Happy New Year, From Your Ad Club Board

Thank you to all who attended our first, and potentially annual, holiday bowling tournament! 11 teams donated 257 pounds of food and $100 in grocery store gift cards to the Food Bank of WNY. A special thank you to Quinlan & Company for sponsoring the event and Kenmore Lanes for hosting.

Throughout the year, Ad Club offers content-driven programming in order to make your membership valuable. But every once in a while, it’s important for us to strengthen the unity of the club by getting to know our members… And what’s a better way to do that than by giving back and indulging in some healthy competition? We hope you met a few board members, spoke with someone new, or bonded with your coworkers over their impressive performances at the lanes. Congratulations to Bob Henry from clevermethod, who earned the tournament’s individual high score with an impressive 220 points!

For those of us who didn’t score anywhere near 220, we made up for it in enthusiasm. Have you seen the team photos?

So again, happy new year from the Ad Club board. We look forward to continuing to be your professional resource and hope you’ll attend our upcoming events in 2015: UberBowl, The ADDYs and AdLabs. Thank you for your membership – without our members, we are nothing.

Twas 2 weeks before Christmas

Written by board member: Shannon Fisher

Twas 2 weeks before Christmas and all through the bar,

Board members hoped friends would come from near and far

The Food Bank barrel was placed by the front door with care

In hopes that food donations soon would be there

Members started arriving with colleagues and friends

While visions of cold drinks danced in their heads

Some from ad agencies and some from PR

Had just settled in for a long open bar

When what to our wondering eyes should appear

But a full barrel of food long before the end of the night was near

With members and friends always giving their all

We knew in a moment they had answered the call

On soup! On pasta! On tuna fish!

On food upon food to fill many a dish!

The night was great, everyone had a blast

The only complaint we heard was it went by too fast

And we heard them all say before they drove out of sight

Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!
Food Bank of WNY
