Dubuque Jaycees
Greetings!
 
I would like to challenge you to sign a new member over the holiday weekend.  We are almost at growth for the month of May, so to encourage you, I'm personally funding a $50 Hy-vee gift card to the member who signs the most new members to the Dubuque Jaycees!
 
You need to email myself and Beth McGorry by Monday at 5pm if you have a new member join.
 
To sweeten the deal even more, state is offering some incentives as well.  Read the below message from Iowa Jaycee President, Jen Gracie, for details.
 
Get out there this weekend and promote our chapter!

Friday Fire-Up Challenge!
 
The 2010 Membership incentive t-shirts are here!
You can earn one by recruiting for this Friday's Fire-Up Challenge! :)

This week's Fire-up Friday Challenge will earn you a t-shirt when you help your chapter get to growth!

Each chapter will earn 1 t-shirt when their chapter achieves growth for the month of May. Currently we only have three chapters at growth. We have MANY chapters that are even or sitting at -1 or -2.  They only need a few members to get to growth!

I know you guys can do it! These t-shirts are very cool and I would love to hand out a ton of them at June convention in Waterloo! You can give them to your president, membership VP, the recruiter or even THE NEW MEMBER!

Please turn in your new member information to your Regional Director by 5 p.m. on MONDAY. They need time to enter it into the system on Monday night!

Congratulations to the three chapters already at growth! Ankeny, Mason City and Iowa City!

And just like those infomercials....
BUT WAIT! THAT'S NOT ALL!

For each member you recruit this weekend that gets your chapter to growth, you'll receive a logoed item! THAT'S RIGHT! A t-shirt PLUS a logoed item for each new member!

For example, if your chapter is -2 and you recruit 3 new members this weekend, you'll receive 1 t-shirt and 3 logoed items. The logoed items range from hats, mugs and keychains to magnets. Incentives will be passed out at the Waterloo convention for those in attendance.

If you'd like to see the t-shirt design, check out my Facebook page!

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend and keep sending in those new members!
Keep working "Harder Better Faster Stronger!"
