The evening offers Cajun-style fare, wonderful networking opportunities, and a musical mixture of Zydeco tunes, Brass Band classics and today’s hits. You could amass a treasure of Mascola Doubloons through a game of chance or with a knack for advertising trivia … the person with the most Doubloons at the end of the evening went home with a special Grand Prize from The Big E!

And to attend the event … all we asked was for a diaper donation for The Diaper Bank of New Haven. Attached is a letter of thanks from The Diaper Bank. Here’s to next year and more support for CT’s littlest residents!

Ad Club members were not the only ones who benefited from this donation. We also donated tickets to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Child Life Services so that these deserving children and families could have a great night out.

Caitlin Gadecki, Donor Relations/Development, at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Foundation, sent us the following:

Dear Ad Club:
Here is an email I received from one of the families who attended the Ad Club of CT Hockey Nite in Hartford.

We had a WONDERFUL time at the game on Friday. I don’t know if you saw anything in the news, but the team scored the tying goal with 4.9 seconds left in the game and then won in a shootout.

The kids had a wonderful time. Please thank the Ad Club on behalf of the Bowen family.”

These sentiments were echoed from all of the families – I had a couple voicemail messages this morning from the others who attended.

THANK YOU!!!!!

West Hartford, CT, 4/2/12 – Buying an engagement ring can be a daunting task. But instead of letting the cost of a diamond ring put their engagement on hold, local couples now have a new way to find a ring to put on her finger, for the second year in a row.

They’re using location-based, mobile gaming technology.

“We were so pleased with last year’s event, and could not wait to do it again,” said John Green of Lux Bond & Green. “By embracing this new technology, we’re able to give away yet another beautiful diamond ring in a way that’s fun for everyone.”

Lux Bond & Green is the only West Hartford jeweler to partner with the Google-backed mobile gaming company, SCVNGR. By developing a location-based game accessible via mobile phone, Lux Bond & Green is giving couples the ability to solve riddles from their cell phones at locations all over West Hartford Center to earn points for the chance to win a $15,000 A. JAFFE diamond ring.

To sign up, couples are required to submit their love stories at www.LBGreenDiamondDash.com. The grand prize diamond ring is currently on display at Lux Bond & Green along with details on how to play. Lux Bond & Green is located at 46 LaSalle Road in West Hartford Center.

On Saturday, April 28th, the Lux Bond & Green Diamond Dash 2 participants will meet in West Hartford Center to begin the hunt. Teams of two will use their mobile phones to complete challenges at locations throughout the city in hopes of winning a $15,000 A. JAFFE diamond ring.

Lux Bond & Green will have a “SAY YES TO THE BEST” event featuring diamonds, bridal, watches, registry and designers in their West Hartford store from 11:00am to 5:00pm.
