Downtown Business Council Planning Session Results
Dear MDBC Members:
I want to thank everyone who participated in either one or both of the special planning sessions. Thank you. Many have stated that they believe we achieved our goal of identifying areas for improvement and growth relative to the MDBC. I believe that our efforts can greatly enhance the efforts of others, such as Heart of the City as real
As promised, below is a synopsis of what transpired at our final MDBC planning session held on October 10th at the Horizon Convention Center. That said, four focal areas were identified in which most all of our efforts can be categorized using a committee structure, and which each could presumably be co-chaired. They are included below:
1. Membership & Governance (identified goals were membership growth, and refined governance and leadership structure)
2. Planning & Advocacy (identified goals were development of Downtown Action Plan, encouragement of Business Improvement District model, encouragement for market analysis to be completed, encouragement for review of applicable codified ordinances, planning and building code enforcement processes)
3. Special Events (identified goals for repository of volunteers for special events)
4. Marketing & Promotions (identified goal of enriched co-op advertising through existing and favorable media outlets)
Most importantly, the results of our planning sessions suggest that we govern through policy. By governing through policy we can keep our intentions, labors and goals succinct. And, in doing so, all of our time and treasure is channeled efficiently through committee structured leadership.
So, what's next? At our next regularly scheduled meeting, which is Wednesday, November 8th at 7:30 AM at the StarPress Conference Room, we will want discuss and confirm if our membership supports the above noted focal areas and goals.
See you soon,
Andrew

MUNCIE CIVIC THEATRE, Delaware County's historic 75-year old arts leader, is announcing the return of FREE SATURDAY MOVIES AT CIVIC, a new series of film presentations. Through a partnership with Downtown Development and Muncie Public Library, Muncie Civic will be presenting classic movies in four themed festivals during the fall.
The series dates are:
BUSTER KEATON FESTIVAL - October 21;
CLASSIC HORROR FESTIVAL - October 28;
JOHN WAYNE FESTIVAL - November 11;
ALFRED HITCHCOCK FESTIVAL - November 18.
Movies will begin at 1:00pm (except Nov. 11 which begins at 3:00pm) and will continue with a new film every two hours until 2am with short subjects and cartoons shown between features (except October 28 which breaks from 5:00-11:00 for a stage production of CATS).
Admission is free. Popcorn, soda and candy will be available for purchase in the lobby. Specific playing times for titles in each series will be available the week preceding each festival on fliers available at the theatre and at Muncie Public Library branches.
THE BUSTER KEATON FESTIVAL on October 21 will include "The General," "Steamboat Bill, Jr.," "College," "Our Hospitality," and "Sherlock Jr." The Midnight Movie will be "Todd Browning's Freaks."
THE CLASSIC HORROR FESTIVAL on October 28 will include "F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu," and "The Mummy." The Midnight Movie will be "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

With assistance from Jack's Camera Shop, Muncie Civic has obtained a brand new fifteen-by-twenty-foot movie screen and through a partnership with Downtown Development is utilizing a state-of-the-art digital projector used in the summer to show outdoor movies on Walnut Street. Combined with the professional sound system already in place for plays and musicals and the historic setting of the auditorium, Muncie Civic hopes to provide a nostalgic experience coupled with technical cinematic excellence.
The movie series, which began in March, 2005, will continue with Winter and Spring Series' in 2007 including tributes to Billy Wilder, Federico Fellini, Art Films, Animated Films, Woody Allen, Humphrey Bogart and Marlon Brando.
