not receive the poll I may have a bad email address for you. The emails on record were given at the Hangover classic. If you think it might need an update, send it to director@funkytownflyers.org.

Thanks!

This is a real member poll. But at the same time I am investigating polling options. The PDGA forum polling capabilities are good for generic polls that members and non-members can participate in. But we will need to use a different method for member-only polls.

[karateputter]

Great response so far! Nearly half the membership has participated.

The poll will end on the 21st.

My vote is yes, did not get the e-mail

lee

[karateputter]

It shows your abahn.com address on the list of recipients, but I will see if I can resend it. You might want to check your spam folder.

[shaunh]

Go brownlow go. Great job.

[karateputter]

I've finished the first draft of the charter and plan to post that tonight or tomorrow for review. It will also include detailed descriptions of the board of director positions for those planning to run for election.

I met with Gilbert and Brandon and those two are passionate about putting in new courses. I encourage all members to get in touch with those two and be part of what they are doing to expand disc golf in Funkytown. In case any haven't heard, work on Gateway is now sooner than anticipated and those two are on the ball making things happen with the city via Inches of Mercury's support and even bringing in John Houck to help with course design. Keep it up guys! :cool:

I have started communications with George Kruzick and Shane Mize who are representatives for Fort Worth regarding disc golf. I will be gathering documentation concerning West Park and Greenbriar CC and distributing that as it comes in.

So far from all the meetings and interesting perspectives that there are out there it has become abundantly clear that for Funkytown to make progress in the arena of course development, tournaments, etc., it must meet the requirements necessary to be recognized by the city. The original route of a non-profit organization was chosen by the 2007 board of directors and their efforts are documented in the articles of incorporation on the website. However, to complete the job was more than those involved could commit to. I have communicated with George Kruzick about this issue and made requests for assistance and direction. In the meantime, the club focus should be fulfilling the club's current commitments and, especially, working towards a successful election process and the next board of directors.

More people to thank:
- Shawn Wooten and Stacia Pearce (for more input on club activities in 2007)
- Gilbert Casas and Brandon Melton (for input on Gateway progress and basket info at North Park)
- Lee Letts (for input on North Park)
- Stephanie McFarland (for tolerating my director babblings and helping me with inventory)

TODO List:
- Publish charter for members to begin debate on it.
- Awards preparation
- Publish updated inventory with fixes
- Document and publish current agreement between the FFC and North Park/Brandon regarding the baskets that are there on loan
- Reserve a Fort Worth community center for the meeting
- Meet with Brian Mace regarding FFC tournaments
- Meet with Colin Evans, PJ Fry, David Landis regarding the donated baskets that are currently on loan
- Meet with Dave Emrick regarding Weatherford basket needs and how to meet them
- Meet with Jerry Seabolt about North Park am payouts

Next meeting is still June 21st.

[karateputter]

I have posted updated inventory as well as the public draft of the charter for review on the website (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/docs.html).

The charter is largely based on the example (http://www.pdga.com/club_affiliate/sample_charter.php) given by the PDGA, but please review it and send your suggestions for improvement. Personally I would like to add a requirement for the club to give to charity a certain percentage of its revenues. That suggestion, along with any other suggestions that come up, will be gathered together into a poll for members to vote on. Begin suggestions now so that the club can have a representative charter to ratify on June 21st. I need suggestions by June 1st to allow ample time for electronic voting. Also, those who wish to run for an officer position need to notify me by June 1st as well. The following positions are available in the current draft of the charter:
<ul type="square"> Chairman of the Board
Vice-chairman of the Board
Director of Finance
Director of Membership
Director of Promotions
Director of Programming
Director of Facilities
[/list]
I met with Jerry Seabolt, Lee Letts, David Kinter, and others at North Park's doubles mini last Friday and we discussed what ways the FFC can improve its progress in moving the donated baskets to their next course. Here were some of the ideas:
<ul type="square"> Ace Race
Bounties
Rolling Ace Pot
Increase in North Park entry fee for course fund
Tournaments
Charity events
[/list]
Ideally Funkytown can implement all of these ideas and more. For those curious about how the rolling ace pot would work it would be something like this: Current ace pots at their respective minis remain the same. This new Funky ace pot would be $1 optional extra payin. The Funky ace pot would move from mini to mini throughout the week. Payout would be 80% to the thrower, 10% to FFC, and 10% split evenly to course funds of relevant minis that had payin.

Any other ideas out there?

[karateputter]

There was a permission problem on the webserver that has now been fixed. Try again if the files failed to download previously!

There were 4 options so far for the meeting location. Two are still being checked out (offers for meeting at a home) while the other two are Lockheed Martin Rec Center (thanks to Steve Sanders for this option) and a Club room at my apartment complex. The club room at my apartment complex is entirely too expensive ($500 deposit, $125 fee, $25/hr, minimum 3 hours). The Lockheed Martin Rec Center is $195 and Steve would be able to get this for us. Still need to get some details on it. This is a hot item as reservations need to happen early, so I'll be focusing on it this week. Still open for offers on this!

Thanks to:
- Colin Evans regarding more details on baskets
- Shawn Wooten and Stacia Pearce for more details on Greenbriar CC efforts and suggestions for meeting location
- Lee Letts for his feedback on several issues

TODO List:
- Document and publish current agreements between the FFC, donors, and parks
- Reserve a location for the June 21st meeting
- Awards preparation
- Hold votes on charter suggestions and 8th basket
- Meet with PJ Fry and David Landis regarding the donated baskets that are currently on loan
- Meet with Brian Mace regarding FFC tournaments
- Meet with Dave Emrick regarding Weatherford basket needs and how to meet them

[karateputter]

There are 32 hours left for the Titledisc Open Sponsorship poll. More than half of the membership has voted already. A runoff poll will be posted for the top two options with a one week time limit if a simple majority is not met.

Runoff polls are another suggestion for improvement in the charter.

Thanks to all who have voted thus far! The response has been much larger than I anticipated. That is great news for streamlining the board of directors work flow and creating a well documented basis for action by the board.

[DGBAMA92]

Why not reserve a room at a restraunt. I'm sure everyone will have a beverage / appatizer while the meeting is going on. That is what we did for the Vet meeting when it changed hands. I believe it was Mercado Juarez.

[Big E]

you are right and it was a huge room if I remember correctly after a "couple of beverages"

[karateputter]

Great ideas guys! David also recommended something along the lines of Main Event. The club will investigate those options this week.

There have been several recommendations for charter updates including a new officer position: Sponsorships Director. If someone is interested in running for that position they are welcome to. Just realize that it must make it into the charter to be on the ballot.

Currently there are two people that have declared their intention to run for an officer position:
<ul type="square"> Heidi Tesch - Promotions Director
Stephanie McFarland - Promotions Director
[/list]
Club thanks go to:
- David Teague for helping with memberships contact information
- Heidi Tesch for proofreading the draft charter (I will update it soon)
- Stephanie McFarland for helping with awards

Members interested in playing a part in the following activities are welcome:
- Awards
- Meeting venue reservations

Let me know!

[karateputter]

Brandon has just announced that he was awarded a grant for the first 18 baskets at Gateway! He has made a request for help in installing the course. I recommend for all Funkytown members to take advantage of this opportunity to experience course installation and participate in what could become one of the key course complexes in Fort Worth. I've asked Brandon to let me know how the FFC can help. I will post more information as I get it. In the meantime get ahold of Brandon at 682-478-9231 for the details! I look forward to seeing FFC members out there.

[karateputter]

Here are the results of the poll:

What sponsorship level should the FFC use for the Titledisc Open?
<ul type="square"> None (1) 4.5%
$50 - website / players meeting / program mention (3) 13.6%
$100 - one teesign plus all of the $50 level benefits / tournament disc (10) 45.5%
$150 - two teesigns, two discs, logos everywhere (8) 36.4%
[/list]22 members responded out of 31 invitations sent.

The poll did not meet a simple majority. I had planned to hold a runoff between the top two; however, I have been told that it would be overkill in this case (especially because it is a test poll to begin with). Since the charter is not yet ratified I'll go ahead and let this vote pass as a plurality. So, $100 it is!

My thanks to everyone that took part in the vote.

[karateputter]

I will be hosting weekly strategy meetings at 6:30am on Wednesdays starting next week. The purpose of the meetings will be to discuss how the FFC can best work to meet the disc golf community's needs. The meeting location is TBD, but it will likely be a breakfast shop central to those who can make it.

Send me a message if you'd like to be a part of these meetings.

[24460]

At 6:30 a.m. Mike, you will be having strategy meetings with yourself.

[karateputter]

So far three people have signed up. I looked around the weekly schedule and found it pretty difficult to assign a regular time for meetings unless it ends up early in the morning or late in the evening on weekdays. I'm open to suggestions though!

These meetings are specifically for the interim period leading up to June 21st elections.

[karateputter]

Brandon has just announced that he was awarded a grant for the first 18 baskets at Gateway! He has made a request for help in installing the course. I recommend for all Funkytown members to take advantage of this opportunity to experience course installation and participate in what could become one of the key course complexes in Fort Worth. I've asked Brandon to let me know how the FFC can help. I will post more information as I get it. In the meantime get ahold of Brandon at 682-478-9231 for the details! I look forward to seeing FFC members out there.



I received some feedback that this sounded like I was saying I want members to go out there to help on an individual basis. My apologies and it was not my intention! We will go as a team. I just got off the phone with Brandon and he has assured me that he will let me know when it's go time. I will post here and on email about workday details as they come! Contact Brandon to thank him for his efforts and find out the grant details.

The course that is planned first will be the west side. I'm told that this course will have some legit par 4's and won't be a deuce-or-die. The best is saved for last on the east side, though, with efforts to bring in John Houck for design and with better land available to use. To get there, we need to do a good job with the west side.

[karateputter]

The meeting location is settled! It will be at Greenbriar Community Center. Shane Mize (community center supervisor) has been very generous and allowed us to take part in the valued user groups program which is a great value to our club! There is plenty of room and not only that, it's right next to one of Fort Worth's newest courses.

I talked with Shane yesterday and he said that he would like feedback on the course design and what can be done to improve it. So, I'd like to hold a mini on the course just before the meeting. Everyone will need to write down their thoughts on what they like or don't like and we can give this back to Shane. This will help improve the course as it grows into a full 18! This mini details are still on the drawing board so suggestions are welcome.

Location is settled. All that's left is the mini and meeting time! It's a bit late for me right now so I'm going to save the planning for that for tomorrow. But my first guess is that the mini will be at 10am and the meeting at 2pm.

[karateputter]

Brice is leading the way for tee pad installations at Crowley and two more are going in this weekend! I will be out of town during this install, but I recommend for members to make it out there and play a part. Meet with Brice and the Crowley club at hole 5 or 14 at 8am on Saturday. Check out the pictures (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=825211&amp;an=0&amp;page=0#Post8 25212) from the last install. Details are here (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=831727&amp;Main=656592#Post8 31727).

[karateputter]

My todo list has gotten to be too big for posting here on the forum. I'm working on a method to have it uploaded to the website instead.

From now on I'll post a weekly status report on Fridays.

I want to thank again all the people that have given their input. It's really helped in the organization process. Thanks!

This weeks accomplishments:
- Posted updated inventory and first draft of charter
- Meeting location determined (Thanks to Shane Mize at GBCC; thanks also to others that have offered suggestions and space)
- Created passwords archive for the websites the club uses (surveymonkey, imageshack)
- Fixed member phone numbers in database (there was column size problem that I didn't notice until after import)
- Updated charter after proofreading (Thanks to Heidi Tesch)
- Finished first poll and Delivered Titledisc Open sponsership
- Met with Shane Mize to find out what FFC can do to help GBCC disc golf and look into meeting room offer
- Began documentation efforts for North Park Agreement and David Landis, P.J. Fry, and Justin Agreement
- Established weekly strategy meeting time (next meeting is May 28th)

[karateputter]

In order to use my time more efficiently, and to have better records, I encourage all feedback to go to director@funkytownflyers.org instead of through private messages on the message board. This greatly simplifies the filing process by keeping it electronic and by preserving accurate date/time information. If you are a member in need of an email account let me know and I will set one up for you on funkytownflyers.org.

Also, we have a binder full of private messages that is part of inventory now.

Thanks!

[karateputter]

Brandon has posted work days for Gateway on June 1st and June 8th. Yesterday Brandon coordinated with me to bring those interested in the course design and plan of attack this Sunday to walk the land. If you have something to offer please get ahold of me! The plan is to walk the course and not do major work just yet. But we will be bringing in some equipment to do preparatory work.

[karateputter]

The tour was great! Gilbert and Brandon showed us their plans and I have to tell you guys, it was pretty exciting! Check out the website (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/albums/20080526.html) to see pictures of the walk through. We finished with a meeting to establish a strategy for workdays and identify equipment needs. We will be posting flyers at various courses advertising the workdays and also working on pricing info for equipment. The current strategy is to spend the next Sunday or two working on paths, tee areas, and greens. The following Sundays would then see heavy duty fairway work. I will post more details as I get them.

Many thanks to the Funkytown members that made it out to contribute their perspectives!

[karateputter]

I've added the member directory (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/members.html). Detailed parts of the directory are password protected in the interest of member privacy. Members will receive the link, username and password by email to access it.

I've also added a categorized club todo list (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/todo.html). Those interested in running for an officer position should look at it to see what kinds of work they would be involved in.

[karateputter]

At the meeting on Sunday we discussed the following needs:

Equipment: wood chippers, brush hogs, pole saws, etc.
Water/Food: Ice water, ice chests with drinks etc. Snacks
People: Need people to help move brush, keep workers hydrated

We have a pole saw offer so far and we are looking for more! Equipment will greatly speed up the work. Let us know if you want to offer your time and/or equipment!

well I cant come that far west I work in Irving! Would it be possible to have at a more centeral place be used like Little Road and 20 (3 blocks from the house) :DBut Arlington is a lot more DFW friendly!

Waiting for that coment....... So should everyone that does not live in the Metro not be a part of the club functions

[karateputter]

I didn't get any commitments from folks east of 820 for this meeting so that is why a central Fort Worth location was picked. Let's try next week for a location further east.

[Big E]

I was waiting for a location before rsvp, maybe I missed something....

[dryhistory]

I was waiting for a location before rsvp, maybe I missed something....



don't make me slap you :p

[karateputter]

Well, there was an invite here (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Board=Club113&amp;Number=814097&amp;pag e=0&amp;fpart=14#Post831318) that was also sent as an email. But this is my first time to host a meeting like this. I welcome advice on what people expect in the invite process. I'm not trying to keep anyone east of Fort Worth out of this meeting. I did try to give as much time as possible for people to notify me they would like to come before deciding on a location. I do think posting a location this late is not wise and I will try to do better next time.

Thanks!!!

[Pogis]

All I am saying is that I think the meeting spot is in a good place. Its in central Ft. Worth. It will take me 15 to 20 min to get there. I dont have a problem with meeting farther east, I just think meeting at the same spot every week would create a lot less confusion.

[karateputter]

I've gotten several emails from people saying they wish they could make it but can't due to work and are curious about what future funkytown meetings will be like.

First off, the strategy meetings are intended for discussion and sharing of ideas and club issues during the interim period. There won't be decision making for the club during these meetings. That is reserved for the June 21st election meeting. I may change the time of these strategy meetings to accommodate more participation, perhaps even to hold a general club meeting. But, once again, these meetings are just weekly discussions to help gain feedback on various club issues and they only last until June 18th. I will also be posting meeting minutes for everyone to see in detail what was discussed.

After June 21st the club will hold regular meetings that will be at a time most of the club can agree on and that the entire club is encouraged to attend. One of the agenda items for the June 21st meeting is to decide as a group what time would be best.

[karateputter]

I will be holding a meeting after the North Park mini this Friday to coordinate Funkytown efforts regarding equipment rental/purchase for the upcoming Gateway workdays. Everyone involved in the equipment discussions should attend and bring with them any research they've done on rentals/purchases. If you can't make it, but have equipment to offer, please send me what you can offer, how it should be transported, etc., in email by Thursday.

The big questions that need to be answered are:
- What equipment do we need for June 1st?
- What equipment do we need for June 8th?
- Which equipment is being offered and by whom?
- Which equipment do we need to buy or rent?
- How will the equipment be transported and by whom?
- Who will be responsible for rentals?

The results will be compiled and used as a basis for action.

[colin-evans]

what is the status of John Houck's participation in the course design?

ce

[dryhistory]

John wants a grand to come and consult for one day. :p

I think we can come up with some ways to make this the two greatest courses ever,without sir houck, what do yall think?

[shaunh]

Other cities have payed his fees and it shows... IMHO

[dryhistory]

which cities? if we agree it is worth it, we can make that happen, everybody speak up....also is it the land or the designer that make the course?

[karateputter]

what is the status of John Houck's participation in the course design?

ce



John Houck's feedback is being sought for the east course.

The west course is mostly planned already and that is what the walk-through on Sunday was about and what the present workdays are for.

what is the status of John Houck's participation in the course design?

ce



With much due respect to Mr Houck, I think this venture can be successful without his assistance.

I do not profess to be a course designer, but i will put my .02 in .

If this course wants to catch the attention of disc golfers everywhere, the design concept needs to focus on taking the ever changing face of disc technology out of the equation.

CLARIFICATION : Too many courses have popped up in the local area within the past 2 years that were designed to disc standards of 2 years ago..

Why not design a course where the TRUE PAR , is a coveted goal.. I hate to see somebody play a course blind and walk off -9 for a round.

That prespective does not require distance , it requires technicality, shot shaping , and a creative shot selection.
Gateway has more than enough natural resources to make that happen.

Take a look at Gary Duke's latest project in Mesquite. To be successful you do not have to throw 500000 feet to score low. You have to hit a hole , shape a shot , be a skilled disc golfer . Why not have that .....

Just me thinking crazy !

[karateputter]

Meeting started at 6:34am.

Attendees: Miles Seaborn, Michael Brownlow

1. Review Charter Suggestions
1.a. Promotions director shall be responsible for keeping the brand
The brand includes the logo, letterhead, and so on and keeping the brand means enforcing a common look and feel for club insignia.

1.b. Add Sponsorships director
Would offload organization work of sponsorships bookkeeping from other directors' duties.

1.c. The club should give a minimum of 10% of revenues to charity
The club should have a purpose beyond itself.

1.d. Better document responsibilities of directors related to communicating with the city.

1.e. If a simple majority isn't met, a runoff vote should be held.
Good to reinforce action over stagnation.

1.f. Add IT/Website Director
There is much work done for the website and technology related matters. It makes sense to give this work load a director position rather than letting the memberships director handle it.

2. June 21st Mini
2.a. Pay structure
Maybe 50% payin goes to GBCC. Other 50% goes to payout. $1 extra for ace. If ace isn't hit, then ace pot goes towards North Park Baskets.

2.b. Format
Maybe do doubles instead of singles?

3. Agreements
Kept agreements simple and easy to understand. 60/40 was suggested as a ratio for reimbursement and basket replacement at North Park.

4. Example club proceedings
Overviewed KCFDC meeting minutes to see how they do things. Agreed it is wise to monitor their club during 2009 worlds to learn from their experiences.

5. June Calendar
Looks complete for now.

Next meeting may be at different location.

Meeting adjourned at 7:22am.

[karateputter]

Reminder: June 1st is the deadline for charter updates and also notifying me of your intent to run for an officer position.

Current Status:

Chairman - Vacant
Vice Chairman - Vacant
Finance - Vacant
Memberships - Vacant
Promotions - Heidi Tesch, Stephanie McFarland
Programming - Vacant
Facilities - Vacant

These two officer positions are under vote to be in the charter:

Information Technology - Michael Brownlow
Sponsorships - Vacant

**Conditional Candidates**
Michael Brownlow - I will run for the chairman position, instead of information technology, if at least two other officer positions have a candidate and the "minimum 10% of revenues to charity" charter suggestion passes in vote.

[karateputter]

Definitions of director responsibilities are in the draft charter (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/docs/20080520%20Charter.pdf).

Here are some key points in the charter based on emails I've been getting:
- The chairman is director of the club and board and must be a current director to be elected
- The vice-chairman is the backup chairman and must be a current director to be elected
- The remaining directors must be an active member to be elected
- The duties of vacant directorships will be split up and handled by directors that are elected

[dryhistory]

these positions are vacant? i know lee stepped down, but i did not here anyone else step down. is anyone running for re-election?

[karateputter]

Britt Browning formally announced on the message board his stepping down earlier this year. Lee and Britt renewed membership in '08 according to my records, but the rest have yet to do so. Going into the interim directorship it was my understanding that Lee was the only active member left on the board of directors.

If the previous officers decide to re-up, I will grant them their responsibilities for the duration of time from now until elections. If Shawn re-up's, he would fill the role of the chairman director and I would step down as interim director and resume the webmaster role.

[dryhistory]

so they were on the board of an organization and instead of resigning they just didnt renew their membership. am i missing something here? are any of those people on lurking? can you enlighten me? thanks

[dryhistory]

ok, i guess what i am saying, is that for example, i am a member of the VFW, a veterans orginazation, if dues are due in january and i have not renewed and it is now may, that does not mean i am no longer a member. it just means i am a member who owes his dues.

also, are our dues due at a certain time of the year or say at the one year anniversary from the time we signed up or renewed?

[Heidi]

That may be true, but most organizations require officers to be current members who have paid their dues. Perhaps this information needs to be clearly stated in the charter.

[karateputter]

Section 4.1 of the current draft does say something about it:

Only active members may be elected and hold office.

However, the charter only applies after it is ratified by the members.

I believe I asked most of them about re-uping but they had become involved with some other projects that would limit their time. I will make sure with each of them today.

[dryhistory]

im just curious how the leadership just stops playing and then doesnt tell anyone that they are out. its super weird is all.

[karateputter]

I have confirmed with the past board members and Shawn and Stacia have resigned.

Colin, however, hasn't had a chance to re-up but wants to and he will be helping out on the interim board of directors. My sincere apologies to Colin for not making sure about this! And thank you David for bringing this up, as it was not dealt with sooner when it should have been.

This brings up an important point. Elections, as defined in the charter, are for 1 year terms starting in January. Because we are holding elections in June, these terms would effectively be 1.5 years. So, the question is if the charter should change to accommodate the current election or be left alone. This will likely go to vote as a suggestion for the charter.

[karateputter]

Here are the current candidates:

Chairman - Vacant
Vice-Chairman - Vacant
Finance - Vacant
Memberships - Misty Smith
Promotions - Heidi Tesch, Stephanie McFarland
Programming - Vacant
Facilities - Lee Letts

Proposed Directorships:
Sponsorships - Vacant
Information Technology - Michael Brownlow

** Conditional Directorships **
Chairman - Michael Brownlow - I will run for the chairman position, instead of information technology, if at least two other officer positions have a candidate and the "minimum 10% of revenues to charity" charter suggestion passes in vote.

I've received some feedback concerning elections that nominations should be allowed up to the election on June 21st. I do like this idea as it gives more new members a chance to be involved if they want to and also gives a chance for former club members to re-up and also be nominated.

Does anyone have any feedback about this? Should the deadline for nominations extend to election day?

[Pogis]

I think it should. A lot of memebers arent online very much and wont really have an idea about it until that time. IMO it would be a smart way to go.

[Misty]

I think so too.

[karateputter]

The general consensus so far is yes from all the feedback I'm getting. And because our voting is only online until the meeting, I will likely go ahead and make an allowance for nominations up to election time.

Now that we are on this topic. What about the charter? Should the charter be deliberated at the meeting and a ratification vote be held at a later meeting? From what I can tell so far, there are enough concerns about the charter that it would be complicated to hold a vote online to prepare it for ratification on the 21st. I am for a public discussion of the charter; however, the club does need to start with something soon provided that it can be modified in the future to adapt the club's general desires. Whatever the club deliberates on June 21st it should be put up for ratification either online or at the next meeting and if it passes 2/3 vote then the club can move forward with that.

[AnotherSteve]

I think so too.

Colin is now back on the board as Communications Director. His role will remain the same and, in particular, he is keeper of the brand. This means he is in charge of the logo and how it can be improved. After elections, this responsibility will likely go to the Promotions Director.

I have tasked Colin and Stephanie with providing some common logo file formats and sizes so that sponsors can easily download them off the website for use in their tournaments on tee signs, shirts, and so on.

I'd like to thank David Teague for helping out Josh Dann with the logo going to the Titledisc Open for our sponsorship. There were some problems with the logo being pixelated and would not have represented us well. After helping Josh, David brought this to my attention and we found that Funkytown needs to improve its file format options for sponsors.

That's not all David has been doing lately. He's been stepping up on club research, gateway park efforts, and providing some valuable suggestions for the charter.

Thanks David!

As I told David in an email, I plan to hold votes on the suggestions for the charter that were covered at the last strategy meeting on June 1st. More suggestions are streaming in and they will be covered at the next strategy meeting before going to vote on June 8th. I expect to do this again for June 15th. We will have one more chance to discuss and adjust the charter on June 21st before the membership votes to ratify it. The charter must be ratified before elections.

The next strategy meeting will be held during the evening based on all of the feedback I've received. Location is still an issue, so suggestions are welcome. But it is likely to be after the wednesday minis.

I have three more self-nominations:
- David Teague for Programming Director
- Shawn Wooten for Facilities Director
- Brice Longerbone for Programming Director

I will make a page on the website soon that shows the current positions and nominees.

[karateputter]

A survey on sponsering the PIASO has been posted. Members should receive an email soon. The poll will expire on June 14th.

Prepare to take a survey on the first batch of charter suggestions. It will be posted on June 1st.

[karateputter]

I've added a leadership (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/leadership.html) page to the website. Check it out to see the latest list of nominees.

[karateputter]

I talked with folks last night after the North Park mini about equipment for Gateway workdays. The consensus for tomorrow is that trimming equipment only is needed. Brandon says that this week is when the final signature by the city is to happen that will allow full work days starting on the 8th.

Everyone that can make it please bring with you water, appropriate clothing for work in the woods, and any trimming equipment you might have available. Workers will be out there from sun-up to when they can work no more.

Remember that we are working as a team out there. You will find everyone on one hole at a time doing work. If you do not see us, give me a call and I will direct you to our location.

[karateputter]

This week we'll try a strategy meeting after the wednesday minis. I'm aiming for 9:15pm at Taco Bell off 820 and Meadowbrook.

Map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=restaurant&amp;sll=32.756964 ,-97.220421&amp;sspn=0.058395,0.135183&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=32.748 59,-97.20892&amp;spn=0.060855,0.135183&amp;z=14&amp;iwloc=B)

How does that sound?

Agenda:
- Director job descriptions for June 21st election
- Term length discussion
- Agreements
- June 21st mini planning

[karateputter]

I've decided to use a trimmed down version of the charter that has just the director descriptions and basic meeting requirements for June 21st. This will reduce the amount of overhead in discussing the charter on election day and also allow the club to design the charter at a comfortable pace.

A discussion and vote will still be held at the meeting to approve the trimmed version before elections are held.

We will be going over the trimmed version during strategy meetings leading up to election day.

Thanks to David Teague and Gilbert Casas on charter/elections feedback.

[dryhistory]

A survey on sponsering the PIASO has been posted. Members should receive an email soon. The poll will expire on June 14th.

Prepare to take a survey on the first batch of charter suggestions. It will be posted on June 1st.



what about sponsoring the Fling, if not cash, plastic or something, any ideas?

[Misty]

I didn't receive an email for some reason!!! :confused:

[karateputter]

Do you mean the PIASO poll or the charter survey?

I've dropped the charter survey because we are going to have a "pre-charter" to get things going for June 21st. That will give more in-person time to work on the charter at club meetings and make it the best it can be.

I will double check when I get back home that your address was included on the PIASO poll.

[karateputter]

Misty, it was sent to your yahoo address. Have you checked the spam folder?

[karateputter]

We covered a lot of ground out there last Sunday! Thanks to all the folks that showed up. Brandon will find out more this week about what we can do next Sunday.

Hey folks,

Dave Emrick has let me know that he only needs $500 more to seal the deal with Weatherford for a full 18. Funkytown will soon be over budget on its sponsorship money for interim period. It's time for members to step up and make a contribution to this effort. Let's raise $500 for Dave and make Weatherford a full 18!

Next time you see either Dave or myself, chip in $10-20. That's all it will take to make this happen! This should be a shoe in and I will keep everyone updated on progress.

[woote01]

That's great news Mike and congrats to Dave! Can't wait to here all the details, but you can count on me for a large donation. ;)

[karateputter]

Just a quick report. We have $140 pledged already with more on the way! This is a great show of support by members!

Dave says that his work with the city has been going very well and that they are ready to help expand and improve discgolf in Weatherford. That means tees, pins, and even tee signs.

As it stands we are only $360 away! Keep it coming folks. I know this is a course that we've been wanting to see complete for quite a while.

[karateputter]

Meeting started at: 9:20pm

Attendees: Colin Evans, Stephanie McFarland, Michael Brownlow
1. Officer Job Descriptions for Pre-Charter
1.a. Basic changes
- Removed requirement for director to be a standing officer
- Removed correspondence with members and oversight of website, email addresses from memberships officer. (All officers correspond with members)
- Added keeper of the brand, responsibility for all merch inventory, to promotions officer
- Adjusted facilities officer responsibilities to be team efforts regarding course maintenance. Removed regular clean-up/maintenance of courses. (That is the job of the local course club!)
1.b. Other items
- Addendum that describes inter-officer communication
- Finance officer duties should be very transparent

2. Term Length
- June 21st term lengths should be 1.5 years to sync up with the end of the year at '09/'10
- Starting Oct '09 work towards 1 year term lengths
- After June 21st elections, nominations start in October '09
- After June 21st elections, elections in January '10
- After June 21st elections, terms start in February '10 (this leaves room for hangover classic efforts and time for transfer of club)

3. Agreements
- To help North Park basket purchases we could set up CFR disc sales and sell at minis/courses

4. June 21st mini
- Payin should be cheap. Possibly $5, with $1 ace, $2 GBCC, and $2 FFC
- No payout except ace pot
- Needs double-sided score cards for feedback info to give back to GBCC
- Flyers need to be made that include:
&gt; directions
&gt; location
&gt; entry fee
&gt; club membership and meeting info
&gt; times
- Possibility of temp holes needed if more than 40-50 people show
- Give event officer nominees responsibility of running mini (they should work together as a team)

Meeting adjourned around 10:30pm

[karateputter]

Mickey Scott brought up a great idea for helping in fund raising and that is using paypal for donations. I told him that because we don't have a tax ID or bank account yet, we can't do it just yet (also, this should be handled by a committee under the Finance Officer after June 21st). But this is something we need to look towards doing in the future.

Josh Dann has offered for Titledisc to assist in some of this process. As a club there would be some special benefits for doing that. Josh sees the possibility that Titledisc can one day offer merchant services for clubs (memberships, merchandise, etc.).

Any other thoughts or suggestions out there regarding the use of online merchant services for donations, memberships, and such?

By the way, we are still at $140 for Weatherford. Only $360 needed!

[demrick]

FYI, this course will be finished with the layout of the back nine being pretty much as it was during the opening tourney, I have opted to keep it that way thanks to the kind words of a few members, plus if I don't re-design I don't have to go back through the approval process with the parks board, and it looks as though the city is also on board with alternate anchors for all eighteen holes
stay tuned...something funky comes this way

[karateputter]

This Sunday we will be working again at Gateway Park. Brandon and Gilbert are working with the city on the final details so we are still doing rabbit trail type efforts. Focusing on greens, tees, and trails.

Remember that the entrance is through the north side of the park off of 1st street.

Last week we started at 7am and finished around 1:30pm. Bring protective clothing, water, and any trimming equipment you can bring along. Also bug spray.

See you there!

[karateputter]

Brice has informed me that the next two Saturdays will be work days in preparation for the Play It Again Sports Open. These workdays should be light duty involving mostly trimming and weedeating. They will be at 10am both Saturdays. Should be fun and easy work! If you've been thinking about being involved in a work day, but weren't sure about full scale course installation like Gateway, this is your chance to try it out. Or maybe you want to try course preparation before a tournament. Whatever the case may be, get out there and make a difference!

Brice is the king in this area for raising sponsership money! Is Teauge running for 2 spots?

[karateputter]

Teague is self-nominated for Events officer, but was nominated for Co-Director by others.

I will add Brice to the nominee list for Sponsorships Officer.

Nominations will be accepted up to the meeting on June 21st. On a side note, the election process will be extended for absentees if a 2/3 quorum is not met.

[karateputter]

It's that time again! Wednesday at 9:15pm. This time we will meet at: Denny's (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=dennys&amp;sll=32.724584,-97.354703&amp;sspn=0.029966,0.052185&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=32.734 187,-97.344961&amp;spn=0.029963,0.068836&amp;z=15&amp;layer=c&amp;cbll= 32.729433,-97.361314&amp;panoid=Qq-R5jtQrbtKHqR3lsXwXw&amp;cbp=1,100.22181128145985,,0,5)

Agenda:

- Review pre-charter officer descriptions
- Finalize June 21st mini details

[karateputter]

One more agenda item for the meeting:
- Finalize FFC agreement documents with David Landis and with IOM Disc Golf at North Park

I'd like to especially thank Lee Letts, David Landis, and Brandon Melton for helping with the agreements. Once finalized I will publish them on the website and the FFC can begin taking action regarding additional fund raising for the North Park baskets. Possibly an ace race!?

[dryhistory]

i will gladly step down from program director if Brice accepts that, then i will accept the vice chair, i think Brice would be good at coordinating amongst all of the TDs, tournaments etcs for the Flyers.

the sponsorships director i dont think should have to do all of the drumming up of sponsors but be a leader in getting the rest of us to pitch in, and i think Brice could do that supremely well

Just to clarify in case anyone is wondering: No one has been elected yet. The only people on the board during the interim period are Colin Evans and myself. Elections start on June 21st at the meeting. Nominations are being accepted up to the election on June 21st. The interim period will end when elections are complete. A flier is being created this week that will help put the meeting in perspective but here are the tentative details:

June 21st @ Greenbriar Community Center
10am Club mini: bag tag challenge, etc
2pm Club meeting: elections, awards, etc.

Follow this link for the details that were emailed out on May 5th: Original meeting details (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=814097&amp;page=0&amp;fpart=12&amp;v c=1#Post825756)

David, you don't need Brice's permission to withdraw from the events officer nomination before elections. But it is a nice thing to let him know.

[karateputter]

the sponsorships director i dont think should have to do all of the drumming up of sponsors but be a leader in getting the rest of us to pitch in, and i think Brice could do that supremely well



Each of the officer positions has been defined with an underlying focus on team work. The sponsorships officer would work with the other officers and club members to bring about sponsorships, for instance. I have been really busy the past week and have been unable to post the latest pre-charter with updates from the last strategy meeting. But I will do that tonight. The pre-charter defines all of the officer positions and how they relate to the club and each other.

[karateputter]

Here is the list of the latest nominations (self-nominations are in bold):

Director - Vacant
Co-Director - David Teague
Officer of Finance - Vacant
Officer of Membership - Misty Smith
Officer of Promotions - Heidi Tesch, Stephanie McFarland
Officer of Events - Brice Longerbone, David Teague
Officer of Facilities - Shawn Wooten
Officer of Sponsorships - Mike Judge, Brice Longerbone
Officer of Information Technology - Michael Brownlow

Gilbert has once again declined nomination for director. Michael Brownlow has been nominated for director and subsequently declined it. Michael has also declined nomination for finance officer. Brice has been nominated for sponsorships.

Send me an email or give me a call if you would like to nominate yourself or others to a position and I'll make an update. Elections are on the 21st.

[karateputter]

The poll closes on the 14th so if you haven't voted yet please do so by then.

[karateputter]

I've created an online course survey for Z Boaz. If everyone could please take the survey then we can use that for documentation when speaking with the city in the future for course improvements. All info would be published anonymously to the city and on the website.

I'd like to do a survey for all of the courses around Funkytown. Let me know what you guys think about this kind of survey and whether we should have more of them. If I get a positive response then I will hold a new course survey each week until we cover them all.

I'd also like to ask what courses everyone would like to see as being close enough to Funkytown to be considered for these surveys.

Last, but not least, feel free to send me your suggestions for improvement on the survey itself!

Thanks!

[Pogis]

Filled mine out tonight! Great idea Mike!

[dryhistory]

happy birfday robert redford

[karateputter]

Great response so far! A little over 1/3 of membership in just 1 day. I think everyone will enjoy seeing these results. I will close the Z Boaz survey next Tuesday and post the results on the website.

The feedback has been good so I will continue to do this survey for more courses. Next week will be Veteran's park. The next two after that will be Greenbriar CC and Bicentennial Park. Then the rest until we finish.

This series of surveys will be grouped together as the 2008 Funkytown Courses Scorecard.

[woote01]

Hey Mike help a dummy out and tell were the survey and polls are so I can get in on the action. :confused:

[karateputter]

Hey Mike help a dummy out and tell were the survey and polls are so I can get in on the action. :confused:



These polls are being held at surveymonkey.com. When I set up the poll I have it send an invitation to members' email addresses. In the invitation is a link that you can follow to take the survey.

If the email didn't make it or got lost let me know and I can have the survey monkey resend the email.

[karateputter]

Last Sunday we worked on holes 8 and 10. Pretty much holes 1-10 can be walked now. Miles and I played the first 10 holes as they are now and it was quite challenging! There is still work to be done though and it isn't set in stone. Brandon is still working with the city on the final signatures and we are following his lead for that. Next week will be an off day for me and others due to PIASO.

The Z Boaz survey will complete tomorrow evening. Now is the time to take that survey or wait until the next time!!

I will need someone to help compile the results into a webpage and also make a handout for the meeting. Anybody want to try this out?

[karateputter]

Just to clarify, I meant the June 29th workday concerning PIASO, not June 22nd. I will probably be out there this coming Sunday for the small crew work that is scheduled!

Steve Sanders has offered to work on the handout for the Z Boaz survey. Anyone else want to work on a web version?

The poll ends tonight at 8pm.

Thanks Steve!

Since the interim period is coming to a close I would like members to visit the website (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/) for club information now instead of depending on messages here or in email.

Thank you for tolerating the amount of message spam I've dished out over the past weeks. I felt it was necessary as I was not elected into the director position and desired as much transparency of club operations as possible until elections.

The meeting is tomorrow at Greenbriar Community Center.
- Mini at 10am
- Elections at 2pm

Stephanie has transcribed the meeting minutes and I hope to post them soon on the website.

Here are the main results of the meeting:<ul type="square"> After nominations, each office except sponsorships had a nominee. Sponsorships officer will be dropped and the responsibilities of that office will be shared amongst the others
There ended up being one person per office:
Director: Michael Brownlow
Co-Director: David Teague
Officer of Finance: Stacia Pierce
Officer of Membership: Misty Smith
Officer of Promotions: Stephanie McFarland
Officer of Events: Heidi Tesch
Officer of Facilities: Shawn Wooten
Officer of Information Technology: Michael Brownlow

An online poll will be held for the membership to confirm these positions as a formal gesture

We had open discussion on the club vision and discussed long and short term goals. A survey on the long term goals will be posted as well
A team has been formed to combine research efforts and organize the Tax ID issue and they will be reporting their findings at the next meeting
[/list]Thanks to Shane Mize and the Greenbriar Community Center for letting us host this meeting at their facility! Also a big thank you to those who could make the meeting and mini! Special thanks to Gilbert for handling nominations.
