50th Anniversary Friday - Week 2


Posted by Government Affairs on Thursday, January 14, 2010

50th AnniversaryThis week, we're turning back the clock to 1985.  

Here is the Membership Campaign cover photo for the February 1985 edition of ABODE magazine featuring then-HAA Board Member Harry Glauser.  He was set to lead the "Safari" Membership Campaign with his friend the tiger.  If Harry looks a little concerned in the photo, it may be because of the story that HAA Executive VP Jeff Hall related to us.../uploadedImages/Site_Content/Uploaded_Docs/HAA_Blogs/membership campaign with tiger.JPG

"Someone had the bright idea to send the tiger up in the elevator with Harry for the photo," Hall said.  The tiger managed to put a hole in his suit and fear into the photoshoot attendees.

Do you have a favorite memory from the 1985 Membership Campaign or the Victory Party Celebration that followed in New Orleans that March?  Please tell us about them in the comments section below.
