The Downtown Card

Trivia: “Who was the first known female golfer?” Answer below.

It’s been another busy week. We’ve welcomed many new members – Welcome! – made progress on budgeting and space planning, welcomed a returning team member back, issued newsletters to members and future members, and signed up new community partners.

Our community partners are businesses throughout the community with whom we partner. I guess that’s why we call them “community partners”. They display our marketing literature in their place of business, and we do the same with their literature in our center. We also note them on our website, but we’re still working on that.

Our community partners also offer some sort of discount or incentive to our members, thus increasing the value of your Parmasters membership!

This past week also saw the launch of the new Downtown Card by the Kitchener Downtown Business Association! Businesses noted on the card offer some sort of incentive to people carrying and presenting the card. We offer 15% off of food and beverage from our Links Golf Cafe – when it opens – and the first month free with any membership.

And the answer: “Mary, Queen of Scots, who raised more than a few eyebrows when she was seen playing golf shortly after her husband’s death in 1567.”
