Join us after work for a picnic and beer pouring event!!
Each year, the Jaycees raise funds by pouring beer at many of Dubuque's premier festivals and concert series.  As part of our contract, we are required to review proper pouring procedures on a regular basis.

Join us right after work at 5:30 p.m.!  Beer pouring demonstration and tour of 7G facility begins at 6 p.m.

Free brats on the grill and all the fixings!  Bring a dish to pass for the picnic following.  Bean bags and other games will be provided.  Sign-up at the next general membership meeting or on facebook with what you plan to bring!

Potosi Brewery Social

 

Friday, May 27 at 7:00 PM

 

Come join us for a night of fun at the Potosi Brewery.  This is more of a laid-back, ad-hoc get-together. We will receive our own private tour of the Brewery Museum and their beer production facilities.  This is all complimentary; only buy your dinner and drinks.  

 

We will receive our own private area with our own serving crew. We do have the option of having a dedicated bartender with a fully-stocked bar; the rate for that is $15 per hour.

 

Transportation details are still under investigation and are forthcoming.  

 

There is a capacity limit of 36 attendees for the room.  Please Email any questions or RSVP to Justin at dubuquejaycees@gmail.com by Friday, May 20

Relay For Life

 

Relay for Life

My name is Alyson Tasker and I'm the Team Captain for the Dubuque Jaycees' 2011 Relay for Life team.  I'm proud to say it's the Dubuque Jaycees' 3rd year participating in Relay For Life, which will take place June 3-4, 2011.
 
Being on an American Cancer Society Relay For Life team is an amazing experience.  Picture the scene: you're surrounded by your family and friends, urging each other on to make another lap around the track. The air is filled with the sound of laughter and sometimes tears, as our community celebrates those who have fought cancer, remembers the loved ones we've lost, and fights back against a disease that has taken too much from too many.
 
It would be an honor to have you on our team for this year's Relay For Life. The American Cancer Society is saving lives by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back. Are you ready to join the fight?
