Season’s Greetings!
The members of the Point Place Business Association would like to wish all the residents of the Point & Shoreland Community a very Merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous New Year. Thank you for supporting our local businesses through out the year.
The PPBA decorates the Point Place community for the holidays and throughout the year. Unlike small towns or large cities, there is no money for decorations or flowers in our community from the city treasury. Just like the flowers every Spring, the holiday decorations along Summit Street are provided by the Point Place Business Association.
The American flags are owned by Flags for Point Place but the holiday flags are provided by the PPBA. Thank you to Howard Pinkley and Flags Sales and Repair for putting up the flags and holiday banners on Summit Street & Ottawa River Road.
Thank you to the Point Place & Shoreland Garden Club who do the flowers along Summit Street every Spring and the Christmas trees and wreaths during the holidays. A special thank you to Cathy & Gary Rochte and Bob Kneisley and their crew for doing the decorations and lights at the Point Place Gateway Lighthouse.

Clem Cybulski awarded Lifetime Member of PPBA
At its July 21 meeting, the Point Place Business Association voted unanimously to make Clement (Clem) Cybulski a Lifetime Member of the PPBA. This is one of the highest honors given to members that have been dues paying members for at least five years. Mr. Cybulski has also done outstanding service to the association and community.
Clem has been a resident of Point Place since he was a young boy in 1947. He fell in love with the community and has made Point Place home most of his life. He has the vision of Point Place being the #1 boating resort destination in Northwest Ohio. He has been a member of PPBA since 1994 serving two terms as president, treasurer, publicity chairperson and a board member for many years. He has been involved in many activities and committees including Point Place Days, Easter Egg Hunt, Economic Development and Scholarship Foundation. He has done video recordings and produced slide shows of many events in the community, many times funding projects on his own. He led a letter-writing petition drive, protest and media blitz that helped save our Point Place Post Office from being closed. He has been named PPBA Business Member of The Year several times and has been given many other awards and honors. Clem is a kind and genuine man who makes anyone he meets feel like a life long friend.
Vee Stader, a long time PPBA Life Member made the nomination and was supported by all in attendance. Gary Anderson, PPBA President, made the announcement to Clem, congratulated and thanked him for his outstanding service to the business association and our community.
