July Meeting Was Full of Excitement

The July Meeting of the AAF-Fort Worth was exciting - for a lot of reasons.

First, our speaker was David Dietze of Google. His presentation attracted a sell-out crowd of 135 participants.

Second, past District 10 Governor and past Central Region Chair and former AAF-Amarillo president Marc Eisenberg provided an amusing and yet responsibility-driven swearing-in ceremony for new and continuing board members and officers.

And finally, Mike Wood, professional in residence at TCU, thanked the Ad Club for its support of the TCU student team over the years. He noted that, for several years, the team has ranked highly at the district level in the National Student Advertising Competition. Last year, TCU's team won first place at district and went on to take 8th place at the National competition. This year, TCU's team came in second place at district, and was selected as the wildcard team to compete at the national competition. This year, TCU's team placed fourth at national, and he showed off the trophy that accompanied that win.

All in all, it was a very good meeting, packed with great advertising people and lots of good information.
