      2. 3 people were there, Thanks Rob Beach, John Anderson, Tim Sharp
3. New Agenda Items
   1. SPS Disc Golfers FB group
      1. Lots of spam in our group.
      2. Couldn’t find a way to make a private group. Possibly make a new private group.
      3. McCarty volunteers to help moderate, if we create a new group.
      4. Josh will double check to make sure we can’t make it private.
   2. Intro to disc golf thru Lacey Senior Center starting in September
      1. GPD contacted by Justin Beard and interested in giving lessons to seniors.
      2. 1 day a week. No set agenda at the moment, but GPD will feel it out to see how it go.
      3. Take it by ear. No fee to participate.
      4. Do we want to run discs for lesson? No, GPD said he has enough to cover, unless there is more interest.
   3. Bees
      1. GPD has been out at all the courses, John got stung at Evergreen.
      2. One on 11 at WCP.
      3. Hole 10 at Evergreen in the landing zone. McCarty knows where.
      4. Any more found, please report.
   4. Fundraiser for TCI
      1. Thurston County Inclusion is a non profit to provide resources and events for kids aged 5-21.
      2. They want to work with us to create fundraiser events.
      3. Idea is 2 events.
         1. Pro/Am doubles at Delphi is a possibility. Coincide with west coast swing to attract people with the allure of playing with a touring pro.
         2. Other event could be a kids fundraiser, birdie run with a custom short layout at WCP.
      4. We need to contact interested parties like Chandler Fry and Jeff Spring to coordinate efforts.
      5. Any other ideas are welcome to help create a successful and profitable event.
4. 2023 Events
   1. South Sound Classic
      1. 146 players
      2. Was cool to see a lower rated player win MPO, first a tier win

      4. The only real glitch was the portapotty didn’t show up at Evergreen.

      3. Ed Kunkel might be a good ally.
6. New Disc Golf Course Leads
   1. Schafer park
7. Anything Missed
   1. GPD talked to dog walker who said disc golfer threatened her. Do we need to reiterate that WCP is a multi-use park?
