Dear DISC Members,
Here at DISC, we try to balance the objectives of keeping you informed and not
clogging
your inbox, but I am warning you that you may get more frequent notices than
usual from
us this fall. Why?
One - Because we are expecting to begin installation on the Chavez Ridge DGC at
Elysian
on Sat. Sept. 10th. If you have not had a chance to sign up to help yet (and I
have it on
good authority that many have yet to sign up), please go immediately to
www.burbankdiscgolfers.com and click on the top banner to get to the sign up
page.

Please give John Babin and Mike McNamara your name, phone and email there so
that they
can contact you when the install plan is ready for volunteers to commit to
specific shifts
(soon). The plan at this point is for 4 four hour shifts per weekend. Can you
spare 4
hours to help? Thank these Burbank guys (BIG TIME) for stepping in to
coordinate the
installation. Also thank Cliff Towne, Chris Ginnaven, Tita Ugalde, Dan Reza,
Andrew
Garsten and Jon Freedman for their help on various phases of this project. (Hey
- thank
yourselves as well your support of DISC has made this course possible.)
There will be
hole sponsorship opportunities for Chavez Ridge also look for that info as
soon as we
nail down the installation budget a little better.
Two The production of the video of our youth disc sports program with LAUSD is
going
great. South Youth Services stepped up and gave our 4 top schools a field trip
to LAOUT's
Summer Ultimate Finals this past Sunday (great photos of our kids playing in
Monday's
Daily News - page 6 entitled "Disky Business"). LAOUT invited us to hold an
elementary
school tournament in conjunction with their event. CE Courtney, Tony, Lee, Jim
and some
other generous, professional film makers volunteered to cover Discsports In
Southern
California's Summer Juniors Ultimate Tournament (wow watch out Hoop Dreams and
Mad
Hot Ballroom!). Congrats to Wilmington Park for winning the event. Woodlawn
came in
2nd with Cimarron and Lillian at 3rd and 4th. Contact me and I will email a
quicktime file
teaser of some of the early footage. We will have a great tool to help spread
disc sports
when this project is finished. Our 2005 Summer Program with the kids will end on
8/19.
Both kids and staff are looking forward to the tournament that will take place
this fall or
winter (you will get notice when the dates are set).
So, if you have been looking forward to a disc golf course in LA for YEARS
please help
out some more and go to http://www.burbankdiscgolfers.com/elysianpark.htm to
sign up
on the volunteer list to help install the Chavez Ridge DGC, and if you want to
view a rough
edit teaser of the video project with the kids, just email me and I will forward
you a
quicktime file that Tony of Peck Media put together with some of the early
footage.
