I was pleased to see the great support for the MS Society this year.
Raising $1475 is a great effort and we especially appreciate Tammy
Manatt doing such a great job.

As I have in the past, I'd like to invite suggestions for positive
changes for the 2008 Iron Man. You can send email to me directly at
Ken-at-PinchotDiscGolf.com. I'll consider every serious suggestion and
review the options for next year.

I've tried to vary some of the elements over the past years but if you
would like to see something different, now is the time to speak up.
Just make it positive and clearly explain what you'd like to see and
why you think it would improve the event.

In my perspective, the Iron Man has been primarily a fun way of
raising money for a good cause. But I have also tried to incorporate a
competitive element and a family picnic atmosphere. Our expenditures
usually equal or exceed what we take in on the entry fee, so it really
has not been a fundraiser for DG.

I've tried to make the Iron Man a unique event with a unique prize
system. Some have mentioned the clocks positively.... and I am willing
to continue the tradition.... or consider alternatives if some other
prize would be more valued. Comments are welcome on the current system
of cash payout for positions 1-5, plaques for 6-10, and the random
drawing so everyone takes something home.

I'm just trying to find out what is satisfying and/or what other
alternative I might be able to consider.

I'm listening.
