1. Wendy started off by asking everyone to be respectful in response
to what others have to say so as not to discourage or squelch the opinions
and ideas of others.
2. George: There has been a request by one of the upcoming "Show &
Tell" businesses to have that WMM at their place of business. Discussion
followed and several people expressed their concern for disrupting the
continuity of having WMM's at the same location. Further discussion was
about changing the day or time of the WMM's on occasion. Again, the
consensus was to be consistent with the day, time and place of the meetings.
3, Gary: Savor Cannon Beach (March 12-14) is getting closer and there
is still an opportunity for a Sunday morning event if anyone in interested.
Any business with an idea or event to tie into the weekend is to let Gary
know ASAP. It's still not too late to get included in the some of the
promotion. Businesses could combine efforts with the sale of packages
including lodging. Get creative. Talk to your neighbors. Julie says a press
release is going out now from CBBA.
4. Carol: Business after Hours at the Gazette last Thursday went very
well. Approx 40 people enjoyed wine, food and each other's company at the
Gazette office above Purple Moon
5. Carol: Gazette Show and Tell: Carol grew up in Portland and
visited he coast often with her family. Her husband Steve, from Nebraska,
came to Oregon for college and they met at that time. Steve is an old
school journalist, having worked in nearly all aspects of the business.
Carol earned a Arts Administration degree from Oregon State, then went on
for her Masters at University of Washington. She worked for the Portland
Opera in Marketing, set up the box office for the newly constructed Hult
Center in Eugene. She went back to Nebraska with Steve and they began
buying small community newspapers and eventually had 24 of them before
their four children (all currently attorneys) and 5 grandchildren pulled
them back to Oregon. They sold off some Nebraska papers and began buying
Oregon Coast papers. The Gazette was the first, followed by the Seaside
Signal and the Tillamook Headline Herald. The Gazette is published every
other week on Thursdays with a circulation between 2500 and 3000 depending
on time of year. There are 6 or 7 other publication per year including
Stormy Weather Arts Festival, Spring Unveiling, Haystack Holidays, etc. The
focus is on community. Carol likes happy stories. "There is already too
much doom and gloom out there."
6. George: At yesterday's Chamber Board Meeting, it was decided to
place a 1/3 page ad in the 2010-2011 edition of Oregon Coast Magazine's
Highway 101 Mile by Mile Guide. This guide has a print run of 300,000 and
is distributed up and down the coast and throughout the state. It is hoped
that Cannon Beach businesses will purchase ads to create a full page or
even a Cannon Beach spread. The ad(s) will run next to Cannon Beach's free
mile marker listing. Contact Rob Spooner at robert at ohwy.com to be
included.
7. Tim: The Chamber Board also decided yesterday to allocate $2000 to
an overhaul on the Chamber website - www.cannonbeach.org (not to be
confused with www.cannon-beach.net). The site when completed in approx 6
weeks will have a consistent look - like that of the front page now.
Navigation will be simplified with cascading menus to facilitate searches.
At the bottom of the cascading will be pages for chamber members with
photos and text and a link to their site. Tim's analogy is the iphone.
8. George: The Chamber is organizing committees and sub-committees
for events, projects, etc and is seeking volunteers. Sheets were passed
around with the current preliminary committee members listed. People were
asked to look them over and remove their name or add it as appropriate.
Some of the names on the list were from last year's committees. The
committees include Facilities, Marketing, Website/ Magazine, Events,
Sandcastle, Stormy Weather Arts Festival, Haystack Holidays, Bylaws and
Finance. If anyone could help out with any of these, even in a small way,
please e-mail chamberboard at cbor.us.
9. Kim: The Cannon Beach Gallery Group's new quarterly brochure is
out. Kim brought a box of brochure for people to take to their businesses.
More are available at Bronze Coast Gallery. The brochure features the
Gallery Groups Sponsors and Members. It is divided into three sections;
January | Winter on the Coast, February | Heart to Heart and March | Savor
Cannon Beach.
10. Lesle: With the New Year here, this is a good time to do some
website maintenance - 1. Change copyright date to 2010. 2. Check Google Map
to be sure your business is properly located. If not drag it where it
belongs. 3. Look at or create your Google Analytics account.
11. Abby: The Lumberyard Rotisserie and Grill has moved to a year-round
5-day schedule - closing Tuesday and Wednesday.
12. JeffJ: Future Business after Hours will take place each 2nd
Thursdays at 430pm - Feb 11 at the Lodges at Cannon Beach, March 11 at
Duane Johnson Real Estate, April 8 at EVOO and May 13 at Sea Ranch RV
Resort.
13. JeffJ: The Chamber newsletter is being retooled and will go out
weekly on Thursday. Deadline for submissions is Tuesday at 5pm
14. George: Measures 66 and 67. Ballots are due in mail Friday or can
be dropped off at ballot boxes till Tuesday Jan 26 - Including City Hall.
Phil Knight (Nike) recently spoke out against these measures calling them
"Oregon's Assisted Suicide Law II" saying they would give Oregon the
highest income tax rates in the country and further the already high
unemployment rate in Oregon.
15. Next Wednesday Morning Meeting - January 27, 2010, Mo's, 8am - Show &
Tell by Jeff Jewel / Cannon Beach Chamber (see upcoming list below). Mo's is
closed for breakfast but coffee is available. Bring your own cup.
Note: I do not catch everything at these meetings. If you say something at
the meeting that you want to be sure I don't miss in my notes, either put it
on paper and hand it to me at the meeting or e-mail me right after the
meeting. george at cannon-beach.net.

(jeaniehallmclaughlin at hotmail.com) or at the meeting tomorrow. She wants to

14. Next Wednesday Morning Meeting - January 20, 2010, Mo's, 8am - Show
& Tell by Carol Hungerford / CB Gazette (see upcoming list below). Mo's is
closed for breakfast but coffee is available. Bring your own cup.
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 <http://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. - Contact billbennett 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.
13. Next Wednesday Morning Meeting - January 20, 2010, Mo's, 8am - Show &
Tell by Carol Hungerford / CB Gazette (see upcoming list below). Mo's is
closed for breakfast but coffee is available. Bring your own cup.

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

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

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

Trail. The deadline to submit your position to the city is January 5th in

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
<http://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)
3. Bill: CB Community Food Systems through strong community support is a
viable sustainable organization. Thanks to all who helped.
4. Gary: Savor Cannon Beach plans are moving ahead. To be included in

passed out yesterday throughout town. Besides this publication, Rob
publishes Oregon Coast Magazine (since the mid 80's) and www.ohwy.com
<http://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

7. Bob Mushen (our County Commissioner): ODOT is on track to get our Hwy
101 flooding problem solved. Bob says he will not rest till it is taken care
of.
8. Bob Mushen/Jeff Jewel: NWACT and ODOT will be holding a meeting on
January 7th 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). I have
attached a copy of the minutes from the last meeting which was held at the
Cannon Beach Chamber and the agenda for the Scappoose meeting. Please let me
know ASAP if you plan to attend, we will attempt to arrange carpooling or
other transportation options depending on number of attendees. RSVP to

jeff at cannonbeach.org.
10. Margo: 2010 marks 20 years for the Cannon Beach Children's Center.
Margo was part of the organizers 20 years ago.
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.
14. Various people called attention to the value of these Wednesday
Morning Meetings and appreciation for the efforts of Wendy Higgins and
George Vetter for organizing, arranging and reporting - and to Bob Neroni
and Lenore Emory for hosting the early meetings. [Thanks to all 2009 hosting
venues- Ocean Lodge (1 week), EVOO (14 weeks) Chamber of Commerce (4 weeks),

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.
16. Next Wednesday Morning Meeting - January 6th 2010, Mo's , 8am.
Julianne Cook / Mo's Restaurant will have the floor for Show and Tell. (see
upcoming list below) Bring your coffee cup.
Note: After last weeks Notes went out, I got this from Stephanie
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. As a group; a
quarter page could range $47.00 each for 10 people and would drop depending
on how many wished to participate. I have a press kit and business cards /if
anyone is interested contact Nelli Vanderburgh 503-6871252. Steph
Note: I do not catch everything at these meetings. If you say something at
