Fundraiser, Fundraiser, Fundraiser!

We are honored to be hosting a fundraiser in conjunction with the Dubuque Chapter of the Delta Waterfowl Foundation for Retrieving Freedom, Inc. aboard American Lady Cruises on Thursday, June 13th, 2024 at 6:00 p.m., with boarding taking place from 5:30 to 5:45. We'd love you have you come early and enjoy a cocktail on the deck at Catfish Charlie's.

Retrieving Freedom, Inc., is a non profit organization that is dedicated to training dogs to serve the needs of Veterans with disabilities and children with Autism.

The dogs start training at 8 weeks and take 2 years to complete the training. They then go through a very extensive matching process to pair each dog with its owner.

The service dogs are trained to pick up on its owners triggers such as, PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, and calming the sensory needs in children with Autism.

The service dog will perform a wide range of behaviors in helping its owner with panic attacks, turning on/off lights, pressing handicap buttons to open doors, picking up objects, and so much more.

The cost to train one of these service dogs is $50,000. It is our goal is to get one of these dogs placed in Dubuque.

We hope you can join us in our fundraising efforts. Tickets for the cruise can be purchased at Catfish Charlie's. If you can't make the fundraiser and would like to donate to the cause, we would be very grateful....those donations can be made by cash or check at Catfish Charlie's as well.
With appreciation and much gratitude for your help,
Retrieving Freedom, Inc.

Hi friends! Recently there has been some confusion about which riverboat company went out of business, and we want you to know that the American Lady is alive and well! We are working with people every day to make individual and group reservations, and getting ready for a busy '24. Unfortunately, American Queen Voyages did recently stop operations, but we are not associated with that company. So, we hope to make reservations for you soon or see you this summer as you make some warm lasting memories!

Now searching for our next General Manager!
Brian Neis has managed the business for the last 6+ years and has stepped into the role as Captain of the American Lady creating a great opportunity for someone to step into the manager's position. It's challenging yet fun, demanding and rewarding. Some shorter work weeks while planning in the winter months and very busy in warmer months. You must have a flexible schedule and pass a drug screen. 563-557-9700 or americanladycruises.com
