Dear Sponsor,

The Waterloo Disc Golf Club is proud to announce that it is hosting the 34th Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic in Austin, Texas. This historic disc golf tournament is the longest running tournament in the Southwestern U.S. and one of the oldest in the country. This year the dates are set for October 14-16, 2011. The 34th Waterloo Classic will again benefit the Austin Ronald McDonald House (RMH).

The RMH is a wonderful non-profit, charitable organization that provides a home away from home for families with critically ill children undergoing treatment at area hospitals. This allows parents the chance to be close to their children when they are needed most.

Thanks to the support of our great sponsors, we have donated more than $71,000 in cash and supplies to RMH over the last thirteen years. The goal for 2011 is to raise $9,000. Won’t you please help by being a sponsor of this wonderful tournament? Sponsorship can be in the form of cash, merchandise, or a combination of the two.

• For a sponsorship of $200 or more: your logo or name on the back of the official tournament shirt, plus on a tee-box sign. This sign will be seen by all of the competitors each time that they play the course. Your logo/name will also be added to the Sponsor List that will be displayed at the course and included in the program distributed to all the players and spectators.

• For $100 - $199: your name on a tee-box sign and on the Sponsor List.

• For up to $99: your name on the Sponsor List.
Please mail all sponsorship to Waterloo Disc Golf Club, PO Box 33531 Austin, TX, 78764 (checks payable to WDGC). If you wish, you may make your check payable directly to Austin Ronald McDonald House in order to get the tax benefits of a charitable donation. For more information, please contact Stevo Barnes at 512-451-2064, or Gordon Maxim-Kelley at 512-858-1615 (gordon@ventbird.com).
Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Gordon Maxim-Kelley

Just got news from Laura Hovey that Waterloo Club Member 220 & Double R Club member 85 Ian Hovey is gone.

Laura's asked that I pass this news on to our disc golf family & that we say a prayer, light a candle, & wish him safe passage. Keep all of the Hovey family in your thoughts & prayers as they struggle through the most difficult time in their lives.

The Hovey's thank everyone for their love & dedication during this difficult time for them.

She said services for Ian will be:

Evening Time Frame @ All Faiths 8507 N I H 35, Austin, TX 78753.

With our area leader Jay Reading off @ World's, she's at a loss for someone to lead the services. Please contact me if you or another fellow disc golfer could help out our family

If you are interested in assisting or contacting for support, please contact the club at: WaterlooDGC@Gmail.com and we will forward your request.

Our love and prayers go out to Laura, John and the entire family. Ian, we will miss you.

Waterloo Club Members, Fans, Friends, and Supporters of Disc Golf...

I have been teasing you and prepping you about a big event, well now I can tell you, THIS IS IT AND WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

Do you remember that lost gut feeling after losing Pease Park before it was replaced? Do you remember the helpless frustration and anger you felt that you couldn't (or didn't) do anything to fight against it and give Waterloo DGC Support when we asked for it?

Well here is your chance at redemption to ATTEND THIS MEETING and let the Disc Golf support be shown.


WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?...
The Waterloo Disc Golf Club Board Members will be presenting our supportive case and encouragement for an 18 Hole Disc Golf Course at Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Park.

Please note: We DO NOT NEED SPEAKERS on behalf of the support for this; we have representatives and community members delegated to perform these tasks. (so thank you if you wanted to speak)

This is a presentation for the PARD (Parks And Recreation Department) Board emphasizing our: topic points, statistical data, and factual information from the various representatives so that they can make the educated decision to allow Disc Golf to be developed in the park.

As noted: This presentation will allow the PARD Board to evaluate and weigh the options in regards to the future of Disc Golf in the Park.


WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE?....
If you remember previously, in November/December 2010 there were very short notices and prompt meetings requesting both sides of information FOR and AGAINST Disc Golf Development in R.G.G.

We asked the Disc Golf community for support and gathered what we could... and in the end, our opinion was drowned out by those who opposed and did NOT FAVOR disc golf in the park.


WHAT NOW?...
We need YOU, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR KIDS, the OLD AND THE YOUNG, and EVERYONE ELSE who supports putting an 18 Hole Disc Golf Course in Roy G. Park to COME TO THE MEETING. We want to show the PARD Board that Disc Golf is supported by ALL AGES and diverse backgrounds!!

Our sport is the ultimate equal opportunity sport!!

We NEED YOU AND ALL OTHERS TO FILL THE MEETING HALL with Disc Golf Supporters... and BRING YOUR DISC or MINI to hold silently as a visual reference that YOU VOTE AND PLAY DISC GOLF in Austin; after all, we cannot have everyone speak, but we can have EVERYONE HOLD A DISC!!
This will show the PARD Board that we can support our causes and show up in great numbers; so when they look out in the audience, they can SEE YOU, YOUR SUPPORT, and YOUR DISC!


WHERE IS THIS?...
PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD
Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - 6:00 p.m.
Boards and Commissions Room
City Hall, 301 W. 2nd Street
Austin, Texas 78701
