SCOVER THE CENTER ACTIVITY REPORT
OCTOBER 7, 1995
Char Waughtel, Debby Diamond, and
Karen Youngberg met at the Chuckwagon Inn to discuss our Winter
Event for Discover the Center.
Some suggestions for committee action were Bingo - during the
Dudley Classic - A Taste of Brooklyn Center - At Brookdale - either
during our winter event or Earle Brown Days - Continuing the
Walk/Run during Earle Brown Days - Plus our winter event.
We decided to go ahead with the winter event plans. These include a
9 hole golf tournament at Central Park and some kind of an event
indoors (Constitution Hall) on Jan. 27th. We do have Constitution
Hall for that day. I am in the process of talking to Arnie Mavis from
•, the Park and Rec Department and the Centerbrook Golf Course
Manager.
We will do a 9 hole tournament with a sponsor at each hole. We will
contact various restaurants in BC to see if they would like to sponsor a
hole and provide food or beverage. If we can not get 9 restaurants to
sponsor a hole we will try Civic /Community groups and other
businesses. Debby will call out to Wayzata and see if they charge for
the people who are sponsoring a hole and any other info she can get.
We will charge eight or nine dollars for each golfer with children 6 to
12 golfing for five dollars. We are going to work with the Park and
Rec Dept to see if we can get a discount for children swimming if one
of their parents are golfing.
We are going to hold something in Constitution Hail running
concurrently with the Golf Tourney. Whether this will be a craft show
or a Kalidoscope type event with businesses, churches, schools, hobby
groups, civic groups, ect promoting their area of interest will be
decided at our next meeting.

This event will be held on Jan 27, 1995 from 11 to 4.
Debby got the following info from Wayzata Chamber - who sponsors
the Golf Tournament there. They have 3 different 9 hole courses.
They have a sponsor at each hole featuring food - drinks - ect. They
do not charge the sponsors a fee for sponsoring a hole. Each of the
groups leave the starting point about 5 minutes apart. Each golfer
uses 1 club and they golf with tennis balls. They play for the best
scores. Their tournament is called the "Chile ( ?) Open" and the name
is copyrighted. They also have an auction with their tournament.
We could have high score or a Best Ball tourney or some other type of
method of giving out prizes. I am not a golfer so I don't know if there
are other types of tournaments for golf.
The Brooklyn Center Newsletter and the Parks and Rec Newsletter will
be out on Dec. 22. Deadline for the Newsletter is Nov. 17. Terry
Swanson will write an article for us. The Parks and Rec deadline is
Dec 15 for a flyer to be inserted.
