Please allow me to clarify something mentioned below - the proposed lodging tax increase. A 1% increase would raise approximately $300,000, 70% of which would equal $210,000. Please feel free to call me with any questions or comments.

> 1. Margo and Paul Dueber talked and showed big-screen slides (ala Tim Krupa) about their business. MAGGIE & HENRY is a blend of the two original stores specializing in casual comfort for both women and men. Lots of natural fiber product with a distinct leaning toward “green,” striving to find the best of the best that will give you great quality, forward yet casual fashion and, most important, garments that you can truly relax in. The store is downtown in Sandpiper Square (503-436-1718). The website and online catalog is at www.maggieandhenry.com. Locals receive a 10% discount. Everyone at the meeting was given a $10 gift certificate.
> 2. Last weeks meeting ended before everyone got to weigh in on how December and 2009 overall ended for their business. Once again, the general gist was that December was better than last year when Portland was snowed in for two weeks, but not as good as hoped for or as previous years. George reported that he observed fewer people than ever (excluding those two weeks last December) for December and tight money. 2009 matched 2008, which was a very disappointing year. John said he has had several people ask him at his restaurant why there are so few people in town – inquiring if CB does any promotion.
> 3. Several people in the meeting were present at the NWACT/ODOT meeting in Scappoose last week. George reported that his take was that ODOT would like to do the road surface lowering at the same time as replacing the old timber lining. If that is something which will cause extended closure and therefore something which we want to prevent, then we need to be diligent, as Jeff stressed. Patrick pointed out that part of the desire to accommodate larger trucks is to have Hwy 26 serve as an alternative to Hwy 30 in case of landslides or other closures – a “redundant” route to 30.
> 4. Jeff: The first Business After Hours will be tomorrow (Thursday) at 430pm at the Gazette office downtown above Purple Moon next to Morris’s Fireside. Theresa says wine and snacks will be served. These business mixers are intended to offer people the opportunity to learn about businesses in a social environment. Next month will be at the Lodges at Cannon Beach, next to Inn at Cannon Beach in Tolovana. All are welcome.
> 5. Pia: Saturday, January 16, 2010 2nd Annual “All You Need Is Love” Student Benefit Concert In Memory Of Elliott Hearing. Coaster Theatre 108 N Hemlock 7:00pm $10 at the door Proceeds benefit Cannon Beach Search and Rescue and Coaster Theatre. A Pacifica Project by Max Milander and Marshall Whitlock with inspiration from Sydney Morrison.. Call 436-1242 for info.
> 6. Cannon Beach resident/County Commissioner Bob Mushen has a special session scheduled for Wednesday January 20 at 9am at his home at 148 E Van Buren St. Doug Barker will give a lecture on tsunami awareness. Those attending will have an opportunity to air concerns and ideas with Commissioner Mushen. Email jpmushen at aol.com or call 206-728-2020 for more info.
> 7. Patrick: Meetings are continuing as a 1% increase in the City’s Motel Tax is discussed. Nothing is set yet, but a 5 person commission comprised of 3 people from lodging, 1 from the Arts and one from the public at large, is being considered as the group who will administer the anticipated $300,000. This amount is 70% of the $430,000 total. George said he would like to see the city show its support for the business community, in light of the current prolonged recession and the years that the city has not spent anything on marketing, by devoting more than just the required 70% to marketing Cannon Beach.
> 8. BobNec: A source of financial support that has not been tapped as much it could be is second home owners. Bill commented that second home owners have stepped up to support the Food Pantry, which by the way is open every Wednesday.
> 9. Linda: Cannon Beach is not represented on the Clatsop County Commission on Children and Families. It should be. This group is an advisory committee to the County Commissioners. To apply to be on that board/commission, contact Linda at 503-440-3909
> 10. Stan: More marketing of Cannon Beach needs to take place. Stephanie suggests “outreach” to new areas and publications by individual businesses and as a whole.
> 11. Bill needs signatures right away to be included in the ad in support of the Cannon Beach Trail. Donations to pay for the ad would also be appreciated. - Contactbillbennett at seasurf.net.
> 12. Jeff, Tracy: Volunteers are needed to complete the events committees for 2010. Tracy is looking for someone to chair the Stormy Weather Arts Festival. She wants to see the Chamber hire an events coordinator as soon as funds allow. She says events such as SWAF are too much for volunteers alone.
> 13. Jenee recommended that before hiring someone to do construction or repairs, find out if they are members of NCBIA (North Coast Building Industry Association). Her company Pearce-Sunnel is.

> 3. Kevin Magee and Meagan Hughes: Mo’s opened in Newport in 1946. There are now 6 restaurants on the Oregon Coast. Orders are still hand written and clipped up for kitchen staff to fulfill – the old fashioned way. Mo’s Cannon Beach has 52 tables. The seating and atmosphere is designed to accommodate families. Senator Robert Kennedy, during his presidential campaign, ate chowder at Mo’s and took some with him on the road. Mo’s is famous for their clam chowder. 500,000 pounds are produced a year, some packaged and shipped to grocery stores. Mo’s is community oriented, no charitable request is refused. A drawing was held and three winners each received an item of clothing from Mo’s gift shop, a gift certificate and a turkey. John Sowa, Gary Hayes and Kathy Klezcek were the lucky winners. George pointed out that among other distinctions; Mo’s has now hosted the WMM more than any other venue.
> 4. Gary: Savor Cannon Beach plans are moving ahead. To be included in the advertising/PR, one must have their info to Gary by Jan 15th.
> 5. We went around the room reporting on the state of the economy as experienced by our businesses. Most people reported a December as good if not slightly better than last December. All were quick to add that last December was a disaster with the snow and ice that crippled Portland and the Coast Range for two weeks. Some reported their worst December ever. Others reported that it was not bad at all for them. Those who compared 2009 to 2008 made similar comments.
> 6. Jeanie McLaughlin passed around a signup sheet for a Spanish class to last half an hour each Wednesday following the WMM. The cost is $10 per month. She needs approx 10 people. The class would go for 2 months. For details: 436-2412 or jeaniehallmclaughlin at hotmail.com.
> 7. Jeff Jewel: NWACT and ODOT will be holding a meeting tomorrow at 1:00pm. Among the agenda items are a discussion between local jurisdictions, ODOT, and the Oregon Trucking Associations regarding the proposed scope of work on the Dennis Edwards Tunnel on Hwy 26 between Cannon Beach and Portland. The meeting will be held at the Scappoose Fire Hall, 52751 Columbia River Hwy (north end of town just off Hwy 30). Anyone interested in attending please let Jeff know (jeff at cannonbeach.org). All those going will meet up at the Chamber at 10:15am and carpool from there.
> 8. Margo, Tracy, Tim, George: The Chamber board met yesterday for its second and last 4-hour Retreat session. Committees and Events for 2010 have been identified. Volunteers are now needed. With the goal of spreading the work over more people and not burning volunteers out, all committees and sub-committees will be set up now for all projects and events. Margo encouraged those called upon to give of their time and expertise promising it would be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Standing Committees are Marketing (Board Liaison Tim Krupa), Events (Board Liaison Tracy Abel), Membership (Board Liaison Carol Hungerford), Finance (Board Liaison Tim Krupa Treasurer), Facilities (Board Liaison Mark Piscitelli). Sub-committee under Marketing is Website/Magazine (Jim McDonald), Sub-committees under Events are Sandcastle (Kelli Taylor), Stormy Weather Arts Festival (Tracy Abel) and Haystack Holidays (Margo Dueber). A current Ad-Hoc committee is By-Laws (Board Liaison Rich Mays). Committees will be kept to manageably numbers and sub-committees formed when necessary. The liaison forms the committee and finds potential committee members. The committee liaison, George Vetter (President) and Jeff Jewel (E.D.) pick the members. Committees run by Robert’s Rules of Order. Each Committee chooses its Chair. Each Chair appoints a secretary. Notes from committee meetings are submitted to the committee members, the board and the E.D. no later than 4 calendar days after the meeting.

> 1. Bill: There will be a hearing regarding the proposed Cannon Beach Trail. The deadline to submit your position to the city is January 5th in order to be able to have the right to speak at the public hearing. Bill passed around a petition in support of the trail.
> 2. Tim and Dawn Krupa have been married 40 years. Dawn’s father worked for Pan American. Tim and Dawn traveled extensively with greatly reduced airline tickets. They visited many spas in many countries in their travels. Twelve years ago, they came upon Cannon Beach and fell in love. They bought a condo at Breaker’s Point and after seeing the lack of a spa in town, started Cannon Beach Spa (www.cannonbeachspa.com) upstairs in the Cannon Beach Mall. The business grew and 5 years later they bought the old firehouse and converted it into their new spa along with space to accommodate Northwest by Northwest Gallery, House of the Potter and now James – a personal trainer. Cannon Beach Spa is a complete Spa experience – offering massage, facials, body wraps & hydrotherapies. Body massages start at $65. Cannon Beach Spa administered 10,000 massages in 2007. Japanese foot massages are $25. Besides massage, the spa has an acupuncturist. Tim is a licensed chiropractor of 30 years. Half of the spa’s customers are first timers. Products sold at the spa include a line of seaweed products from Victoria Island in Canada. Tim is dedicated to making natural health care affordable and helping people “find and walk the path of natural health.” A free Japanese Foot Spa was offered to all those present. (see list above)

Besides this publication, Rob publishes Oregon Coast Magazine (since the mid 80’s) and www.ohwy.com . Stephanie encouraged Rob to include “art” in his future descriptions of Cannon Beach.
> 6. Jeanie McLaughlin offered to start a Spanish class to last half an hour each Wednesday following the WMM. The cost is $10 per month. She needs approx 10 people. The class would go for 2 months. For details: 436-2412 or jeaniehallmclaughlin at hotmail.com.

The meeting will be held at the Scappoose Fire Hall, 52751 Columbia River Hwy (north end of town just off Hwy 30).

> 11. Jenee: Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District is proud to bring yet another fun, safe and exciting event to the boys and girls of the North Coast! This New Year's Eve, SEPRD will host the first ever “Skateboard Lock-In”. What is a “Lock-In”? Precisely what it states! Once you sign in your child at 8pm New Year's Eve, they are not permitted to leave the Camp Rilea Armory without your signing them out New Year's morning!
> 12. Kim: The first recipient of help from the fund initiated by this group has a new culvert in their drive and is now getting pre-paid high-speed internet installed in their home. Jenee had asked for volunteers to form a committee to make decisions on use of funds donated to the Cannon Beach Charity Fund. Kim suggested that a need be found prior to soliciting funds. George agreed and suggested that all donations be designated by the giver as to where they should go. A small group met after the meeting to discuss further.
> 13. Kim: Spring Unveiling will be Friday April 30, Saturday May 1 and Sunday May 2 this year to avoid Mother’s Day. Sponsors will be recognized in a brochure that will be out in a week or so.

> 15. George: The 9-member Chamber Board will gather next Tuesday with facilitator Carolyn McVicker for Part Deux of Retreat 2009/2010. There was too much to cover everything in the December 15 session. The Board’s goal is to come up with a 2010 plan by setting priorities based on the Chamber’s Mission Statement and realistically grounded in available resources. Send your ideas/input to chamberboard at cbor.us.

> George, You might mention that I passed out 3 press kits from Oregon Wine Press, so that individuals could consider an individual or joint ad for Savor Cannon Beach. They will put the event on the calendar. Oregon Wine Press is the only Oregon-focused wine magazine with free distribution 22,000-25,000 copies in 600 locations throughout the state. (18 locations in Beaverton, 18 in Carlton, 26 in Eugene etc.) Advertising rates are comparable to other publications a rate card is provided.

Jenee and partner Ryan Sunnell started Pearce-Sunnell Contracting after she lost $180K to a contractor during the building of a home. Her company does plumbing, radiant floors, and general contracting – new construction and remodels. Phone 503-436-9292 E-mail jpmushen at aol.com. Web www.sunnellcontracting.com. Jenee passed out a sheet titled “How to prevent freezing pipes” She showed a timer device that connects to a gas water heater to control temperature and hot water timing to save energy. She recommends a tankless water heater. She brought some items donated to her by suppliers which she raffled off by selling raffle tickets for $1 each to anyone around the table. The money ($21) went to the Cannon Beach Children’s Center. Jenee has raised and helped with 5 children (2 sisters and 3 of husband Bob Mushen) and has been married for 20 years. She and Bop raise and breed Whippets (dogs) – one has been named #1 in Canada. The Christmas wish from Jenee and Bob read “May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that God has given to you. May you be content with yourself just he way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and live. It is there for each and every one of us”
> 5. Bob Necker would like to see a benefit dinner take place in February with proceeds going to the CB Charity Fund.
> 6. Bob Mushen: The Cannon Beach Charity account at US Bank is now over $1000, but no money has been disbursed as of yet. This account is intended to help those in need in our community. Make check payable to US Bank. Designate that the money is for the CB Charity Account and specify a recipient if you have one in mind. Jenee’s company is working to have a driveway culvert put in for one of the recipients.
> 7. Kathy: The FIRST Cannon Beach celebration, a procession called "Las Posadas." This procession commemorates the nine days Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem, looking for an inn for Jesus' birth.. The Spanish word "posada" means "inn" or "lodging. Mary and Joseph are referred to as "Los Pergegrinos" (the Pilgrims). The Hispanic community welcomes one and all. There will be chanting, other songs, a special Christmas punch, and pinata for all to enjoy. Tonight and tomorrow are the last nights. It takes place at 6pm at the Elk Creek Terrace Apartments.
