5. Debbie Nelson, Cannon Beach Florist, Basketcase Inc shared info
about herself and her business. She was born and raised in Cannon Beach
[insert: something very few in this town can claim] She opened Basketcase in
1997 in the 400 sq feet that is now Kamali and Co. Ten years later she moved
into a much larger space in Ecola Square. Her business started as a "bucket"
shop - where customers came in and bought flowers. Now, almost all her
flower business is almost all delivered. Weddings have become key. Last year
she did 80 weddings - not a big year compared to some others. Besides
flowers, she offers a wide variety of logo merchandise - Cannon Beach,
Haystack Rock, etc, including some of her own artwork creations. This
weekend, besides other scheduled events in her shop, she will be featuring
the photography of her college-senior daughter, Julie. .

has an open house of the new Marine and Industrial Facility at North Tongue
Point set for Satuday Dec 5th from 1-4pm at North Tongue Point Hangar 3.
7. Valerie and Julie shared info and passed around a book showing the
fruits of the Cannon Beach Business Associates efforts/expenditures since
Fall of last year. They are soliciting money to continue. George asked where
things were with the group folding into the Chamber as had been suggested by
them on numerous occasions. George expressed concern that with money tight
and budgets limited, that some businesses may have to choose between
supporting the Chamber and it's efforts vs the Cannon Beach Business
Associates. Valerie and Julie said that their efforts are in harmony with
the Chamber, the difference being that they promote all businesses and
events while the Chamber promotes only its members and its events. Valerie
expressed her lack of confidence in turning their function over to the
Chamber at this time. They need approximately $15,000 to carry them till
they anticipate the proposed 1% increase in motel tax will be approved and
take effect. The City is proposing that they serve as the group that
administer the state mandated (70% of any motel tax increases) expenditures
on tourism. [It would be the City who would decide exactly who gets the
money. The CBBA would administer it. Some of that 70% is proposed to be
allocated to CBBA]
8. Wendy encouraged anyone who has any type of event scheduled (or
anything else of interest) for 2010 contact OCVA. They are putting together
their calendar and are soliciting input. (www.ocva.org)
