President's Message
First off, congratulations to Past President Tricia Pitz and her husband Travis on the arrival of their daughter, Paige Elizabeth, born May 8! Tricia has not only led AAF Dubuque through many successes, but has successfully timed three pregnancies to net her summertime maternity leave. Niiice!

A congratulatory shout out also goes to Mission Creative for their win at the National level ADDY Award competition, for their Potosi Brewing Company Beer Label Package designs! Their win marks a major accomplishment!

With June being the start of the new budget year and board term, this time of year is always an exciting one for your club's Board of Directors. At present, we are focusing our goals for the months ahead as we work to build a stronger club and bring even more value to your AAF Dubuque membership. And to support this effort, in July we anticipate sending board members to the District Leadership Conference, an annual idea-exchange conference for leaders of all the clubs in the 9th District.

There's no shortage of "to-dos" on our list. But our club is fortunate to have a dedicated volunteer board in position, and strong member (and non-member) participation in our club offerings, which positions us well for the future. I'm thankful to be a part of it all!

See you at next week's mini-golf outing, sure to be a party above par!

Regards,
Jennifer
