Hello & Happy Friday! Here's info on how to create sidewalk art that only shows when it rains. You might recall the City of Hillsboro and Hillsboro Downtown Partnership did a similar project a few years ago that won an Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Award. Cheers, Sheri & Katie

Liz?s question was a reminder to tell all of you that if for some reason you log onto your oprdgrants.org account and you don?t see the scholarship as an application you can apply for, just send me an email or give me a call and we can fix that easily.

And who wouldn?t be tired after interacting with 3,000 kids, I get tired form interacting with one ? Hope all of you survived your Downtown Halloween events!

Hey Katie,

I have 2 board members and 2 of us from the staff would like to attend the Dallas Conference. I signed into the OPRD Grants System but can't seem to find where to apply for this scholarship. I'm very tired after 3000 kids in costume so maybe I just need explicit directions? :)

And just so there is no confusion, this is the scholarship round that includes the National Main Street Conference (see below). So if you need to help defray registration, lodging, and travel costs for you or a group of you to attend, definitely consider applying for this scholarship.

Let me know if you have questions.

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] Scholoarship Opportunities to attend the National
 Main Street Center's Main Street Now Conference, May 18-20, in Dallas Tx
Message-ID: <96998CF4EA3EE743A0E9808C59B3C1EC021543E0F0@WPORGEXCL08.ENTSS.OR.GOV>

The National Main Street Center's Main Street Now Conference will be in Dallas, TX, May 18-20, 2020. The Main Street Now Conference is a one-of-a-kind event, providing attendees with an opportunity to convene and learn about the innovative methods and practices that make the Main Street Approach(tm) one of the most powerful economic development tools in the nation. Whether you hail from an urban business district, small rural downtown, or some place in between, you will find real solutions to common problems and techniques to help position your Main Street Program and your community to thrive. There are a few scholarship opportunities to consider:


1.       Oregon Main Street Registration-Only Scholarship
We have registration-only scholarships available through Oregon Main Street for OMS Network members. Applications are due on December  16 - see attached application form. First priority is for communities participating in the Main Street Track (Performing Main Street, Transforming Downtown, and Exploring Downtown). You must be a member of the National Main Street Center to apply for this scholarship and then register for the conference at the early-bird rate by February 3, 2020. Registration for the conference will open December 4, 2019.


2.       The Elisabeth Walton Potter Oregon Heritage Preservation Scholarship

This scholarship provides financial assistance for Oregon residents to attend a heritage preservation-related conference, workshop, or training in the United States. Eligible travel expenses include registration fees, transportation, lodging, and meals.

If you have questions about the scholarship or how to apply contact Katie Henry at Katie.Henry at oregon.gov or 503-986-0671.


3.       In addition, The Ford Family Foundation has TA grants that allow use of the funds for staff members to attend a training or conference. In this instance, the TA application would fall under Community Economic Development.

Our City government has given us major support.? They passed a facade 
grant fund to give out $50,000 in matching funds which generated over 
$900,000 in downtown improvements.? Hopefully it will be renewed next 
year.? The Planning Department has assisted us in many ways, from 
recommending a Cad operator to draw up plans for our proposed Gateway 
Arch to researching historical buildings in our Main Street boundaries, 
the department also guided us thru city codes. Their staff is always 
eager to help us solve our problems.

The Public Works Department has sent crews out to clean up the downtown 
for our scheduled events and their employees volunteered on a weekend to 
help us spruce up the downtown corridor. ? They shared the City 
engineer's time for guidance on structural recommendations for projects.

The City Manager includes us on meetings for city beautification, 
strategic planning and wayfinding for Ontario and one of the city 
employees is planning to write a city grant requesting funds to assist 
us in the construction of the Gateway sign.

I cannot say enough about our city support, we couldn't have done any of 
our work without the cooperation of our City Government. They have not 
had funds to hand us money but they have been a significant tool to make 
our pathway a success over the past five years.? We are fortunate to 
have great city fathers who have the same goal as Revitalize Ontario! to 
promote and develop a healthy prosperous community.? Our focus is on 
Ontario's Historic downtown while the City has a much larger challenge 
of bringing? prosperity and improvement of quality of life for the whole 
city.? Together we can make our community better.? Charlotte Fugate, 
President of Revitalize Ontario!

We echo what Charlotte has said?
We work very closely with the City from Public Works to Parks to Community Development departments. We have been recipients of TLT dollars for several years and depend on it to drive investment in downtown. We also support each other in funding requests and partner to leverage projects into their most impactful shape.

We?re particularly grateful for our friendships at City Hall that provide us with a great amount of knowledge and expertise as we poke around projects to determine feasibility. The City also provides materials resources that we couldn?t afford to purchase or store but need for events and cleanups.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has granted more than $50 million over the past 50 years. Join us as we celebrate the grants program and the many deserving projects that we've had the honor to fund and help preserve!

Celebrate Grant Recipients: The Neon Museum

Over 50 years, the National Trust has awarded nearly 8,000 grants to 5,000 organizations across the country. Today we want to celebrate a recent recipient: The Neon Museum, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Neon Museum used a $5,000 grant from the National Trust Preservation Fund to conduct a building assessment of the La Concha Lobby. This 1961 building is an icon of the Las Vegas skyline and its significance lies in the hands of its architect, Paul R. Williams, the first African-American man to become a fellow of the American Institute of Architects. Re-located from its original location on the Las Vegas Strip to its new home at the museum's Visitors Center, the La Concha Lobby acts as the Neon Museum Visitors Center and as such, receives and welcomes about 200,000 guests yearly. Learn more about this project at Forum.SavingPlaces.org/funding<https://us.e-activist.com/ea-action/enclick?ea.url.id=329342&clid=10028&ea.campaigner.email=uyWQo1za%2Bo7xwd9snnp8zLHgVM6K8Nv%2F&ea.campaigner.id=v6WN8sCOot2ZkArzVWMSmA==&ea_broadcast_target_id=0>.

Have you received a National Trust grant for planning and now your project is complete? We know that preservation can take a long time, but we love to hear about success stories and see photos! Email us at grants at savingplaces.org<mailto:grants at savingplaces.org>.

We will "hopefully" be receiving $60k, the City has budgeted the funds but
has been slow playing the approval of the MOU for several months now - like
11 months.... but whos counting. We were told at the last commission
meeting that they would approve this round of funding but probably not
again - we'll see.

We don't receive any technical or event support, but we're hoping to change
that this year with some street closure and traffic control support.

I agree with face-to-face one-on-one for providing membership info. We have a folder with a variety of ADA info and the membership application.

 

We?ve had success breaking the ice by inviting prospective member business owners to our Business Owner / Building Owner Mixer held three times a year. The door prizes sometime include a ? year trial membership, free parking and usually wine or a gift basket. We have appetizers from a member (we often trade for their dues). We have a few growlers with beer and cider and bottles of wine for self-pour or provide the first drink (with a drink ticket) if it?s at a restaurant. We?ve been holding them on a Monday evening starting at 5:15 so 9-5 service industry members and our Mayor and city partners can come from work. About half our restaurants are closed Monday?s so that helps with venues. We have also held them in fun locations like available retail spaces, lofts, a large deck, etc.

 

The forth quarterly event is our Downtown Albany Revitalization Awards. We announce our local winners at this event before going to the Oregon Main Street Conference and Revitalization Awards. This annual event is open to all members plus community partners (we keep the other three smaller with just owners ? so 1-2 people per business ? or we?d run out of space and beverages).

 

Thank you,

Attached is a guide I wrote for successful membership campaigns ? it has some suggestions that might be useful. I agree with other comments that there isn?t anything like the one-on-one, but that shouldn?t be just staff -or the majority of asks- by staff only. When staff makes the ask, it can be perceived as them fundraising for their salary. It is better to have the ask from peer to peer and asking people to invest in a cause (vital downtown) that everyone supports. Every board member should have a role in the membership or donor drive ? ensuring adequate funding is a fundamental responsibility of board members.

Some of the most successful campaigns I have seen over the years is when there is a theme with a specified timeframe that board members go out to do the ask in teams. This can be prefaced by a letter that is sent in advance to announce the campaign and theme with a 10% early-bird discount if paid before the launch of the campaign.

I also attached some other info such as sample letters, brochures, and a themed campaign.

Hello,

The Coos Bay Downtown Association is brainstorming ways to increase our membership. This past year we increased it by 30% and we want to continue that trend. That was mostly due to me doing office visits every week to try to get new members. We are wondering what other types of membership campaigns other downtowns have done to increase their membership. Letter writing, events, what is working? Any advice is appreciated.

Port Orford is the smallest of all the Main Street organizations, but we do big things!!!  We receive no monies from the City because they 'run lean'...POMSRA has recently taken on the activities of the Chamber which no longer functions here and we will be receiving the advertising dollars meant for the Chamber to assist with promotions and advertising.  We are working very closely with Julie Miller, et al, to put our little town on the map, so to speak.   We have a fantastic volunteer base and truly couldn?t achieve the success we have had without them.  They make our jobs so much easier (speaking for myself and Karen Auborn).  We will be sending out our annual appeal letters within the next 10 days.  Port Orford Main Street is blessed to have so many patrons who generously donate so that we can continue to make Port Orford a place to visit, not just a town to pass through.

Regards,

Karen Cooley Jennings, President
Port Orford Main Street Revitalization Association

We?ve had success breaking the ice by inviting prospective member business owners to our Business Owner / Building Owner Mixer held three times a year. The door prizes sometime include a ? year trial membership, free parking and usually wine or a gift basket. We have appetizers from a member (we often trade for their dues). We have a few growlers with beer and cider and bottles of wine for self-pour or provide the first drink (with a drink ticket) if it?s at a restaurant. We?ve been holding them on a Monday evening starting at 5:15 so 9-5 service industry members and our Mayor and city partners can come from work. About half our restaurants are closed Monday?s so that helps with venues. We have also held them in fun locations like available retail spaces, lofts, a large deck, etc.

The forth quarterly event is our Downtown Albany Revitalization Awards. We announce our local winners at this event before going to the Oregon Main Street Conference and Revitalization Awards. This annual event is open to all members plus community partners (we keep the other three smaller with just owners ? so 1-2 people per business ? or we?d run out of space and beverages).

Hello,

The Coos Bay Downtown Association is brainstorming ways to increase our membership. This past year we increased it by 30% and we want to continue that trend. That was mostly due to me doing office visits every week to try to get new members. We are wondering what other types of membership campaigns other downtowns have done to increase their membership. Letter writing, events, what is working? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

 Network communities make the top ten
Message-ID: <96998CF4EA3EE743A0E9808C59B3C1EC0224B135E1@WPORGEXCL08.ENTSS.OR.GOV>

This email is being sent over the OMS listserv. All responses will be over the listserv.
Congratulations to Oregon City and The Dalles - they are both in the top 10 communities selected to move to the next step in the Small Business Revolution competition. Each of the towns will have a site visit and then the top 5 will be announced in January. National voting happens at that time so stay tuned and see if one of our towns move to the next level!

Deluxe Corporation created the original series Small Business Revolution to help small businesses, and in turn, small towns, reignite the spark that drives them and keeps people coming back. Each season, they search for one lucky town - and six of its small businesses - to win a $500,000 boost from Deluxe, and document the transformations in an original series. Season 1 featured Wabash, Indiana; Season 2 - Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania; Season 3 - Alton, Illinois; and Season 4 - Searcy, Arkansas.

Previous Oregon Main Street Network communities that competed for the coveted slot were Florence and Silverton.
