Sunnyside BID Shines Light on Local Businesses
January 25, 2010 | Posted by Sunnyside Post With fur flying through the air as she coaxes her client to stay still, Carol Stipeck goes about her daily routine, armed with a pair of clippers and a warm smile.

The Canine Club is one of the many merchants involved in a new advertising and sales program intended to support local businesses sponsored by the Sunnyside Shines Business Improvement District (BID). Sunnyside Shines provides numerous services focused on the improvement and maintenance of the community, including holiday lighting and sanitation.
“They’re doing great community service,” said Stipeck, while patting the store’s main attraction, an ample cat named Patrick. Stipeck, 70, manages and runs the 43-year-old Canine Club Dog Grooming, where she has worked for over 30 years. The Canine Club is a member of the BID.
Thirty five local merchants are presently involved in the Sunnyside Shines coupon and advertisement incentive introduced in early 2009. James Bray, 23, director of the BID, reissued the program on December 15 and has since sent the weekly coupons out to consumers via The Woodside Herald and email.
