** **
4. RobinR: There were 6 sales of a million dollars or more in Clatsop
County during 2001. Not a great number, but something. With prices down,
this would be a good time to apply for a reduction in assessed value with
the County.**
** **
5. TerriL: Wayfarer Restaurant features Happy Hour daily from 3 to 5pm
with both food and drink specials. The restaurant will be closed Jan3-5 for
winter cleaning and maintenance. www.wayfarer-restauant.com.**

upgrade the server and network at the Chamber. LisaS: www.quill.com is a
supplier that Mo's recently used for computer equipment and found their
prices the best. Get you login to the Member's section of the new Chamber
website now from brent at cannonbeach.org. There is a position on the Chamber
Board open.**
****
7. BrentD: Visitors from far and wide are in town now and have been for
the past week. The Visitor's Center is seeing people from around the
country and world. **
** **
8. BrentD: The 2012 Cannon Beach Magazine will be out in a couple months.
There are enough mags remaining right now to suggest we need to push these
out the doors before they end up at our recycle center. Put them in bags
with purchases. Encourage visitors to pick them up - take them home. If you
or anyone you know is headed off somewhere and can take some mags, contact
brent at cannonbeach.org.**
** **
9. GeorgeV: The Chamber is paying off an $88k loan on the building. It is
currently being refinanced to lower the interest. Fundraisers are needed to
pay this loan down. ****
** **
10. BrianO: To the rescue. A joint fundraiser with Seaside Providence
Hospital is in the planning stages for September 2012. It will be an
auction with a 50/50 split. The hospital portion will go toward the Cannon
Beach Walk-in Clinic. It is estimated that the Chamber's portion would be
$10k+**
** **
11. PhilS: New at today's meeting and on a mission - Arch Cape resident and
family man - Phillip Simmons - retired Marine Corps - employed currently by
Clatsop County Veterans Services - but here today in support of keeping
Cannon Beach School. We need to keep our school to attract quality people
to live and work here. 10% of the districts students are from Arch Cape and
Cannon Beach yet 25% of the funding comes from here. The decision
ultimately rests with the School Board, but if we built a school, would
they not choose to honor our wishes and use it? A petition going around
asks that the City Council appoint a task force to study the potential ways
to keep our school. And that the City delay voting on the draft resolution
to recommend closure of the school. until the task force has had time to
investigate and report. The next School Board Meeting is the third Thursday
- January 19th at 6pm. Join Phil there. Phil 503-440-8310.

Christmas – Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. www.evoo.biz. ****
** **
14. GeorgeV: The last 15 minutes of today’s meeting was spent on FaceBook
and Twitter. Mo’s new wireless service is working perfectly. GaryH led off
by reminding everyone of the importance of using social media for more than
just a way to broadcast your messages.”Like” people who “like” you and
share and comment their postings. Think of it as a network where everyone
is helping everyone else. Go to the pages of people who “like” you and look
at the list of people who “like” them. “Like” those that you like. When you
“like” a post, your “like” is not shared, only when you “share” a post is
it shared. In order for social media to do us the most good, we need to
spread our messages out over time and not all at once. For example, Gary
posted about Savor Cannon Beach last week and for a short time it was
shared everywhere, but then like a flash in the pan, it was gone. To get
more exposure, we need to schedule out posts and “likes” and “shares” and
comments so we keep the info in the current flow. This is something we can
coordinate at our WMM sessions. Do come next week with your laptops and
plan to advance your knowledge and understanding of social media. And your
business!!****

2. JohnB: Cannon Beach Chorus’ concert at the Festival of Trees in
Seaside was a great success. ****
** **
3. BrianO: Business after Hours by Cannon Beach Vacations Rentals was a
big hit – 70-80 people stopped by for food drink and Holiday cheer. ****
** **
4. BobNer: The 2nd Annual Coastal Harvest of Giving benefit for the
Clatsop County Food Bank raised $45K. . ****
** **
5. LisaS: As of later today, Mo’s will have wireless Internet. Bring your
laptops next week for some social media posting and sharing ****
****
6. BobNer: There are just six seat remaining for Christmas Dinner at
EVOO. 503-436-8555 info at evoo.biz. ****
****
7. WendyH: There was heated discussion last night at City Hall regarding
the potential closure of Cannon Beach Elementary. It is estimated that the
old structures and awnings would not stand in an earthquake of the
magnitude expected. Even if it did, the short legs of the young children
could not carry them to safety in time to escape an ensuing tsunami. The
council feels obligated in light of the warnings being sounded by
scientists to recommend to the School District closure of the school.
Seaside could currently accommodate the students. The council will
consider the resolution at its Jan 3 meeting.****
** **
8. GeorgeV: A new face can be seen at the Chamber on Tues and Thur pm’s –
Chris Mullen – a CCC accounting student is doing his internship with Brent
at the Chamber. ****
** **
9. GeorgeV: Cannon Beach is lit up for the season. For a slideshow to
share with your clients and friends find the link at www.cannon-beach.net.
If you’re out after dark, drive by the Stephanie Inn. Awesome! An image of
it posted on www.facebook.com/cannonbeachnet four days ago has already
garnered 42 likes, 22 shares and 15 comments. Chime in. Spread the word. ***
*
** **
10. RobS: Here’s a new idea as a local alternative to “Living Social” and
“Groupon” Example: Offer a room at a hotel for $100 with $100 worth of
shopping/dining vouchers. The hotel would receive $50 of the $100 and each
business whose voucher was used would receive 50% of its value. This is not
a way to make money, but is a way to bring in new business that would
hopefully become regular customers. Rob would also use theidea to
subscriptions to his Oregon Coast Magazine. Wendy and some others said that
people using these kind of promotions don’t come back except for another
promotion of similar nature. Tracy said that this has worked for CB Hotel
Lodgings. ****
** **
11. RobertK: After a year of having CB Treasure Co here, it has become
apparent that the Portland weather people often mistakenly report bad
weather for the coast. Can we all begin to post and tweet what the weather
really is? Send people to the live web cam for Channel 6 located at
Tolovana Inn -
http://weather.weatherbug.com/OR/Cannon%20Beach-weather/weather-cams/local-cams.html
****
** **
12. GeorgeV: Several years ago, after considerable research and observation
by various people it was concluded that the tides that correspond most
closely with Cannon Beach are those measured by NOAA at the North Jetty of
the Columbia River. Because of the many factors that influence tides from
one location to another, they cannot be predicted by interpolating. NOAA
only predicts tides where they measure them. They do not measure them in
Cannon Beach. The North Jetty of the Columbia River are the tides published
in the Cannon Beach Magazine, the Chamber website and on
www.Cannon-Beach.net.****
** **
13. JerryM: The Wayfarer Restaurant will be open for Christmas Dinner. Make
reservations now 503-436-1108. Other restaurants to be open are the Pig and
Morris’s****
** **
14. GeorgeV: There has been considerable attention paid to campaigns to
“Shop Local”. If these campaigns were 100% effective, most of us would be
out of business. There aren’t enough residents to support all of us. What
we should be campaigning for is to “Shop Small”. Wal-Mart, Kmart, Costco,
Target, etc, etc, etc have succeeded at the expense of millions of small
retailers. Put some signs up in your store that encourage people to “Shop
Small” ****

10. GaryH: Savor NorthWest is an idea that Gary is rolling out today. It is
a wine competition to crown the best wine. It will precede Savor Cannon
Beach and serve as a lead into it. www.savorNW.com ****

11. GaryH: The ad deadline for Cannon Beach Magazine is past, but if you
get to Gary now, you can still get in. gary at coastexplorermagazine.com ****
** **
12. GaryH: It’s time to push the remaining CB Magazines out the door.
Ideally, the 2011 magazines are gone up just as the new ones arrive. Pick
up a stack for your business at the Chamber and get them into the hands of
visitors so they don’t end up at the Cannon Beach Recycle Depot. ****
** **
13. WendyH: The quarter ending Sept 30th saw a 4% increase in Lodging tax.
Some of this increase is because it was just a year ago that the tax was
increased by 1% and rooms that were booked prior to the effective date were
exempt from the increase.****
** **
14. WendyH: The City potluck is Monday Dec 12 at 6pm at the Chamber
Community Hall. Learn more about the Tsunami options.****

15. GeorgeV: The last 15 minutes of WMMs will be devoted to social
media/networking. The goal is to better leverage social media (Facebook,
Twitter, etc) for our events and our businesses. Part of the time will be
spent learning from each other and part posting and sharing info. ****
** **
16. GaryH: Using Facebook as a broadcast station for one’s own business is
not enough. It’s important to “like” other businesses, “comment” on their
sites and “share” posts from their sites. This serves to spread the info to
many more people. You are helping yourself at the same time you are helping
others. ****
** **
17. GeorgeV: Mo’s does not have WiFi. Alex says there are no plans to get
it. George will ask Jim at Tolovana Inn if WMMs can take place there so
WiFi can be used for the social networking. ****

FotoArt for some very special locals pricing. Ask for Lo. ****

13. GeorgeV: In a recent CB Magazine Review, I suggested including a QR
code next to the Chamber web address. All business should be including QR
codes on their printed materials. (explained at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code) I generated one for Cannon-Beach.Net

go to your app store. The free one I downloaded has ads at the bottom of
the screen. Google “QR Code generator” to find a site to generate a QR code
for your site. JonR: Try to find a site that includes analytics so you can
track usage. Note: The site Rob and Jon mentioned – www.bit.ly, it not a QR
Generator, but rather a site to shorten a URL – similar to www.tinyurl.com *
