Dear Disc Denizens of Hellyer Park,
The new year has arrived and it's time for the Annual Meeting of the Silicon Valley Disc Golf Club. Join us at 9 AM on Saturday, January 25, at 3880 South Bascom Avenue, Suite 115, San Jose, CA. Enclosed is your proxy in the event you are unable to attend the meeting. Use the enclosed, postage-paid envelope to return your membership application, annual dues, donations and proxy. Just as a reminder, the Silicon Valley Disc Golf Club is an IRS 501(c)3 non-profit charitable trust and your donations are tax deductible and greatly appreciated.
We used your donations recently to plant 8 Sycamore trees, 8 rose bushes and 24 Toyon bushes. We placed a couple of new basket locations on #17 & #18. There's a new bench on #16 and the hillsides are sprouting rock hedges. The rock hedges prevent your errant putts from rolling down the hillside as well as putting a stop to the slide shots up the hillside. The next regularly scheduled work day is the 5th Saturday of March or March 29th. We'll be there at the usual time of 10 AM to 2 PM.
The most consistent money-maker for the Club has been the monthly tournament. We've averaged about $150.00 per month and our continued thanks go to Mark Bruce for conducting this event almost every 2nd Saturday of the month for the last 3 years.
We've developed a sponsor program for benches. For $500.00 you can have a bench located at either a front or back tee location and you'll be acknowledged with a placque on the bench. The bench will be park-quality with a seat-back and be anchored in with cement footings.
Thank you for your continued support of disc golf at Hellyer Park. Your money and time spent to improve the course has benefited untold numbers of your fellow disc golfers. Spread the word and we'll see you at the course!
