Not all the reports are in for the Ice Bowl but today we're in 10th place. Dean, Thor, & Frank were there & everything went well. Choosing pictures & giving input for what's going to be published in the Herald News. Terri took us on a tour & I was quite impressed to the depth of their outreach. They screen who they help. They have a standard helping the truly needie. You can't be a drunken jerk who needs a place to sleep with a free meal.If one comes in with that status, they dry out with help from the police & go back to be interviewed. They help whole family's. They train people to be self sufficient. We did a good thing J-Town!!!
I didn't play Channahon for a week or so and was expecting a mess of litter. I only picked a couple of cans. Johnnie B. said he was doing his share of picking up & I'm sure others have also. It's nice to see that! Way to go J-Town!!!
The formal presentation to Morning Star Mission, from the J-Town Ice Bowl will be Friday 03/19/10 1:00pm. Your welcome to come. The address is, 350 E. Washington Joliet, Illinois 60443-1550
I passed on what Mick suggested. What are we going to do? It doesn't please me to see Channahon abused. Gary cringed when I told him about leagues. You can't get to #12's tee from 11's basket without walking back to #10's tee & walking on the pavement back over the bridge. Look at it this way, it will make Gary Lewis happy that we don't make a bad situation worse. we'll have summer to play West Park.
Ryan, You may find your post hilarious but do you really think it's appropriate on a message board? Don't you think that's more of an e-mail kind of thing? Thanks for offer to help at Highland. Frank
You can come to League or tag challenge Saturday or Sunday. This week it's West Park, & just ask someone, they will point you in the right direction. 10:am Sat. 11:00am Sun.
As some already know there is buzz about concrete tees for Highland. Some of the obvious hurdles are money & labor. I'm helping Darrin & Jessie put a game plan together. Some of the tees will be difficult to get to. With enough people we may do the difficult, not much is impossible, & certaintly not the hard to get tees at Highland,with enough help. Get a hold of Darrin & give your level of experience in concrete. Depending on the game plan we may need strong backs. We could get a concrete pump truck but that's not cheap. Lets see if we can get something going.

I know thanks is ordinary, but Thanks! J-Town is a new club & it took many to mesh together to have this tournament. A grateful Thanks to all involved.
So since so many things have changed about the layout, format and whatnot, here are a few more things to be aware of for this weekend:
OB
hole 1) on/ over the tracks hole 2) on/ over the tracks hole 3) over the fence hole 4) over the fence, where the fence ends, the curb is ob line (there are flags from fence line to curb denoting OB line) hole 16) on/ over path temp hole A (if needed) on over path to the right
MANDOS hole 6) must throw to the right of the tree with the yellow ribbon (drop zone to the right of the tree marked by flags) hole 17) must throw to the right of the tree (drop zone to the right of the tree marked by flags)
Hole 6 mando was added due to tree trimming creating a path that goes in a direct line with long tee for hole seven (safety issue)
I wish I could make it but I'm still getting over the last three of months working on the J-Town charity. It's too bad more from FVM couldn't make it to J-Town's Fund Raiser.
