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?
To register to join our Relay for Life team, please follow the link below to our Team Page, and click on the "Join Team" icon. Register Here
If you are unable to join our team, but still want to make a donation, I encourage you to please do so. Just follow the above link to our Team Page, where you'll be able to make a secure online donation.

June Individual Development Event
Wednesday, June 22 at 6:30 PM Come join the Jaycees at the Potosi Sportsman's Club in Potosi, WI on Wednesday, June 22nd for trap shooting. We will be starting at 6:30 PM and will try to car pool from Dubuque. If you would like to carpool to the event, please meet at the Diamond Jo parking ramp at 5:30 PM. Never shot a gun before? No problem, we will have instructors on hand that will provide both firearm safety and basic shooting fundamentals. They will also be available to help guide you through your rounds. This is a fun and exciting event for both new and experienced shooters alike. You may bring your own shotgun if you wish; otherwise, guns will be provided. Each participant will fire 15 shots in rounds of five. You may bring your own shells if you like, but shells are included in your 15 shots (only 12 gauge shells are available). Prizes will be awarded for the best scores. If time allows, extra shooting may be available if you desire. Plan on a stop at the Potosi Brewery afterwards for a cold refreshment. Cost to participate is $5.00 per person. Please RSVP to Chad Wagener at cwagener@dubuquebank.com by May 31st. Feel free to contact Chad by phone with any questions at 563-542-7237. |
