BAMA NEWS UPDATE Under the leadership of Kip Ward, from The Historic Anchor Inn, a group of Taft and Cutler City merchants have organized to open a Visitor Information Center in the Taft District. Several merchants have been meeting every week to set the ground work to work with the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau to use an area in the Jennifer Sears Glass Foundry to focus local’s and visitor’s attention of businesses in Taft and Cutler City. The group is working on staffing the center from 11 a.m. until 3 p. m. on the days that the glass foundry is open. All businesses are urged to provide the Visitors Center with information about their business. They are also being encouraged to provide staffing when ever possible. To volunteer contact Kip at the Historic Anchor in 996-3810. Volunteers are being asked to work a minimum of 1 hour and the schedule is very flexible. No number of days worked is being required. All businesses are encouraged to become a member of the Bay Area Merchants Association. As an incentive BAMA is offering a 50% discount on membership until February 15, 2010. All businesses can join BAMA for $32.50 for a 1 year membership. Individuals can join for $12.50 per year. Membership will be from the first of the month following receipt of dues for 1 year. There are a lot of new and exciting plans for the Taft - Cutler City area that will draw visitors to the area. Dave Price, from Oregon Coast Today, is working with the group to provide design and printing services to merchants that are interested in upgrading their advertising needs. Many new ideas are being explored so that membership in BAMA will become more valuable and effective in creating new business for each business. Become part of BAMA by downloading your application now and forwarding it to Bay Area Merchants Association c/o Ed Kuntz, P. O. Box 1119, Lincoln City, OR 97367-8019. Your membership gives you a spot on our web-site and that alone is worth the price of membership. Link to membership form. DON’T FORGET 2010 Sandcastle Contest in the 1st weekend on Saturday August 7th on the beach at the end of S. W. 51st Street. Food donations will again be accepted for the Lincoln City Food Bank.
IT'S FLOWER BASKET TIME AGAIN As in the past, BAMA again will be putting up the flower baskets in the Taft area. This project is sponsored by many area businesses and residents alike. The price of the baskets is $280.00 per pole each pole has two baskets. Single baskets may be purchased also at $140.00 per basket. This includes a plaque with the donors name, delivery of the baskets, hanging the baskets and removing the baskets at the end of the season. This project is paid for by basket sponsors and is in no way paid for by the City of Lincoln City. The City does supply the water for the baskets but that is all. The cost has not gone up this year, so if you would like to sponsor a basket or a pole send your request to EKuntz7171@aol.com and he will contact you to get the necessary information. JULY 4TH CELEBRATION Start planning now to offer special for the Fourth of July visitors. Each year the City of Lincoln City provides fireworks over the Siletz Bay and this attracts thousands of visitors to our area. Let us know what you will be offering so we can add it to our web-site to support your business. Do you have any suggestions to make BAMA more effective for the area or your business? Let us know at EKuntz7171@AOL.com.
