Long Neck Business Association
unveils new headquarters
By Jen Ellingsworth
Thirteen years after its incep-
tion, the Long Neck Business As-
sociation (LNBA) cut the ribbon
Jan. 15 on its new headquarters,
an office on Long Neck Road
(Route 23) on the second floor of
Palmer's Shopping Center.
The association works to in-
form the Long Neck community
about the area's businesses and
services, said Roberta
McWilliams, LNBA president.
She said the new office is a natu-
ral progression for the group, a
more than 100-member organiza-
tion that constantly strives to at-
tain a high profile in the Long
Neck community and Sussex
County.
An independent association af-
filiated with the Greater Mills-
boro Chamber of Commerce, LN-
BA was founded in 1985 by Char-
lie Goepel, who said the group
started with 31 members. Upon
his retirement as president in the
late 1980s, Goepel said the mem-
bership had reached 107.
"We had our highs and lows,"
said Goepel, now an honorary
member. "When it started it was
mainly only Long Neck business-
es. Now it has expanded some-
what to include other businesses
from throughout the county."
The group, which is governed
by a six member board, meets the
third Monday of each month at 6
p.m. at a local restaurant, said
McWilliams, who added that the
gatherings are informal, friendly
meetings during which members
can network, trade ideas and so-
cialize. To become involved,
members pay a $50 annual fee
with a one-time initiation fee of
$20. The association also has
honorary memberships for certain
individuals and non-profit organi-
zations, she said.
Other board members include
Joe Shoup, chairman of the board
and past president; Diane Shoup,
vice president; Sandy Fullmer,
secretary; Cindy Wilton, treasur-
er; and Jim Beattie, promotional
secretary.
Members are asked to supply
materials from their respective
businesses to be included in a
welcome packet for local Realtors
to distribute to new residents. At
the grand opening, McWilliams
pointed out items that are current-
ly included in the packages, such
as promotional magnets, gift cer-
tificates and brochures. She also
noted that LNBA members are
encouraged to share the duty of
decorating the office with materi-
als from their businesses, such as
pictures and awards.
"We want this to be a type of
showplace for the members," said
McWilliams.
Speaking about the evolution of
LNBA, Goepel said Long Neck
remains a close-knit community
with small businesses that strive
to promote the uniqueness of the
area and its individuality. The or-
ganization is also involved with
several community events, pro-
moting programs such as Christ-
mas Caroling on Long Neck and
Labor Day Long Neck Style.
In addition, LNBA frequently
donates to charitable organiza-
tions, said McWilliams. Most re-
cently, the group provided toys
for needy families during the hol-
idays. For more information, call
947-2911.
Delmarva and WBOC raise thousands for charity
For more than 10 years, WBOC-TV has organized a Bless Our Chil-
dren campaign, which urges the people of Delmarva to open their
hearts and provide a happy holiday for children who would otherwise
go without. This year, the overwhelming support of people across the
Peninsula raised $19,875. The donations were used to purchase toys
and presents for children who might not have had anything to open dur-
ing holiday celebrations. The funds were distributed to 15 charities in
nine counties on Delmarva.
