Block Party Alert: Liquor Board Special Mtg. 7/26/10 at 6p at City Hall

I’m no longer on the Block Party Committee but I miss hanging out with the hard working folks that put it together for all of us to enjoy-

From Erika Hansen on behalf of Downtown Block Party Committee:

Dear Friends of Block Parties,

The Liquor Licensing Board is calling a Special Meeting to revisit allowing restaurants to serve alcohol outside during the block party scheduled for August 8th (Sunday afternoon and evening) following the Triathlon.

The meeting will be:

Monday, July 26th

6 p.m.

City Hall

Kyrouz Auditorium

Let’s encourage as many people as possible to come out and speak in favor and show that the block parties are an important community-wide event.

And if you hear of any restaurants that feel they are suffering business losses during block party, please have them contact me.  We would love to work with them and give them tips about how to participate or cross-promote their business or perhaps apply for their own block party permit … Likewise, if you know of restaurants that benefit from the spillover from block party, please pass along that theirs is an important voice to be heard on Monday.

If you can’t make it on Monday, please send a letter of support (it can be short & sweet!) to the attention of Licensing Board Chairman Ed Pasquina via the

Clerk of the Board, Pauline Doody

City Clerk’s Office

City Hall

9 Dale Avenue

Any questions or comments, please call or email.

Thanks so much.  We really appreciate your help and support.

Erika

on behalf of Downtown Block Party Committee
