Mama Minutes from last meeting

Postby Justine Cooper » Tue May 15, 2007 10:33 am

Mama met at Beer Engine last Monday to discuss ideas. Tom Bullock stopped by to hear concerns of business owners (Tom is running for council). Ruthie, writer for the arts section of the LO attended to help organize an art walk on Madison.

The ideas thrown out in the meeting included;
*a cash raffle this spring/summer to bring people to business with each business donating $10 towards the raffle. This can include a word scramble where participants pick up a letter from each participating business to be entered to win cash and gift certificates.

*A poster with all Mama names included to display in businesses to show people who is part of Mama.

*Mama banners which Jim O'Brian is working on so each member can purchase at wholesale cost to proudly display as member of Mama and bring attention to the group and businesses. These will be nice and stylish!

*Spring Walk-please see topic for dates

*Art walk-Ruthie helped discuss ways to bring artists works to participating businesses for an art walk.

*Car show in August. The LO sponsor a car show every August and will open up a section for Mama businesses to set up tables with goods to sell and/or business information!

Next Mama meeting to be announced. Spring walk scheduled for last weekend in May!
