Notes from Joan

Hello Everyone!

It's summertime-the livin' is easy...and busy! I hope you are able to celebrate America's birthday with family and friends as you enjoy spectacular fireworks over the river, the ice cream social at the Hamm House, or a picnic in beautiful Eagle Point Park. These are just a few of the wonderful choices available right here in our great city of Dubuque!

In recognition of AmeriClub's 20th anniversary we wanted to do something very special for our members. We are delighted to have been able to arrange for actress Pippa White to appear in two performances especially for you at the Grand Opera House. You will find the details on pages 12-13 of this journal. Thank you for creating memories with us for the last 20 years!

And now I need a favor from you. Your early registration for trips and events is greatly appreciated as it helps us to assess the amount of interest, and in some cases, determines whether we should continue to keep it "on the books." Many times we have strict deadlines that we need to adhere to in order to avoid deposit penalties. Please remember that your deposit needs to be received by us within 10 days of your reservation in order for you name to remain on the sign-up list. We are happy to charge your American Trust account in order to make this easier for you. Simply let us know when you register. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

The new AmeriClub Merchant Discount brochures were mailed in early June. If you didn't receive your copy please call and we will be happy to send you one, or you can pick one up at any of our offices. Shop locally and support these great hometown businesses!

Enjoy the summer and I hope to see you soon. Take care!
