Hey everbody, I got this email from Courtney Elder from The City of Live Oak:
<font color="red">
Hey Laura
I was wanting to talk to you guys a little about park day coming up on April 14th, which is a Saturday. I was hoping for a few things in fact.
1. Maybe some of the disc golfers would be willing to volunteer in some capacity. They could possibly wear some disc golf shirts and even get their name out a little more.
2. I thought the disc golfers might want to have either an informational booth, or a game booth. The idea that came to mind was maybe the portable basket and trying to throw discs in...but I have lots of other ideas if you would rather do something else!
I would really like to talk in person if that is ok. Maybe we could meet out at the park when it fits your schedule. My main goal is to get disc golf out in the public eye as much as possible, and I thought that this would be a good way to do it. Let me know if you are interested, and we can plan some time to get together. Thanks so much.

Remeber, Park Day is an all day event,(till 10pm) so if some of Y'all want to stop by after we'll be there for a while. You can call us first and see how it's going to see if it worth the trip. I know y'all will get done late in the afternoon.

Locked in the disc golf booth this morning. This should result in a great turn out of the public due to the high intrest of the game, looking for info @ city hall per Courtney. We already have some great ideas coming together, as darkness falls we will be highlighting night golf as well. If any of you get a chance, come by and give your 2 cents to the community. Here's our chance to really promote our game.

<font color="red"> Also, they want us to join their 4th of July Parade!! :D Jimbob and I have Innova, Discraft, & Twisted Flyer Banners to decorate either my truck or someone else's truck and have a few volunteer disc golfers ride on the back of the truck throwing mini's to the people!! :D:DCourtney was saying that people are actually calling her office and asking about disc golf and where they can buy discs and learn how to play, so she thinks this parade would be a positive thing!! So who wants to ride in the back of my truck? :D</font>

Jason haven't you got rid of those misprint mini's yet? Send some this way and maybe you will be famous all over the world :eek:
Wish I could be there guys and gals. Say hi to everyone for me. Tell Courtney I said hi.
Laura that was me trying to call last night. I could hear you but I guess you couldn't hear me. Sorry it wasn't a crazy stalker only me. Will email Money when I return home. :D
I am running my first event this weekend since the Texas 10 Final. Anyone remember that? Info and photos next week.
Yours in Flight,

Que'pasa Chris, Yeah that was a weird call. Glad to hear your still active in the game. Now to all Americans, we are in need of used disc or minis for sales, give-a-ways and prizes. There has been 193 views on this post and only 10 replies. :confused: If we can get one used disc/mini from each club member that would be awesome. Remember this is to get new players in on the leauge, which in turn means bigger ace pots, party funds, etc...We are really gonna try to make this work in the most positve way possible. If donations are slim come 14 April, so be it, we'll still be there planting the seeds, what they produce will be up to all of us. Too bad we can't just roll up with the Thunder! :cool::D

We need to have one made maybe before Park Day. I can get some quotes and maybe we can add $1.00 more to the mini entry fees for a LODGA Banner Fund? Any Suggestions?

For a family that sure likes to fight amongst each other, we really come thru for each other when it counts. THANK YOU to all of you for the donations and support of this event. 104 pieces of plastic, not counting all the mini's, stickers, banners, etc... Weather looks like it's gonna cooperate, looking forward to spreading the word. Booth should look pretty cool if all goes as planned. Be ready to support the new players, it's not always about the $$$, which I can see you know from all the generous donations. Keep it the fairway, the city is watching.

Great day out there, Big props to Pellman for helping me set-up!! Booth was awesome. Thanks to Stacey,Bird,RT,Josh, up daug, Pete, Carlos, Brian, Gaskell, and Painter for stopping in and making the chains ring in the wind. Gave/sold out all of the donation items, made $80 for club funds. I believe we had the most visited booth, besides the food and beer guys. The buzz is out, folks are excited to get into this game. LOLO's can expect at least 8 new women of the 14 that took flyers and want to learn. People were waiting in line to get there turn to see what everyone else was in line for, alot of people didn't know what the game was, and after a brief run down they left with disc's in hand. All's well, city is happy, we'll see what happens in May.
