*1. Save the Date: YDF Dinner Auction*
The 2012 Youth Development FunDinner Auction will take place on Saturday,
November 17.  Save the date!  More details will posted soon.


*2. Support AGE UP* - http://maker.good.is/projects/AGEUP2012
In case you haven't heard the news, All Girl Everything Ultimate Program
(AGE UP) is in the running for $5,000 in an online voting competition that
ends this Friday at noon.  The Ultimate community has done an incredible
job rallying for this program but we need ONE MORE SURGE to secure our spot
as #1 in the field of 150 projects.

AGE UP is a South Seattle-based girls leadership program that uses the
positive influence of Ultimate to engage youth in long-term intentional
work developing critical awareness, leadership skills, and positive
identity.  Please help them to run their free program for another year.

Vote here: http://maker.good.is/projects/AGEUP2012
And read about AGE UP in Skyd Magazine here:
http://skydmagazine.com/2012/06/vote-for-age-up/

It will take 30 seconds to vote, register, and then confirm your vote via
email. They have been shifting between the 3rd, 2nd and 1st spot numerous
times over the past 48 hours and they need your help to secure #1 by noon
on Friday.


*3. First Beach Ultimate Tournament in Washington* -
http://www.discnw.org/events/SeaPlastic.html
Registration is now open for the first beach ultimate tournament to be held
in the great state of Washington.  The event will take place on July 21-22
in Ocean Shores, WA.  There is room for 8-10 teams to play.  Since beach
games are shorter than "land" ultimate games, we will use a one day format
for the team play on Saturday.  On Sunday, we will mix up the rosters with
a random hat draw.


*4. Play Ultimate - Win a Medal* -

Once again this summer, DiscNW is partnering with the Seattle Sports
Commission to host the Subway Washington Games.  There are one-day
tournaments scheduled for youth and adult players.  Players will play
several games of ultimate, and the winners will receive cool medals as
prizes.  Additionally, there will be distance and accuracy competitions -
with more medals for the winners of those competitions!  Registration is
now open.


*5. Green Bean Coffeehouse* - http://www.greenbeancoffee.org/
DiscNW has been selected as the Nonprofit of the Month by the Green Bean
Coffeehouse in Greenwood.  Early next week we will set up some information
about our organization, and the generous folks at Green Bean will be
donating a portion of their tips from July to us.


*6. Showcase Games* - https://www.facebook.com/events/426075550769842/,

The Australian National Open Team is in town and will be playing against
Voodoo on Thursday (tonight!) and against Sockeye on Friday (tomorrow!) in
Seattle.


*7. June and July PotMs*
We are still putting the final touches on the pages for the June and July
DiscNW Persons of the Month.  We'll post a note on the DiscNW front page
and on our Facebook timeline soon to celebrate some cool persons from the
ultimate community.



Thanks,
William Bartram
Executive Director, DiscNW
