Main Street Le Mars Mission Statement
“ The mission of the Main Street Le Mars program is to maintain and improve the downtown historic character through
preservation and restoration efforts, to strengthen, promote and expand the cultural and economic base of downtown
Le Mars, and to market the downtown as a quality place to live, shop and invest. ”
Le Mars Main Street Vision Statement
The future downtown Le Mars will be known for its restoration of unique buildings, friendly and safe atmosphere, and
progressive attitudes. It will continue to be our goal to maintain regional pull power, community loyalty and a healthy
variety of retail and service businesses. The area’s economic vitality will demonstrate the high quality of life enjoyed
by the citizens of Le Mars. Tourists visiting the community, because of its distinctive status as Ice Cream Capital of the
World ®, will be drawn to the downtown through tours, marketing/promotions and the effort of the businesses to
provide exceptional customer service and products.
A sense of unity will have been established through a strong leadership provided by the Le Mars Area Chamber of
Commerce, as well as partnerships with the City of Le Mars, the Historic Preservation Commission and other local
businesses and organizations. Through these cooperative efforts the Main Street division will continually strive to
achieve a downtown that is economically strong and asthetically beautiful.

Overview:
Yes, there is always plenty to do (especially in
today’s electronic 24/7 world), but we don’t have
to do things in a way that causes stress, burnout,
and exhaustion. Too much stress can lead to
frustration, and too little stress can lead to
boredom. Stress itself is neither good nor bad. It is
our reaction to the stress that creates a positive
or negative result. Come to this interactive
session where we will explore how to worry and
stress less and better manage/prioritize the
demands of your work and your life.
Objectives:
In this program we will discuss:
•
What it means to be balanced.
•
Ways to reduce or cope with stress.
•
What’s within your control and what’s
outside of your control.
•
Three of the most important tools to
striking the right balance.
•
How to renew your commitment to things
that are important to you.
