Hello all,

I agree that we need to send the letter. Do you want physical signatures =
on it, Rene? If so, I'd be glad to stop by and sign it.

  Joyce and Board Members,
  =20
  DDA will meet this week.  There are several actions they have taken =
that the Chamber
  would be remiss in not recognizing with a very public "thank you" =
letter.
  =20
  1.  Congratulations for obtaining the $500,000 grant for the Harbor =
project, which includes
       the new visitor's center (potentially the chamber's new home).  =
We should acknowledge
       all the effort they and many others put in to bringing this to =
fruition. =20
  =20
  2.  A huge thank you for their support of and payment to Bluewater.org =
for the advertising promotion.
       The DDA's committment is to the economic growth in downtown Port =
Austin, yet
       they recognized the importance of promoting the whole Port Austin =
area as a means of
       obtaining that economic growth.  In doing so, they committed DDA =
funds to pay for this
       advertising promotion which will benefit all businesses, Chamber =
or not, in our whole area.
       Their willingness to reach beyond the traditional DDA district to =
extend this service to
       all of us should be noted.
  =20
  Joyce has always been great about sending the Village thank yous for =
their assistance and
  I appreciate her letter writing skills.  I would like to have her =
compose a letter to the DDA on
  our behalf.  It would also have more meaning with as many board =
signatures as possible.
  The completed letter would go to Thomas at the Village hall to be a =
part of the DDA meeting.
  =20
  Your response of support to send this letter is appreciated.
  =20
  Rene
