There has been a great response so far to the online pre-registration for Waterloo’s Ice Bowl on Feb 2nd (done through Disc Golf United). Within minutes of the postings and the email going out on Monday we had our first sign-up: John Hovey – fastest keyboard in the west! We’ll have a special prize for John in honor of his speediness.

10 or 11 people signed up that first evening, about 5 more registered yesterday, and we are now up to 20.

The club is looking for more sponsors for our Ice Bowl. We already have three big sponsorships: Disc Nation, Houck Design, and Disc Golf United. A big Waterlooooooo Thank You to these 3 great companies!!!

If you or your club or your company can sponsor, it would help us out a lot. We need lots of merchandise sponsorship for our raffle and CTPs and other giveaways. Cash is always wonderful too, and you can make your check payable directly to Capital Area Food Bank in order to get the tax benefit of a charitable donation.

We hope to raise a lot of money and a lot of food for the Capital Area Food Bank to help them with their important mission of keeping people fed here in Central Texas, but we need your help to do it.

All sponsors will be recognized at the event, on our web site, and through our social media.

Please let us know if you can donate so we can add you to the list. Send emails to gordon@ventbird.com or waterloodgc@gmail.com, or call the club cell phone: 512-994-9508. You can bring your sponsorship with you to Zilker Park the morning of the Ice Bowl (Sat. Feb 2nd) or you can mail it ahead of time to us at: WDGC, PO Box 33531, Austin, TX, 78764. Please send it early enough so that it arrives by Thursday, Jan. 31st.

Thanks!
