#5 - Junkyard Golf Course and Community Building Event with Potluck

Junkyard Golf Course and Community Building Event with Potluck
For some no longer obvious reason, I found myself working on a lovely little pamphlet describing what was really my first actual Junkyard Golf community building, family event. It was a family event for a small pre-school in Palo Alto called "Leaping Lizards." And it was transforming. So transforming that I eventually transformed it further into a significantly successful teambuilding event - one that has been used with great effect at, for example, Southwest Airlines. A Junkyard Golf Course and Community Builting Event with Potluck isn't like your average family or community event. It's what you might call exceptional. It's a few hours where everybody can play. With almost any one. With almost anything.
Think of the creativity and collaboration, invitations to inclusion, incentives for sharing, that all somehow connect people a little closer to each other and to the world they actually live in together.
Anyhow, I worked hard on transforming it back - describing in depth and detail how Junkyard Golf can be used as a community event for all ages and nationalities and abilities and genders. And when it was finished, it felt really good. I mean, I liked it. A lot. It was clear. Fun. Accessible. It conveyed the spirit and purpose that I felt the first time I experienced a Junkyard Golf Course and Community Event with Potluck. It spoke directly to people who work in schools and community-based organizations, with the young, with the elderly. It spoke to everyone who cares about things like sensitivity to people and planet. And I beheld it in all its graphical splendor. And I packaged it into a PDF file. And I saw it was good.
So I decided to give it away. For free. To you. For you and all those people and purposes you'd like to have a little more fun with.
Click here. And it's yours in 2 megabytes. 10 pages. Illustrated.
Use it in the best of fun.
