AIMS Power Lunch Series

ANDERSON, IN - “Power Lunch” is a new series of informative monthly, lunch seminars held on a rotating basis throughout downtown restaurants or establishments.  Each month, a speaker will enlighten and educate the downtown group on educational, business, safety or quality of life improvements for the betterment of downtown Anderson and/or businesses.   

In an effort to encourage people to support downtown restaurants and gain valuable expertise on a variety of fields, AIMS will host the Power Lunch on the 2nd Thursday of each month.  There will be a one hour presentation with a question and answer period afterwards.  All presentations are FREE, while lunch, snacks or specials may be ordered from the menus at the participant’s cost.  (RSVP’s are encouraged, due to limited seating at restaurants). Times, dates and places may change, see specific details each month.

Anderson Police Department’s, Stan Young, will be discussing “Setting up a Crime Watch Program in Downtown Anderson” at the first Power Lunch session.  Downtown Anderson has experienced theft, vandalism, graffiti and other demeaning acts recently.  This, in turn, makes our downtown unsafe, unattractive and costs the city unanticipated funds to constantly maintain and repair the problems.  By forming a Downtown crime watch program, we can encourage downtown businesses to get involved, keep Anderson safe, attract more people to downtown and keep it looking great. This particular session will begin at 11:30 a.m. sharp and be held at Bickel’s Café, 21 W. 8th Street, downtown Anderson.

The Power Luncheon series will continue throughout the remainder of 2009. 

Andrew Heart, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, will discuss ways to “keep Anderson beautiful and obtain volunteers to do this” on Thursday, November 12, 2009, at 1 p.m.  (Place still to be determined).

Don Smith, Star Financial, will discuss “keeping children and businesses safe on CYBER SPACE”.  (Time and place to be announced).
