Title: The River Lodge Renaissance

Protagonist: Olivia Everhart, a young and ambitious event planner with dreams of revitalizing her small town’s struggling River Lodge Conference Center.

Olivia Everhart had always believed in the power of community and the importance of preserving local landmarks. Growing up in Fortuna, she had fond memories of attending events at the River Lodge Conference Center with her family. However, as she got older, Olivia noticed that the once vibrant venue was starting to lose its luster.

After graduating from college with a degree in event management, Olivia returned to her hometown with a mission - to breathe new life into the River Lodge and make it the premier event space in the region. When she heard about the Revenue Generation Ad Hoc Committee and their discussion on the future of the River Lodge, Olivia knew she had to get involved.

With her background in event planning and her passion for community development, Olivia quickly became an integral part of the committee. She poured over financial reports, analyzed revenue trends, and brainstormed ideas with her fellow committee members on how to turn the River Lodge around.

As she delved deeper into the data, Olivia realized that the key to success lay in increasing revenue while minimizing expenses. The committee’s three proposed options - using General Fund dollars, investing in upgrades, or leasing to a third party - all had their merits, but Olivia was determined to find a solution that would benefit both the River Lodge and the community.

After weeks of research and meetings, the committee presented their findings to the City Council. Olivia stood before the council members, her voice steady and her eyes filled with determination, as she argued for a bold new vision for the River Lodge. She proposed a hybrid approach - investing in upgrades to make the venue more competitive while also exploring partnerships with local businesses to increase marketing and event bookings.

To Olivia’s delight, the City Council approved her proposal, giving her the green light to embark on her mission to revitalize the River Lodge. With a newfound sense of purpose and a team of dedicated volunteers by her side, Olivia set to work. She negotiated deals with local vendors to upgrade the sound system, remodel the interior, and pave the parking lot. She launched a marketing campaign to promote the reimagined River Lodge as the go-to destination for weddings, conferences, and community events.

As the months passed, Olivia’s hard work paid off. The River Lodge began to attract a steady stream of bookings, and revenue started to climb. The once-dreary venue was now a bustling hub of activity, filled with laughter, music, and celebration. The community rallied behind Olivia, proud of what she had accomplished and grateful for the renewed sense of pride in their town.

Years later, as Olivia looked back on her journey, she couldn’t help but smile. The River Lodge Conference Center was no longer just a building - it was a symbol of resilience, community spirit, and the power of one person to make a difference. And Olivia Everhart was just getting started on her next adventure, knowing that with passion and determination, anything was possible.

(Verse 1)
In 1998, the River Lodge was built,
But now its exterior needs a little tilt,
The redwood siding has faded away,
It’s time to bring it back to a brighter day,

(Chorus)
Let’s stain the River Lodge, make it new,
Preserve its beauty for the world to view,
Hamanaka Painting Co. will do the job right,
For $158,000, let’s make it shine bright!

(Verse 2)
The elements have taken their toll,
Moisture, dry rot, and mold take their toll,
But with a fresh coat of stain and seal,
The River Lodge’s beauty will surely reveal,

(Chorus)
Let’s stain the River Lodge, make it new,
Preserve its beauty for the world to view,
Hamanaka Painting Co. will do the job right,
For $158,000, let’s make it shine bright!

(Bridge)
From the CIP in 2021, it was planned,
Now it’s time to take action and stand,
The bid was awarded, the project is near,
Let’s make the River Lodge look crystal clear,

(Chorus)
Let’s stain the River Lodge, make it new,
Preserve its beauty for the world to view,
Hamanaka Painting Co. will do the job right,
For $158,000, let’s make it shine bright!
