and more—are on the auction block once again. And this year, there’s
an artful twist: the 1x1 silent art auction. Proceeds support local
college scholarships. For any business or organization looking to
scoop up some potential bargains—and spread the word about its products
and services—this is a must-attend event.

Homelessness Project: scholarship opportunities
The problem of homelessness in Minnesota is worse
today than it was in 1980 and far worse that it was in 2000. It
begins as a housing issue, but it’s so much more. Click here to
learn more about the issue and, if you’re a student, how you can
earn a scholarship from AAF Duluth/Superior by helping St. Louis
County address homelessness.
Student scholarship deadline:
Applications and creative samples are due Friday, December 5, 2008.
Help the AAF collect
new books for children

AAF is holding a three-week nationwide book drive

"Our New Prez"
SFX:
Hail to the chief
Word Dude:
I think a warm welcome is overdue.
iGuru:
Why’s that?
Word Dude:
Because for many months now, the Prez has been busy
working hard, reaching out, bringing people together,
and making plans for real change.
iGuru:
Can you say that here?
Word Dude:
To quote a famous governor, ‘You betcha.’ So, Prez,
what would you like to tell the world?
Prez:
My name is Nicole Sandman, 2008-2009 president of AAF
Duluth /Superior. I want to welcome everyone to a new
“season” of Ad Fed, and let you know about some of the
opportunities and changes you can expect from the Club
in the coming year.
Word Dude:
Like what?
Prez:
For starters, we’re rolling out a strategic branding
process and three-year plan that comes on the heels
of our name change.
Word Dude:
Uh huh. What else?
Prez:
We’ve got an excellent roster of monthly speakers and
events planned, public service and scholarship opportunities
that seek to help St. Louis County implement a plan
to end homelessness, and …
Word Dude:
I’m sorry, that’s all the time we have.
Prez:
People might appreciate reading more about the changes,
events, and how they can get involved, on our blog.
Word Dude:
So you approved this new “electronic format?”
Prez:
Yes I did.
iGuru:
Thanks for that, by the way.
Prez:
You’re welcome.
