mann, who has taken over the Pro-
motion Committee chairmanship
from John Kleitz, placed at the
helm within the past week. Slated
for Saturday and Sunday, April
20-21, Achtermann admitted that
he is at a disadvantage at pulling
the event together properly for
1996.
He noted that the Rehoboth Art
League will continue to oversee
the Art in the Park at the Grove
that weekend, adding that he
would like to see the event take on
a more city-wide flavor rather
than being confined in the Con-
vention Center as it was last year.
"I'm hoping to get feedback
from the merchants on ways to get
everyone involved in a special
city-wide even t which will attract
visitors. Perhaps they could serve
dishes with edible flowers at
restaurants and develop flower
themes at retail shops," Achter-
mann suggested, adding that they
hope to use the Grotto lot for ven-
dors. "At the least, I hope to get
ideas and suggestions we can
work on for 1997."
Achtermann said it will also be
a good gauge
on support for
Main Street.
"It's an op-
portunity to
join in and al-
so learn if this
is the type of
event they
want Main
Street to or-
ganize for AClrrlgRMANN
them, and I
hope to get organizations such as
the VIA, Sussex Gardeners and
the scouts involved," he said.
He would also like to hold the
event in conjunction with another
non-profit organization, such as
the senior center, so they could
reap some of the profits as well,
and have businesses allow sfich
civic groups sell products from
their stores.
"I'm desperately seeking people
with ideas, suggestions, and any-
one who would like to volunteer. I
want to bring as much enthusiasm
as possible to the event and hope
the merchants rally around,"
Achtermann added. Anyone wish-
ing to join in should call him at
227-2511, ext. 333.

Flat tax, zoning top resort chamber agenda
The Rehoboth Beach-Dewey
Beach Chamber of Commerce is
planning an action-packed general
membership meeting for noon on
Wednesday, March 6 at the Sea
Horse Restaurant.
Pat Campbell-White will show
a nine-minute video on the pro-
posed flat tax and distribute infor-
mation on the subject- an oppor-
tunity to find out if the tax can
save or cost money. She will also
offer an update on the legislative
impact on small business and the
Washington legislative agenda as
set at the White House Confer-
ence.
Beverly Ward from the Easter
Seal Society will provide informa-
tion on the new partnership be-
tween her organization and the
Chamber, as well as opportunities
for area businesses.
Then Sussex County Council-
man George Cole will discuss the
proposed C-2 zoning ordinance
and how it proposes to increase
business accountability.
The Rehoboth-Dewey Chamber
has also announced that the board
of directors has voted unanimous-
ly to increase the number of direc-
tors from 15 to 17, "due to the de-
mand placed on current board
members as a result of increased
membership," said Executive,Di-
rector Carol Everhart. The in-
crease will be put to the general
membership for a vote at the
March 2 meeting.
Should the amendment to the
by-laws be adopted, for the re-
mainder of 1996 two board mem-
bers will be appointed to serve,
with the additional seats going up
for election in 1997. It is the aim
to insure representation for
Dewey Beach, downtown Re-
hoboth Beach and Route One and
to increase the chamber's execu-
tive board to include the cham-
ber's board representative to the
Sussex County Convention and
Tourism Commission.
