AGN NA Newsletter #45 I March 2023 


Dreaming of good times amid your busy season? You don’t have to wait until late April to add a bit of fun to your day. This month, AGN has opportunities to take a break with your peers and get competitive. How would 1978 rank on a fun scale? Below are a few notable events from the year AGN North America was founded.

  • Atlantic City opened the first legal casino in the eastern United States, followed shortly after by President Carter legalizing the home-brewing of beer nationwide. 
  • Garfield first appeared in papers nationwide, and the fat, lazy cat soon conquered the world. 
  • Superbowl XII had America’s team, the Dallas Cowboys, defeating the Denver Broncos in both the first Superbowl played in primetime, and the first played in a dome.
  • Star Wars won six Oscars, including Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects, and Best Art Direction.
  • Space Invaders video arcade game was released that summer.

March Madness? 

No, we’re not talking about dealing with deadlines. We are talking about the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and your chance to win a $500 gift card AND slip a bit of fun into your busy season.

Keep an eye out for an email next week with details on how to participate. Please submit your entry before the First-Round games begin on March 16.

Do you remember which NCAA team won the tournament in the year of AGN's founding, 1978?
That year, the Kentucky Wildcats defeated the Duke Blue Devils 94 – 88 to claim the title.
 


Be well,
