The fabulous weather and what feels like a very early spring along with the spectacle of the Olympics everywhere around us is inspiring. Everyone I talk to is thinking about and working toward being the very best they can be.
And speaking of being the best we can be, thanks to all the Ocean Park Business Association members who attended the Annual General Meeting on February 11, 2010.
We all want to extend sincere thanks and appreciation to the hardworking executive members who have all agreed to continue their best efforts for a second term in the coming 2010 year.
- Sandy Smith of Cotton’N’Crayon - President
- Tara Sketchley of Stampin’Up - Vice-President

As membership chair I'm pleased to have Janet Williams of Magic HomeStaging

One item we’ll be attending to is removing the Fall/Winter street banners and replacing the now worn and faded Spring/Summer ones see the banner's image lower left of this page. Design decisions will be made soon and pricing established. If you think your business would benefit from the reasonably priced, three-year exposure of these striking banners, watch for further updates. Or better yet, attend a meeting and give your input. One of the many benefits of OPBA membership is a discount on the cost of the banners.
Plans are also being made for this year’s Ocean Park Day scheduled for June 19, 2010.link here for the 2009 Photo Gallery
We have now held our first organizational meeting at the Ocean Park Village Pub, Pizza and Steakhouse. Everyone is welcome to attend to learn more about this popular event and make suggestions as to how to work together to promote our businesses and our community.
Please join in welcoming new member, Donna Yakubowski, who has opened a very special “home away from home” for tourists and locals alike. Donna’s B&B, at 14214 20 Avenue, is a delightful spot nestled close to the urban forest and just minutes from the ocean that offers excellent cuisine and a touch of France along with excellent service.
