News from Downtown Muncie 6/2/06

The Downtown Business Council has worked very hard to partner with Ball State University and, because of your efforts, the families of BSU Orientation will be visiting downtown Muncie this summer!!! They will be dropped off at Walnut at the Crossing (via MITS bus) around 10:45 a.m. and stay until Noon on the following dates: June 6-9, June 13-16, June 20-23, June 27-30, July 6-7, July 11-14 What we need from you is help with our Downtown Script. We want to have bullet points to talk about all of the wonderful things to do downtown, and we would like for you to give us a one-sentence blurb about your organization, business, restaurant, etc. Of course, we need it yesterday (SMILE), but we will take it by the end of the day on Monday. Also, please bring any brochures (100 would be great) that you would like to share with the BSU families to Walnut at the Crossing. They will provide a display for us to share our information. You may take them directly to Walnut at the Crossing, or you can drop them off at Gordy’s or Artist Within. We will also be talking about it on Wednesday morning at our Downtown Business Council meeting, and asking you or your employees to sign up to be downtown tour guides. Thanks in advance for your help! Please email info to Terry Whitt Bailey at tbailey@cornerstonearts.org. Tell your downtown friends to send me their info too!
