The Carlsbad Village Association announces free outdoor movie series on the largest outdoor movie screen in the western United States

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

AUGUST 24, 2009

CARLSBAD, CA – The Carlsbad Village Association and Army and Navy Academy have partnered with Hollywood Outdoor Movies to bring the public a free outdoor movie series entitled Carlsbad Village’s Cinema Under The Stars. The four night series will be shown on the largest outdoor movie screen in the western United States. The screen provided by Hollywood Outdoor Movies measures 52 feet wide and over 4 stories tall. All four events will take place at Army and Navy Academy’s Maffuci Field, located at 2605 Carlsbad Boulevard in Carlsbad, CA. Films will be shown at 8pm on consecutive Friday and Saturday nights September 18 and 19 and September 25 and 26. The Dark Knight & Iron Man will kick off the series’ opening weekend followed by Night at the Museum II & Slumdog Millionaire to close the series.

The event is being sponsored by a variety of local businesses and vendors in order to offer this family friendly event at no charge to the public. Audiences are encouraged to arrive early and bring their own chairs and blankets. Food and non-alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the premises. Vendors will also be onsite selling everything from candy and popcorn to Mexican street tacos and pizza. Locals are encouraged to “go green” by riding their bicycles to the field. A bicycle valet service will be available for a small charge.

All three of the event’s partners hope to see Carlsbad Village’s Cinema Under the Stars become an annual event, and preliminary talks for a series in 2010 have already begun. More information about this year’s series can be found at http://www.hollywoodoutdoormovies.com/events.html.

Carlsbad VIP Elects Officers, Charts Direction

The Board of Directors for the Carlsbad Village Improvement Partnership, under the leadership of newly elected officers, has already begun the budgeting process that will outline the financial requirements for a successful first year of operation. Also, the Board is reviewing the role of the four standing committees, as outlined in the Carlsbad VIP bylaws.

Elected for a one-year term are; Frank Hutchins, President; Julie Baker, Chair-Elect, Laura Kurner, Secretary; Al Wanamaker, Treasurer.

Working together with the Board is Kennedy Smith. She will lend her years of experience where she helped guide start-up Main Street organizations throughout the United States. It is expected that Smith will soon file paperwork to secure a not-for-profit tax status for the Carlsbad VIP.

Carlsbad VIP Board Holds Inaugural Meeting!

Its been more than 6 months in the making and, this afternoon, the newly installed board of directors of the Carlsbad Village Improvement Partnership kicked off its first meeting in the Village. Today's agenda was light, which gave directors the opportunity to introduce themselves to board colleagues and to set future meeting dates. The board deferred on the election of officers until their next meeting on November 13.

Future meetings of the Carlsbad VIP board of directors will be held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. Until the board secures funding that will allow the Carlsbad VIP to operate under its own roof, meetings will continue to be held in the City Housing & Redevelopment Agency conference room, located at 2965 Roosevelt Street in the Village.

Congratulations, guys!
