Thoughts from the Fun Lady
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for being a member of the Lubbock Fun Club. It's thrilling to hear your kind thoughts and sense your gratitude and we appreciate you so much.

It's also a good time to update you on the coming year for the Lubbock Fun Club. Bottomline ... we doubled our membership last year from 5,500 members to more than 11,000. Now our focus is less on building our numbers and more on serving the members we have. We will continue to discover more and more about Lubbock. We will continue to deliver these "clif notes" of our community to you each week. And we have some neat and expanded ideas that we think you will really like! I would also love to hear from you anytime and want know how I can serve you better!
I wish you PASSION for the things that matter most to you in this coming year!
