June Bugs, a generic term for large, ugly, noisy bugs that appear in the south at the start of summer. Since I miss those bugs I am headed to Florida to visit a few.

Corporate Sponsorships Available

Opportunities = Success

The Ad Club Board of Directors, with assistance from Julie Levine and Max Smith, has developed and approved a new Corporate Sponsorship Package. It was important to the board to insure a solid return on investment for our corporate partners. We would like to make the sponsor packages available to member organizations prior to offering it to outside corporations. Our events, lunches, education and marketing initiatives take a lot of time, volunteerism and money! We have come up with a plan that will keep Ad Club moving forward and help you promote your business as well.

Please review the Corporate Sponsorship Package described below and let John know if your company would be interested in becoming an Ad Club sponsor. There are lots of opportunities available that we hope you'll take advantage of, because when you and your business succeed, so does Team Ad Club.

Thanks & have a great summer!
