ELBA News - August 2010
The East Lincoln Betterment Association is busy planning the next Political Forum slated for September 16, 2010 at Unity Presbyterian Church. Doors will open at 5:30.
The April Primary Forum co- sponsored by ELBA and the Denver Area Business Association brought in the biggest crowd ELBA has had to date, with standing room only. We are hopeful September will bring in another huge attendance. This is a great opportunity for the Citizens of Lincoln County to learn about their future political office holders who will be making key decisions for their community. In addition to this year’s Political Forum ELBA will also have a presentation from the Lincoln County Planning Department on the new HWY 16 Corridor Plan. You won't want to miss this informative meeting on the future plans for the East Lincoln Community.
Committee Members for ELBA’s Christmas Parade are already meeting and plans are moving forward to bring East Lincoln its second annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 4, 2010. Members of the committee began meeting in March. Sponsorships and donations are already coming in for this year’s event. The 24ft Christmas tree donated by Bill Cline, Owner of Cedar Lake Tree Farm, will soon have a place to light up the East Lincoln Community. The Parade Committee won a grant this year from BFI to display banners in downtown Denver showcasing this year’s Parade. Unfortunately, some issues have developed with this initiative and it is being reconsidered at this time. If you would like more information about the parade route or want to know more about how you can become a sponsor for this year's parade you may contact Maeneen Klein at maeneen@yahoo.com.
Members of the ELBA Membership committee have been meeting and are preparing to bring Denver its first attraction locator map displaying local businesses and landmarks for the East Lincoln Community. This project is a way for ELBA to increase our membership while giving local merchants an opportunity to showcase their businesses. Local businesses will be contacted within the next few weeks for an opportunity to become part of this exciting project.
With all of the newcomers moving to this part of the lake members of the ELBA Membership committee with the help of Lou Amico at LA Management Marketing thought this was an important benefit for the East Lincoln Community. Right now the committee has been working on the design and creation of the map, which will include Historic Landmarks, Libraries, Hospitals, YMCA, Parks and other attractions that will be of interest in learning about our East Lincoln Community.
