We are pleased to welcome Charlie Jackson of the Daily News as our interim Secretary. Charlie has played an active part of VEBA for many years and we very pleased to have him on the executive.
Ted, Steve and Deryl had an excellent meeting with the Mayor and Council to discuss Valleyview & East. Discussed the Frontage Road Enhancement, The Bike Park, River Trail, traffic concerns around the mini storage area, improvements to the Park, the record number new businesses opening in our area, Wildlife Park, Truck Stop and many more issues. We had a good discussion and created a great rapport in working with the City for the future of Valleyview & East businesses.
Look for a color brochure being mailed out to all the Valleyview & East businesses and residences giving details of all the exciting things going on in our area.
We also joined in a joint meeting with the Chamber, SouthWest BIA, Northshore BIA and Downtown BIA and the new marketing committee for the City. They discussed the Ipso-Reid survey results and the City's plan to improve Kamloops service for development and marketing. We believe the City has some great plans in place to strongly improve promoting Kamloops and being "business friendly".
We are in the process of reviewing a special event in the Fall, if you have any ideas, please contact Deryl.
The next general meeting of the VEBA will be Monday, Sept 13. We have adjourned the monthly meeting for the summer. If you have any ideas or suggestions, do not hesitate to call one of us or stop by my office (Deryl of Edward Jones Investments at 158 Oriole Rd) to discuss over a coffee.

Some boys from Valleyview Secondary are fundraising for a basketball tournament in Hawaii.
They are committed to raising their money by working rather than selling chocolates or such things. They would like to do odd jobs such as painting, pulling weeds, almost anything that is reasonable for their age group (16 and 17 years old).
They are strong, healthy and polite young men! My son, Michael, is one of them. They have worked for me at our property at A & W removing turf so that cement slabs could be installed for picnic tables. Four guys with very strong backs completed the job in under 3 hours! I was impressed.
For further information, please contact Lynn Vicars at 374-8348.
