Let's Check Out the Scoreboard

It's that time in the game where I gotta take a step back and check out the scoreboard. Over the past month, I have jumped in over my head and taken on some extra-curricular activity. I have been working an internship at the Department of Natural Resources during the day, and fundraising/training at night. I signed up for, and back my own money against, raising $1,000 for the American Cancer Society. In return they will sponsor me in the Des Moines Marathon October 16th. Why I did this exactly, I am still trying to figure out. For the majority of the fundraising, I am hosting my first Frisbee Golf Tournament, "Frolfing for a Reason." Let's take a look at the scoreboard Alex:

Things To Do

This list could go forever.

-Reach out to more media (C'mon ya'll it's for a good cause)
-Follow up with raffle donations locations:
  Wellmans, Century Theater, Spot-Less Car Wash, Fredrich's Coffee, Starbucks (as many as I can), The Funny-Bone, Active Endeavors, Coldstone Creamery, plus anywhere else in the Des Moines metropolitan area
-Course Maintenance (Signs and Scorecards)
-Get more corporate sponsored holes (I wish their was a website for this)
-Bust out the 20 miler this weekend
-GET THE WORD OUT!

It's hard to believe where I was a month ago in this endeavor. I had little to no contacts or anything put together, but thanks to a few friendly souls, the snowball has been created. Want to know if it will blow up in my face? You can come on down to Ewing Park October 2nd and find out. While you are there you might as well play a little Frisbee golf for a good cause.

If you want to help out in anyway, drop me a line, find me on Facebook, or blow a couple of smoke signals over that yonder hill; I always appreciate the communication.

Keeping it Easy,
