Bring your family to the CHS Student parking lot [across from Gleasons Cleaners] from 9 AM-3 PM. The parents of this CHS club are hosting a fundraising event to send our kids to regional and national competitions.
Activities include:
Multi-family garage sale
Ultimate Frisbee clinics at noon, 1:00 & 2:00
Bake sale
Sale of t-shirts and discs
Ultimate Frisbee began in 1968 on the very spot where our fundraiser will take place. We receive no funding from the school district.

It sounds great; we'll be there.
Is it true that Ultimate Frisbee started in NJ? How cool is that! |

I would need to do some research, but I don't think Ultimate Frisbee started in NJ.
I did read that article in the Ledger a few weeks back, so I could be wrong. Sorry, I can't do the leg work, but I can challenge the statement. I was playing ultimate back in high school in Brooklyn at Marine Park back in the 70s, so I know it's at least that old. Prove me wrong, I'm 'listening'  . |

Joel Silver [yes, the movie producer] was one of the first to play at Columbia HS. He was in the class of 1969.

And a pretty successful one, too.
Remember the Matrix trilogy?
He's THAT Joel Silver.

How could you not know that Ultimate was born here? You're all idiots!
<-- Bets, about to be banned for the first time ever! |

Hey, I don't think you'll be banned, but I just moved here. Am I an idiot because the Realtor didn't mention that this was the birthplace of Ultimate?
It's a great selling point though. It might explain all of the aging hippies with rainbow peace signs as avetars...

Oh, crap, now I'm gonna get banned. |

I've gathered that Maplewood was actually a pretty conservative place until 10 or 20 years ago. In fact, it is still, really, except for our politics.

Bets is young, not aging at all.
Tom, I grew up in South Orange (and I am aging). I would have said SO-MAP was very liberal always, but I never put too much thought into it. Seems like alot of my peers' parents were VERY cool. |

Oh, and I played Ultimate at the "frisbee field" in the very early 70's. |
