BALBOA VILLAGE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
2013-2014 ANNUAL REPORT
The first year of the Balboa Village Merchant's Association was one of many
adjustments and achievements. The Corporation was formed and applied for a
501 (c) 6 Federal Status as a not for profit mutual benefit business corporation.
The Association is waiting for a determination letter from the IRS. During the
period between when funding was received and the end of the fiscal year many
successes have been achieved.
Balboa Village Merchant Association accomplishments during fiscal year 2013-
2014 follow:
*Staged the NOSA Newport to Ensenada race kick off and chalk art festival
attended by nearly 900 persons. This event included a "Taste of Balboa"
where 12 local restaurants established food booths and entertainment.
The event also featured booths and displays from sponsors such as the
Ensenada Chamber of Commerce, BMW, and ExplorOcean. Local and
Mexican dignitaries attended to promote the race. One Balboa Merchant
described the event as the "best event the village has ever put on".
* Staged "Christmas at the Beach", a special event that brought
approximately 300 people to a tree lighting ceremony and a chorale
presentation by the Southern California Children's Choir. Santa Claus
also attended, and arrived with Councilman Mike Henn in dogsleds pulled
by huskies. Additional entertainment was provided and the 12 foot tall
Christmas tree was decorated and lit by Councilman Henn.
* In conjunction with Newport Beach and Company, the Association
developed a new branding program for the Village identity and for use in
preparing new promotional brochures for hotel distribution. New
promotional brochures were printed and distribution through Certified
Folder has begun.
*With much appreciated additional funding from the City, the Association
purchased $25,000 worth of holiday and seasonal decoration for creating
a better sense of place and destination.
* Maintained the www.balboavillage.com website, providing seasonal
information and announcements as well as an electronic merchant
directory.
The Association will finish the Fiscal Year with approximately $5,000 to pass
over into the next fiscal year.

BALBOA VILLAGE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
2014-2015 PROJECTED PROJECTS
Looking forward to the next fiscal year, BVMA Inc. has the following objectives:
*Continue the successful Newport To Ensenada Kickoff Festival in much the
same format as the 2014 event. We anticipate better attendance through
greater advertising and social media presence. Additional improvements
will include a greater number of sponsors and more restaurants in the
Taste of Balboa. A wider array of artists for the chalk festival has also
been suggested.
*Improvements to the "Christmas at the Beach" Tree Lighting ceremony are
planned. A larger tree has been suggested and additional entertainment
may include a "Snow Day" before the tree lighting ceremony. The "Paint
the Town" program will be continued to involve local residents and their
children in this annual community activity. Of course, Santa will still be the
guest of honor and musical programs will be expanded. Additional
involvement will include greater media presence and door-to-door
announcement placement for peninsula residents.
*Additional asset purchases are planned for decorating the village for the
Holiday Season. The light poles on Palm Street will be fitted with outlets
and new lighted wreaths and decor. Additional floral items will be
purchased for Holiday and Seasonal village installation.
*A Senior September event is planned with local retirement homes in mind.
Special 30's/40's/50's weekends will be staged with an emphasis on the
historic nature of the Pavilion Area. An area historic walking tour will be
implemented to support these programs. Local retirement homes will be
invited to attend these outing with their residents and will have special
village wide discounts for participants.
*The website www.balboavillage.com will be improved and additional social
media outreach programs will be developed through the partnership with
Newport Beach & Company. Additional advertising campaigns will be
produced as well as collateral.
*Encourage the continuing "Car Show" Sundays put on in the Market Parking
lot every Sunday.
*Administer the Association using a third party consultant, as well as
miscellaneous costs including the annual meeting.
The merchants of Balboa Village appreciate the efforts of the City Council and
your continued support of their BID.
