Concert In The Park August 20th 2011 – Sponsorship

NEWSFLASH: Concert in the Park at Steiner Ranch is coming up on Saturday, August 20th! The Four Points Chamber of Commerce is the opening act!

We’ll be there “With Or Without You” – a great 80′s song by U2 that we’ll likely hear at the Concert in the Park…

and also an invitation to you to sponsor the Four Points Chamber in sharing your business at the FPC Booth with thousands of people at this event. We’ll be there in full force and we want your business image to be “with” us there as well.

With over 3,000 visitors per year, the Steiner Ranch Concert in the Park is a premiere annual event for Austin.

If you have a business or do business in the Four Points/ Steiner Ranch area, this is a rare (annual) opportunity to mingle with a large segment of your prospect or networking base. On Saturday, August 20th, from 6 pm until 10pm, the 4th annual, Steiner Ranch Concert in the Park will fill the grounds of Towne Square, beating the heat with some great live music by RED ALERT, local sponsor and vendor booths, food provided by local Four Points Restaurants, jumpy houses, face painting, a rock climbing wall, water slide, and games. It’s become a fantastic thing to do with Steiner friends and neighbors.

The Four Points Chamber of Commerce has secured a large booth…

for advocating for our organization and our members at this event. It will be no ordinary booth! Concert in the Park is a fun, community event and our booth will be consistent with that theme. Our goals? First, to attract visitors to our booth. We’re hosting a drawing for a bran-new IPAD, having a “Wheel of Fortune”-like game wheel for kids and their parents to spin and win valuable prizes AND having FREE “take-away” bags full of our member’s ads, brochures, business cards and snacks. Secondly, every person that visits us is going to have some fun…talking with our volunteers (FPC Members), playing games and gaining an awareness of who we are and who our members are. Last goal? Collect information…for YOU. Everyone who registers for the IPAD drawing will be another contact we’ll share with our Member Platinum and Gold sponsors of this booth after the event.

If this is your first experience with Concert in the Park, know that it’s an exceptional event.

At our last luncheon, a volunteer sign-up sheet was passed around asking for volunteers to spend an hour manning the booth. We filled each time slot and then some, which shows the value of this event to our Member businesses (for fun and business J). Reserve your sponsorship space now as we do have limited Banner space for our Platinum, Gold and Silver Sponsorship levels. Compare the three sponsorship levels on the chart below and let us know today which level you’d like to participate in. We are less than a month away from this event, so we are closing booth sponsorship sign-ups on August 8th to have time to print the Banner and game materials. Don’t miss out…find your sponsorship level below and contact us today!

Four Points President, Ray Freer digs in to help with Randall’s Ground Breaking Ceremony

From The Hill Country News:

The groundbreaking for Quinlan Crossing and Randalls — set to open Spring of 2012 — has been years in the making.

“This represents many years of hard work,” said Jim Reuter, Property Development Centers Vice President of Development. PDC is developing the project and is a subsidiary of Safeway Inc, which is Randalls’ parent.

About 70 community members, Randalls and PDC executives and staff, and Four Points Chamber of Commerce members were at the groundbreaking event held on the spot Randalls will sit.

The new 60,000-square-foot Randalls will be part of the 137,681-square-foot, mixed-use Quinlan Crossing shopping center at 5145 RM 620 N.

“This is continuing the vision of the original plans of Steiner Ranch, a master planned community where we live, work, shop and play,” said Robert Long, Director of Development Taylor Morrison of Texas Inc., Steiner’s developer.

This is the first Texas project for PDC.

“They say everything is bigger and better in Texas, so this is a good place to showcase our newest lifestyle store,” Reuter said.

The supermarket will feature a Starbucks, full-service meat and seafood departments, expanded produce department with lots of locally grown produce, and natural and organic offerings.

“Randalls has been in Austin since 1972, for about 40 years. It is a great place for us to do business,” said Randalls President Paul McTavish.

Randalls is also the newest member of the Four Points Chamber.

Quinlan Crossing is in the process of signing leases with restaurants, a bank and other amenities, Reuter said.

PDC bought the 60-acre site on Jan. 26 from Taylor Woodrow Communities. The Quinlan Crossings site plan was approved by the city of Austin on Jan. 18, a process that started last April.

The shopping center will sit on approximately 15 acres and the remaining 45 acres will remain natural and undisturbed.

Randalls prides itself on being a good corporate citizen, McTavish said.

To date the chain has given over $36 million to over 8,000 non-profits in Texas including the Capital Area Food Bank, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Austin, Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas, Breast Cancer Resource Center and more.

Randalls currently operates 13 stores in Austin, 35 stores in greater Houston, and 63 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex under the Tom Thumb banner.
