Community Services

The Page Chapter of the Northern Arizona Building Association raised $1,450 from its holiday party in large part from donations from 21 business donors.


Tourism

The Page Tourism and Events Board approved $5,000 in advertising revenues for this year's upcoming 2003 Octoberfest.  The two-day festival attracts motorcylce enthusiasts from around the state and West and is considered a good money making event for the city but the Board told MMA that this event needs to eventually become a financially self-sustaining event.

The Page Tourism and Events Board revised their by-laws and changed the name to the Page-Lake Powell Tourism Bureau and announced a shift in emphasis away from supporting tourism events and more towards spending money towards advertisement and promotion.
