Dear Members and Friends of Downtown Bloomington,
Welcome to Downtown Bloomington, Inc.'s monthly newsletter! We hope you like the new format. In each issue you will be kept up to date with committee activities, upcoming events, and we may even have a contest for you to win prizes. In addition we will introduce new members of DBI, changes in the downtown area and periodically the President of DBI will include articles of interest to the members.
Earlier this year, the DBI Board of Directors met at the French Lick Resort for a day long planning retreat. From that meeting, new committees were organized to follow the National Main Street Program directives. This issue will briefly describe a few and how you can become involved.
We hope you enjoy the newsletter. Please share our newsletter with others in the community by using the FORWARD EMAIL option at the bottom.
Thanks for reading!
Warmest Regards,
Talisha Coppock
