Thanks to everyone who made our August kickoff event such a huge success! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, and so many new ones as well!

This year is all about getting involved and making the most of your AAF membership. So, weve adopted the theme: Join. Belong. ______.

Just fill in the blank for what the club can do for you. Are you looking for networking opportunities? Creative inspiration? The latest communication trends? Or, a discount on a rental car? Then, your AAF membership can help.

First, you have to join. And if you do so by September 30, you can enjoy the additional benefit of a discounted membership rate.

After that, its up to you. Get involved. Meet people. Join a committee. And make the most of your membership.

On that note, we have opportunities for you to get involved with our diversity program, oyster roast fundraising, Addy awards, public service campaign and Government Relations committee. Contact the committee chair to learn how you can get involved.

And RSVP now for a great September program by Bounce Agency! Their Time to Thaw ambient campaign garnered over 1.2 million website hits, an estimated half a million dollars in additional PR, and 4 gold National ADDYs.

Then join us Wednesday, September 16 at 11:45 1:00 at our new meeting location, 701 Whaley to meet the guys who made it all happen.

See you in September! Join. Belong. Get involved.

Best,
Abey Coker
