With 40 people in attendance, and Wendy Higgins absent, Jeff Jewel was the
facilitator of the Feb. 17 Wednesday morning meeting. Notes by Bill Mullen
Featured Business
Using her website as a template (www.abel2manage.com
<http://www.abel2manage.com/> ), Tracy Abel gave a presentation about her
business, Abel Management. She noted that in these economic times many
companies and organizations do not have event planners. While not "rocket
science," she added that she brings a great deal of experience to all of the
necessary planning details that are required to make big events a success.
Some of these details include:
* Setting up timelines
* Setting up a conference office
* Site selection
* Meeting space arrangements (including breakout rooms)
* Negotiating with hotels (e.g., what happens if the rooms reserved
aren't filled)
* Audio visual components
* Speaker coordination
* Registration services
* Exhibits
Tracy added that while she has experience with planning both events and
meetings, she prefers the latter because of their longer process, "often a
year in advance." She also added that her company has been greatly involved
with various medical groups and associations that require continuing
education credits.
She was praised for her work with promoting Stormy Weather. Asked how
Cannon Beach might better promote itself as a host location for such things
as continuing education seminars, Tracy said what makes it difficult is the
distance from an airport and transportation. She said, though, "it's doable,
we just have to focus on it."
Round Table
* Hoteliers, restaurants and Basket Case all reported that the
Valentine's / President's Day weekend went well.
* Jeff Jewel and Gary Hayes spoke about the upcoming Savor Cannon
Beach weekend, March 12-14. Encouragement was given to purchase tickets for
the Savor weekend in advance.
* Carol Lynch of the Children's Center said they have 19 confirmed
wineries, with 2 locations getting their own.
* Jim Kingwell urged businesses to promote "the 12 days of Earth Day"
(April 22-May 3).
* Gary noted that the Friends of Haystack Rock will begin a
fundraising campaign beginning on Earth Day and continuing through June.
* A tax tip was given that donations made to various Haitian Relief
funds before March 1 could be included in 2009 taxes.
* Regarding Haitian Relief, Carol Lynch also mentioned the Children's
Center's Soles for Souls effort to get shoes to those in need.
* Jennifer Williamson said the 1st Farmers Market meeting for
volunteers will be Feb. 23 at 5 p.m. at City Hall.
* Jean Furchner commented on the excellent turnouts the Library has
had for their first Thursday of the month World of Haystack Rock lecture
series. On March 4, Bob Bailey, of Oregon Department of Land Conservation &
Development, will speak on the "Living with Climate Change on the Oregon
Coast."
* John Sowa of Sweet Basils: Lite Bites on March 2 (supports United
Way)
* Jeff commented on the "fantastic Business after Hours" gatherings.
He also praised an article by Nancy McCarthy in the Daily Astorian on the
"Spirit of Cooperation" in Cannon Beach.
* Jeff also reminded everyone that "it's really important we go en
masse" to a meeting about the proposed tunnel closure on March 1, from 2:30
- 4:30 p.m. in Seaside at the Chisholm Community Center.

3, Pia: The building now housing the Coaster Theatre was built in 1924
as a roller rink. Silent films were shown in the 20's and later on concerts
were performed on a makeshift stage in the middle of the rink. In the late
1960's Portland State University started doing a summer series of plays on a
stage they built at the west end of the building, where the seating area is
now. In 1972 Maury Clark purchased the building and with architect Ray
Watkins they transformed the building into the theatre that it is to this
day. Around this same time the annual "Dickens Christmas Play" became a
community tradition, with townspeople dressing the part, and Jay Schwehr
taking on the role of the town's lamplighter, which he has continued to do
for over 30 years. The 80's saw the arrival of theatre director Stephen
Diehl and summer seasons presented by the Mark Allen Players from Portland.
During these early years, and through to the beginning of the new
millennium, Maury Clark continued to generously support the theatre. Ticket
sales in any regional or community theatre barely cover more than half of
the cost of operations, so Mr. Clark's support was crucial to the survival
of the Coaster Theatre.
When Maury Clark passed away, the theatre became a nonprofit organization
with both a board of Directors, and a Foundation Board whose task was to
raise an endowment for the theatre to insure its longevity. When Stephen
left the theatre in early 2002, Craig and Pia arrived and in 2003 they
revived the idea of a Summer Repertory Season of 3 plays rotating throughout
the summer months.....visitors to Cannon Beach could see any one of, or all
three plays, in a single week. A summer theatre camp for children was also
introduced and continues to grow.
This year a year-round educational theatre program is in place guided by
Patrick Lathrop, our Educational Theatre Director, who will be conducting
workshops and classes throughout the year, as well as our intensive 2 week
summer camp.
The theatre operates with a minimal paid staff, and depends on the
volunteers that perform on the stage, work back stage and staff the front of
house. Ticket sales still provide little more than 50% of what is needed to
keep our doors open, the remainder coming from grants, donors, advertisers,
generous sponsors, and various fund raising programs. For $500.00, for
example, one can become a part of our "Take a Seat" program. You can
purchase a seat of your choice and a brass plaque will be placed on that
seat with your name on it or an inscription of your choice.
The theatre is happy to work with motels, hotels, restaurants, etc. to
create packages and arrange for group rates. Performances typically start at
8 PM and end by 10 PM. Volunteers are always welcome and needed at the
door, and they see the show for free. The theatre does see a need for a
babysitting/kidwatching service that could be of benefit to almost any
business in town. For more info. visit www.coastertheatre.com
