Just a reminder that our February meeting featuring a presentation by Paul Vezolles, owner of the Brick Street Inn and Auberge Restaurant on Main Street, is on this Tuesday at 7:30pm at the Brick Street Inn .
The presentation will cover an expansion plan that will make the Brick Street Inn and Auberge Restaurant a better community asset for local residents and visitors as a place to eat, gather, stay, and celebrate various occasions. They are striving to deliver high standards of design, comfort, and service while enhancing the charming character of the place and adhering to the town’s architectural guidance for the village business district.
Mr. Vezolles and the Brick Street Inn/Auberge Restaurant have generously invited VRA members to arrive around 20 minutes before the meeting for an informal gathering, including appetizers and drinks. This will be a great opportunity to mingle and meet the members of the Brick Street Inn team before the presentation.
We will also be collecting dues at the meeting, if you haven’t paid yet for the year. It is $20 for a family and $15 for an individual.

Lincoln Park Concert Series:
As many of you probably know, the Lincoln Park Concert Series will be moving to Lions Park this year. Many Village residents were disappointed with the move so the VRA is exploring the possibility of starting another, smaller concert series in Lincoln Park. We recently learned that the Zionsville Cultural District intends to host concerts at the park in August, so we are aiming for one concert a month in both June and July. Earlier this week the VRA sent an e-mail to our members, with a link to a survey, to gauge the interest of the community. We will be looking at the survey results as of February 7th, so please fill yours out this week!
