Dear Friends,

The Southwest Advertising Hall of Fame was a great suc- cess! AAF-Dallas did a terrific job hosting the luncheon. All the speakers were on top of their game. If you weren't there, try and put this on next year’s schedule. And don’t forget to continue recommending people for this great honor. To the right Blake Goldson, Randy Robertson and I are pictured with Stan and Barbara Levenson, as they are inducted into the Hall of Fame.

With the 2011-12 ADDY season underway, here’s a re- minder regarding the ADDY Incentive Program. Let your clubs know about the program and its success last year. With that said, I want to note that last year, when winners were contacted, none of them knew about the incentive program and all of them said “I won what?”.

So remind them of the program and let’s push and promote local ADDY competitions even more. Here are the ADDY INCENTIVES:

1.    The club in each AAF division with the greatest percentage increase year-over-year in total number of professional ADDY entries will have its AAF annual dues 100% WAIVED the following year, and special recognition at the Annual Conference.
2.    The 10 clubs, regardless of AAF division, with the greatest percent- age increases year-over-year in total number of professional ADDY entries will each receive TWO complimentary AAF Conference Registrations, and with each registration 4 FREE nights at the Con- ference Hotel & a $400 air travel voucher (for a total of 8 free hotel nights and $800 in travel vouchers), and special recognition at the Annual Conference.
3.    All clubs that participate in the ADDY program will receive 10% off on their annual national dues to AAF.
4.    $1000.00 is presented to each District for their participation in the ADDY Program.

Sincerely,

John W. Thomas AAF-10th District Governor
