This morning I attended my first meeting of the Minot Downtown Business & Professional Association. I was very pleasantly surprised.
There were many familiar faces, several business leaders that I know and several that I did not know.
I did not know what to expect because when I visited the website it was very disappointing with old information of events already past and who knows how old the membership list is.
Again, I was pleasantly surprised! The five banquet tables were completely full and the discussion was up beat and positive. I was particularly pleased that someone said the website is ready to be upgraded and the hang-up is the web hosting site needs to give them the password, or create a new one, being the last person to work on it changed it and is unavailable to help out.
I hope to keep you posted about what is happening downtown being I am now a part of it. From what I could determine from the old membership roster on the website there is between 150 to 200 members. From what I observed at this meeting is that there is a high level of excitement to find ways to bring people downtown. If you care about downtown Minot and wish to get involved I hope you will attend next months meeting at The Parker March 4th at 8:00 AM.
