(Ours will not be that elaborate, because we will be using a FREE host with limited templates.)
This
Dot Com will be an 'inclusive' site with ALL of the businesses in
Meadville's Downtown listed. Member listings will have hotlinks to
either their Dot Com or to a social media site of their choosing. Member
listings will also include street addresses and phone numbers.
We need a name!

______________ Meadville
Our next meeting will be the second Thursday in September at 6:00 pm. Please bring your ideas to the meeting.

Zombie Walk
This will be a fund raiser for
the local food bank. Participants will dress up like Zombies and walk
the streets of Meadville. Zombies will bring cans of food with them and
drop them off at the starting point of the walk.
If you go to our blog you will see a post that describes the
Zombie Walk and what is required. The path will need to be discussed.
Maybe starting at the Mall, walking up Center to Walnut, up Walnut to
the Diamond. Down Chestnut to Park. This is where it gets tricky. We
want them to walk in front of the Movie Theater and in front of @ the
bank then back down Chestnut to in front of Tattered Corners then down
Market so it goes in front of the Whole Darn Thing and then back up
Market to walk in front of Confections Of A Cake Lover. In front of the
Market House, back down Chestnut, and back to the Mall.
That was a big run-on sentence! We will need to discuss it with a map at the next meeting.
I
also want to bring back 'Drop & Shop'. On the Saturday before
Thanksgiving, we want people to come to Downtown Meadville to start
their Christmas Shopping before Black Friday. The Drop aspect of 'Drop
& Shop' is that people would drop of coats and canned goods to go to
the Center For Family Services.
I think you are seeing the pattern. We promote our businesses and at the same time, we are supporting the local 'Non-Profits'.
One more thing. Everyone on this list needs to recruit new members. Have any new members send an email to
dmba16335@gmail.com.

On the topic of parking. Two ideas were brought to me this morning.
1)
Businesses like the Pampered Palette and Hagen's Business Supplies have
a need for a 'Vendor Parking Pass'. These businesses would have to meet
certain requirements and there would need to be a form for them to fill
out with the city. The idea is a reasonable one and much needed by
those businesses the make frequent deliveries in the downtown.
2) Participating businesses would offer their customers a
reimbursement for the meter. 25 cents. This would work for certain
businesses that are not high volume. Many businesses already do this and
it would be a great idea to have that in participating store fronts
with the DMBA logo incorporated into the design of the flyer.
Please print this email out and hand it out to any potential new member. It will show them what this organization is all about.
Thanks
