I would love to work with someone on an ice bowl...I have a few thoughts and ideas about one either at shorewood or channy.  If you're interested, lemme know and we can chat about it!!

Hey Thor,

You should have one at Trinity. Trinity Services can be the beneficiary of cash raised and if they don’t accept food then a local Lockport food bank can benefit. We used to travel to the Ice Bowl in Milwaukee every year and it was a great time.

Here’s a link

Thor,
I would like to see this promote a local food bank. The most obvious in the Joliet area is Morning Star Missions.
I'll search further, but it's my understanding that it doesn't receive government aid. I think it would be easier to get local promotion for a local chariety.
I would like to mirror what Fox Valley is doing with Hesed House, promoting a local food bank.
I'll be thrilled to assist you with that goal in mind.

Frank
that is a great idea... J town should be helping the joliet community.  If you have the contacts let me know and we will make the switch.. right now northernilfoodbank.org is the people i ahve been talking to

I met with Morning Star Missions this afternoon & they offered help tournament day. Interestling they wanted to have an Ice Bowel but after looking into it was more than they could handle. I'm excited that we are doing something to help the needy in our area!
I've thought this for sometime of what a good community of disc golfers we have in the Juliet area, that must include Jason Poole for getting the club started. Many know that this area is a strong for disc golf but it just hasn't moved up to the next step. I'm thrilled about moving forward in our community.
I would like to promote synergy. We have a solid base that's been in hibernation, with many Good people.
Much thanks to Thor for starting Ice Bowel!!!
