Dubuque Jaycees!

If you've read the Letter from our Chapter President, Chris Puetz, he's thrown us a Membership Challenge to be 160 members strong by the end of the year.

If we meet that goal we get the honor of having the National President, Jeff Lank at our Pass the Gavel on January 7th.


Chris is even going to reward us if we meet this goal.
- for the Chapter he'll reward us by covering
the first $500 during cocktail hour at Pass the Gavel.

- for the top recruiter (starting now) he/she will receive a gift of Dinner and a Movie for two from the Chapter
- the second and third place recruiters will also see some nice prizes come their way


You know we can do it!
2010 Terror At The Fair
   Volunteers Needed

The Dubuque Jaycees 2010 Terror at the Fair project is open at the Dubuque County Fairgrounds! We are still in search of 5-7 extra members or friends of Jaycees to help with this creepy, fun community event. The Jaycees will have costumes available for volunteers to use or you are welcome to bring your own. Beverages and a meal at the end of the night will also be available for those who help.

The following dates help is needed are:
October 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 

The time for Light Fright is 6:30pm-7:00pm-Full Fright will begin once the last Light Fright purchaser has left the building.

*It's recommend people to arrive early around 6pm to go over some safety issues, overlook the maze layout (exit points), and have extra time to assemble their costumes.

If you have any questions please contact Nathan (Community Development VP) at natlange75@yahoo.com or call 663-2141.
