An additional reminder that tonight is the Clatsop Community College Board
of Directors meeting where the public may have input to the administration's
recommendation to eliminate the full time faculty position for the Small
Business Management Program. For well over 20 years, this program has helped
hundreds, probably thousands, become stronger businesses, better employers
and in many cases helped them survive tough times. Other community college's
who have eliminated faculty for this program and given responsibility to the
Small Business Development Center have seen a decrease in services and a
loss of FTEs. Any who are concerned about this potential loss of services to
our business community should plan on attending to show your support for
continuing existing faculty funding for the program as it currently exists,
even if you don't want to make a public statement. The meeting is a Clatsop
Community College's Columbia Hall, Room 219 at 6:30pm

> Tim K reported on yesterday's monthly chamber board meeting. The board has

> 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

>
>
> 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.

> Gary shared changes to Facebook protocol. Used to be business Facebook

> 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

> Cannon Beach Magazine arrived yesterday, and distribution has begun. Coast
