TUBB CLUBB Rocks!
The Uptown Businessperson's
Bureau held its annual ‘meeting’ at The Ticket Bar & Grill on S. Court St.
in Platteville, Friday December 6.
Better known as TUBB CLUBB, this party is open to the public and is
always on the Friday evening before the Christmas Telethon in support of
Wisconsin Badger Camp. The party
generated proceeds from passing a pickle jar and by raffling prizes that are
donated by local business people, many of whom are members. TUBB CLUBB is a
party that generates goodwill and well-being for Wisconsin Badger Camp.
A cornucopia of potluck dishes filled out the buffet
and the old motto "Eat, Drink, and
Be Merry" held sway as
the attendees had fun and gave freely whenever the jar was passed around. When
asked from year to year if the club will make its goal. "We always make
our goal because our goal is to have fun," TUBB CLUB members said.
"We get that done right away."
TUBB CLUBB members presented
an oversized check on-air and once again dished up some kooky antics to
entertain the viewers at Saturday’s Telethon.
The studio audience was very
receptive and chanted, “TUBB CLUBB, TUBB CLUBB, TUBB CLUBB,” when the members
took their place on set and presented Badger Camp a check for $7,053, which
nearly adds up to 10% of the 2013 Christmas Telethon grand total! This year was
a special year for the TUBB CLUBB as checks and cash collected reached
stratospheric levels, as it set a new TUBB CLUBB record in money raised for
Wisconsin Badger Camp.
A big thank you also goes out
to the TUBB CLUBB members who worked incredibly hard to organizing the raffle
portion of this year’s party. The raffle portion of this event has grown to
become TUBB CLUBB’s anchor and could not have been done without its member’s
dedication and the community generosity of giving monetary and raffle
donations. Without the TUBB CLUBB members and the generosity of the Platteville
community this record breaking year would not have been possible.
TUBB CLUBB always meets eight
days after Thanksgiving, next year TUBB CLUBB will be the evening of Friday,
December 5th. Find, follow, friend TUBB CLUBB on Facebook to keep
posted on what is happening! Thank you to all who allow TUBB CLUBB to bundle up
a great big gift of giving to benefit Wisconsin Badger Camp.
