Public Service Announcements Announcement: The Altamont Disc Golf Course Project
Posted by admin on Monday, November 10 @ 00:11:46 EST (183 reads)

At the Chamber of Commerce banquet the public was introduced to a proposed Disc Golf Course in Altamont.  Disc golf is the fastest growing sport in the United States and courses have been constructed in the nearby communites of Effingham, Vandalia and St. Elmo.  There are a number of Altamont residents who are avid Disc Golf fans that play on a regular basis.  The Altamont High School phyical education department is also looking at including it in their curriculum.

Disc Golf is a sport that offers low impact exercise and fun for old and young alike.  The basic idea is to throw a disc (Frisbee) from a tee area and land it in a upright chain / basket hole down course in as few throws as possible.
The Proposed Disc Golf Course in Altamont



The course has been laid out by Mark Drone (Regional Sup. of Schools and EDGE member) and is just waiting for funds for the baskets and the tees.  If you would like to make a donation or become involved in the process please email the Altamont Chamber Webmaster
For more information view the Disc Golf PowerPoint Proposal

The Altamont Chamber of Commerce announced at their Banquet that The Altamont Chamber Citizens of the year for 2008 are Jeanne and Dale Wolff. 

They were raised on farms only 7 miles apart, by parents who taught them to love the Lord and serve Him in everything that they do.  They met at age 14 in Freshman English class at ACHS.  They both graduated from Altamont High School and the University of Illinois. They were married in 1969 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.   They lived in foreign countries, served on mission fields, and in 1977 they returned to Altamont where they have lived and raised their family of 4 children.   Throughout their lives each has tried to make a difference wherever he or she saw the need.
