Quick update

OHVA members:

    Well, Sat the 19th is almost here!!!  Hope everyone has decided on a special or just a sign/ or balloons to add to Ebony's birthday celebration.
I know Scott at Taz Dogs & Scoops wants to offer $1.00 off banana splits during the day, Riverside Gallery will be offering discounts on Monkey shirts and merchandise along with balloons and banners for birthday wishes if nothing else just put Happy Birthday on your signs or a balloon to show our support.
    My hopes for OHVA was to be supportive of our fellow member's event (Homosassa Riverside Resort/Gail Oakes) and make it a day of celebration all the way to the Resort.  Gail did invite me to sit in on the interview with the Chronicle and we hoped OHVA would be mention as a sponsor and get some press but it didn't work that way.  We all know we are at the mercy of the reporters and what they deem as news.  We can only keep trying.  I hope you all know this is a mission for us all to help with and I am sticking to getting us out there.
    I hope we all bear in mind that we are not in competition with other members, we are a group to collectively support each other in our desire to draw more guests and business to Old Homosassa.  So we all share in the piece of the pie so to speak with the awareness these events bring for all of us and our continued success.
    I talked to Marla Chancy today about events that OHVA can work on for next year and asked for her guidance, ideas and support.  It will take work and cooperation from us all.
Thanks for all the help, support and great ideas.
