Greetings.
I simply wanted to correct the record on item #16 concerning Clatsop Community College.
In order to balance the FY 2012 budget, it is necessary for us to reduce expenditures and raise revenue totaling approximately $1.07M in a $9M general fund budget. To that end, one of the approximately 12 positions recommended for elimination is the small business management instructor position.
Nevertheless, Clatsop Community College will continue to offer our Small Business Development Program which includes small business management curriculum and services.
As one of the largest employers in the area, it is regretful that we must restructure in a way that results in job losses. However, it is necessary to deal with the impact on the loss of state and local funding that we have suffered due to the historic recession. This, despite record enrollment at the college.
It is unfortunate that misinformation about the net effect of this change is rampant.
Clatsop Community College remains committed to working with our small businesses, the engine of our coastal economy, by offering small business management courses and assistance In the years to come.
Respectfully submitted,
Larry Galizio
Larry Galizio, Ph.D
President, Clatsop Community College

Drop by, call or e-mail the Chamber with your support or questions – 503-436-2623 <mailto:chamber at cbor.us> chamber at cbor.us<mailto:chamber at cbor.us>.
16. Gary: For budgetary reasons, the administration at Clatsop Community College is recommending to the Board that the Small Business Development Program be dropped by the college and moved to the Small Business Development Center. There is concern that the program would suffer without the guidance and leadership of the person who has done it for 20 years and knows the area and it’s businesses so well. The Board will be taking community input Tuesday March 1 at 630pm in Columbia Hall Room 219.
17. George: Sunset Empire Transit District (SETD) has a Board position opening. SETD operates the bus system from Astoria to Nehalem, including Cannon Beach. They meet once a month for a meeting that lasts 2 hours. They receive packets a week in advance. Sometimes they will have a special meeting during the month. People are needed who are willing to give time and business knowledge to the Board. You would have to go the court house and register for the May election, It would cost you $10.00. The position that will be open is # 7. The person who has served for 8 years is leaving due to her job.

Wednesday Morning Meeting at Mo’s
Feb 16th, 8am
Notes by Carol Hungerford - CB Gazette, Coast River Business Journal.
Attending (22): KarenM, TimK, GaryH, LisaS, AnnR, MeaganH, ClaireM, BobN, StephanieA, MichaelB, KathleenE, PamelaH, KristineG, PrudenceF, DaleS, PatF, BrianO, JohnB, JimK, LindaD, LesleP, CarolH.
Excused: George Vetter
New to this meeting (at least they gave email addresses) Claire Mittelstet claireba4ever at gmail.com<mailto:claireba4ever at gmail.com> and Pamela Hamrick “phamrick47 at gmail.com”
Stephanie has Fisher Poet Buttons. Purchase of buttons gets you into all the events that will be held from Astoria to Cannon Beach, during the last three days of Feb.
Yoga Festival is also Feb. 25-27. Claire passed out brochures for the festival, and has posters. She pointed out that world class instructors will be at the event teaching various types of yoga. $325 gets you two days of classes. The festival is produced by the Tolovana Arts Colony, funded by the TAC funds. Many local restaurants will be offering vegan/vegetarian meals. Already have 65 registered participants, but have the capacity for 120. Also offering the option of sharing a registration for people who can’t attend both days.
Kristine G recapped the pr efforts of the Cannon Beach Chamber thru DVA. They have pushed the Taylor Branch conference, Yoga Festival, Savor Cannon Beach and are currently ramping up for Sandcastle days. She also noted that next week our community will be hosting a group of travel writers that are visiting Astoria thru Garibaldi. The tour was put together by OVCA. Last, she said she fielded a call from Trip Advisor asking if we would put the Travel Advisor logo on the bottom of our web site home page. That would get Cannon Beach a slot (in rotation with ???others) on their site for “best beach vacation home rentals”. Their home site gets 13 million hits/month.
Tim K reported on yesterday’s monthly chamber board meeting. The board has reassessed the chamber goals and priorities since the loss of the ED in December. One thing that came out of that process was decision to divide the responsibilities into three categories. First was administrative duties, and that interim slot has been filled by a current employee, Sharon Visser. Second component is web site maintenance, and work has been initiated to hire a vendor to complete needed web work. Third component focuses on membership relationships, which includes marketing, sponsorships, events, etc. A full search will be made for that person. Rich Mays is leading the search committee.
Bob shared that EVOO is offering 24 hours of culinary instruction that will be one on one with Bob and Lenore. A few slots are still open. Instruction begins this Sunday, goes thru Wednesday. No cooking experience required.
Dale noted that the History Center is offering a harp concert on the last Saturday of the month. Also, now recruiting homes for “cottage tour” this summer. It will be called Cottage Tour – Sampling of Cannon Beach, so that they can include more of a variety of homes. Tolovana will be the featured area. Last, the Smithsonian exhibit will be installed this summer. The exhibit includes a globe that needs to guarded during all the hours the exhibit is open to the public. History center looking for volunteer guards. (Bring a book, sit next to the globe.)
Gary shared changes to Facebook protocol. Used to be business Facebook pages had to be set up under your personal page. Now has changed so that you can switch and now interact as your business (rather than individual.) If you have tons of “friends” on your page, important to switch to the business platform.
Gary also talked about Savor Cannon Beach, passing around table tents. There are only 20 tickets left for the entire festival, from original 100. Some of the local hotels have packages that include festival tickets, as well. Festival tickets are different from the wine tour tickets that are available at the Chamber. Wine tour tickets cost $25. The event is the weekend of March 11,12 13.
Cannon Beach Magazine arrived yesterday, and distribution has begun. Coast Explorer is available later this week. This is the earliest the CB Mag has been available, well in advance of spring break. YIPEE! It has an additional 8 pages in it from last year. Gary spoke favorably about the partnership between Pelican Productions and the Chamber. Kristin praised the mag and Gary’s willingness to include full pgs of beautiful visuals and thoughtful phrases like you might find in a personal journal. She thought it enhanced the product with a romantic feel, perfect for Cannon Beach.
Gary has also posted the new virtual magazine. With an added feature where you can click on an ad and be linked to the advertiser’s home page.
Wendy noted that a Business After Hours will be March 2 at 390 Elk Creek RD, from 4:30-6:30 sponsored by Coaster Construction.

2. PrudenceF: Both the Friday and Saturday events were at about 2/3 attendance. Those who were there were “astounded”. The speakers “blew them away”. Thanks to the Chamber, Cannon Beach Vacation Rentals, Escape Lodging, Coaster Theatre, the lodging establishments who offered great packages and to all those who helped. Special thanks to Carol Knutsen-Hawes, who conceived and planned the event. George reported that the guest at Inn at Village Centre reported that it was a great event. Tracy said her Lush Wine Bar business benefitted and she talked to restaurants who were busy at times when they would normally not have been.
3. An e-mail from Melanie regarding her Nursing Museum read: “Just wanted to let you know the Planning Commission approved the text amendment to allow museums in the C-1 Zone. The City Council will take it up on March 1st”.

5. Bob Neroni: Robyn Cannon is putting together a smart phone app for Pike Place Market. She is doing this with Sutro, a company who does this with travel writers for higher end destinations. The estimated cost for such an app is $40K. If all Cannon Beach businesses listed in the city produced map, paid equally, the cost would be $115 each. It would take approx 4 months to build the app. The app would allow users to download it onto their phones or pads (small fee $5 or less) and have GPS convenience to everything the app contained. For info that Robyn put together see <http://www.cannon-beach.net/photos_cb/cbTravelApp/Cannon_Beach_Travel_App.pdf> www.cannon-beach.net/photos_cb/cbTravelApp/Cannon_Beach_Travel_App.pdf<http://www.cannon-beach.net/photos_cb/cbTravelApp/Cannon_Beach_Travel_App.pdf>. JeffT and GaryH pointed out that there are apps out there now that include Cannon Beach and that Google and current websites already include most of the information that would need to be gathered and maintained on an app. George agreed saying that even if the money challenge were overcome, it would be a major challenge to keep the app current and that you could not rely on participants to do that without having someone designated to verify that info is current and to solicit current info from participants. Malia thinks that smart phone apps will become the norm in the future just like websites are now. She thinks getting started with something, even if it is small, is a good idea.
6. Gary: Savor Cannon Beach Wine and Culinary Festival March 10-13. (Thursday - Sunday) Only 29 of the 100 available $60 Festival tickets remain. 500 $25 Winter Wine Tickets will be sold. Festival tickets include the Winter Wine Walk which is a benefit for the CB Children’s Center.

11. Carmen Swigart/Aaron Meyer: Sea Ranch Resort presents Children’s Summer Music Camp 2011 with violinist Aaron Meyer and guitarist/producer Tim Ellis. Wed and Thur June 22 and 23 at Sea Ranch’s “Sundance Event Lodge”. Aaron is originally from Philly. His father was a classic concert violinist. Aaron came to Oregon to study at Lewis and Clark, but not music. He has since immersed himself in music. He is passionate about music education. He visits schools regularly. He has been doing a summer children’s workshop in Portland for years. His workshop is designed for 8 to 14 yr olds with or without music experience. The fee is $250 for two sessions/day for two days followed by a concert. Participants will learn how to write, perform and record their own original songs and make their own MP3. Each child creates a song, choosing all aspects of that song. The musical creations of each student are recorded. Aaron does an annual Holiday Concert and would love to bring a performance to Cannon Beach. Aaron treated us to a performance on his violin of an original composition – his first in 1996. <http://www.aaronmeyer.com> www.aaronmeyer.com<http://www.aaronmeyer.com>.
