You get the idea. + + If such a universal gift card were created for use at local businesses, by the Davis Downtown Business Association, I'd rally we challenge them too, to give back. In line with the “Act local, think global” bumper sticker slogan, such a gift card program could provide an additional mechanism (and additional incentive to gift card buyers) to donate a percentage of the card purchases to worthy, viable nonprofits doing good for the planet--not necessarily in Davis--maybe dog eared by the gift card buyer? (see http://www.charitynavigator.org/). Or, even better, as a way to focus energy and attention in giving, Davis could 'adopt' a less fortunate town in another, less fortunate country—-not just a ‘sister’ town but a ‘sponsored’ town… + + Because, like I said, we, our children, and our community are pretty much spoiled with so much thoughtful reciprocity in community building and gift giving, collectively, we can do a lot of good in the world by modeling what a good community does: think of others as well as care for ourselves and our own. + --["Users/wryezome"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-07-26 19:27:53'' [[nbsp]] The DDBA is a total rip... I had my shop in the basement of a building on the corner of 4th and E for 2 years and they kept sending me bills (which I paid) for "downtown beautification". I work in a freakin basement, I don't see the benifits of Downtown Beautification. And when it came time to promote my business, they kept "forgetting" to list me under bike shops even though the City and the Chamber (of which I am not a member yet) listed me. Finally after I kept on them, they listed me in their publication, with the wrong phone #. They just finally got everything right, and now I'm moving my shop, go figure. What a total waste of time. Hopefully their new director will do things better. --["Users/Aaron.Curtin"]

	+ ------ + ''2007-10-25 09:13:23'' [[nbsp]] It would be great to do an annual Art Walk in Davis - like the Sac's Second Saturday. I know it's riding on Sacramento's coattails, but I just attended their Second Saturday Art Walk, and it was fantastic. I can only imagine how grand this would be in Davis, and people would finally notice all of our cool shops and galleries. We went into this hair salon that was displaying local art, and oh man - we're going back for a shi'shi hair cut, seriously. It's good for business. --["Users/TimQuick"]
