We have 10 new members for the year so far and have just held our first board meeting filling our Committee Chair positions and setting goals for the year. We’ll be holding our first social in late August. We are sending out our call for entries for the PS campaign this month.

Ad Club Seattle Social!
The Spanish Inquisition... Not social.
The Donner Party... More hungry than social.
The SAF Ad Club... Pure social goodness.
Finally, someone got a group right.
Join us for the Ad Club Seattle Social! Don’t worry; there are no dues, matching sweater vests, or use of words like “doily”. Just good friends, good conversation, and a really good opportunity to exchange creative ideas – trademarked and copyrighted creative ideas, of course.
So come on out and join the club for our inaugural bash. You’ll be glad you did!
