Hello Friends!
What a great turnout for convention last weekend. Dubuque did pretty good with awards. You'll have to come to the next general membership meeting on the 18th to find out what we all won.
Speaking of the upcoming General Membership meeting, we want to encouraging everyone to wear their "Help Haiti" shirts so show our support. As an added incentive, anyone who wears their Haiti shirt to the February General Membership meeting will have their name put in a drawing to get their $10 back for their shirt, and we'll draw 3 luck winners.
If you don't own a "Help Haiti" shirt, see further down in the email about how you can purchase your own shirt.
Until next week! |

February Membership Frenzy
Attention all Dubuque Jaycees, we are running our first membership incentive program of the year during the month of February. During the month of February, we will keep a running tally of each new member you recruit and at the end of the month, the person with the most new recruits will win a JCI Polo and Pad Folio.
This is a great chance to start off our year with strong growth and to build our chapter for years to come. Reach out to your friends and co-workers, let them know what we do and bring them to a meeting, social, or ID event. The benefits to membership are many, let's bring others into the greatest young professional network in Dubuque, in Iowa, in the United States, and in the World!
If you have any questions, please contact either myself or our Membership Vice President, Beth McGorry.
Thank you,
Chris Puetz
President, Dubuque Jaycees
