Historical February 1989 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
A new year often brings new directions, and for the City West Business Association (formerly Skinker-DeBaliviere Business Association), that seems to be holding true for 1989. Along with a new name that we hope reflects our desire to serve a larger area, we have several new Board members, new purpose, and new goals.
On January 5, the Board of Directors met at Portland Towers. Ron Zumalt of Portland Towers, Michael Gordon of Kingsbury Square Ace Hardware, and John Bordeaux of Freewheelin’ are our newly ratified Board members. Pat Cantwell of Cancorp, Inc. was also recently ratified as a new member of the Board.
We extend a warm welcome.
The following slate of officers was also ratified: Chairperson of the Board: Jessie Cox, Cox Curry & Assoc., Ltd. President: Bruce Yampolsky, BBY Associates Vice-President: Charles Fogg, Burger King/Delmar Secretary/Treasurer: Terry Garrett, Central West End Savings and Loan In addition, several committees were formed to facilitate action in areas the Board feels are critical.
It is a Board priority to enlarge our membership. Pat Cantwell will head the Membership Committee, assisted by Bill Schiller of Colonial Rug, Terry Garrett, and Michael Gordon. Their goal is to double our membership (again) in 1989.
We discussed what this organization is to accomplish during the coming year.
We decided that Ron Zumalt will chair a Planning Committee which will recommend what projects will be undertaken.
His committee members are Michael Gordon and John Bordeaux. Money is a critical issue for all volunteer organizations, and ours is no exception. Bruce Yampolsky will chair a Fund Raising Committee to help us stay economically viable.
His committee people are Charles Fogg, Ron Zumalt, Jim Perry of McDonald’s/Delmar, and Terry Garrett. Charles Fogg, assisted by Bruce Yampolsky, is our Liaison Committee in an ongoing effort to promote communication and goodwill between our community and the Police and Fire Departments. Meeting programs and newsletter will be handled by Jessie Cox and Bruce Yampolsky. John Bordeaux is the person to thank for arranging our monthly lunches.
Our January general meeting was a Midwinter Celebration hosted by West End Wines.
We enjoyed libations and cheeses at Portland Towers on January 31.
