2.   George: Plein Air & More kicked of Friday with the Meet and Greet the
artists show at the Chamber. The hall was converted to a first class gallery
with track lighting standing walls throughout. The place filled as the doors
opened and it was festive as wine and lite bites were served. Saturday the
painting and creating began in the rain at 11a at designated places around
town, but mostly in the galleries because of the weather. Volunteers in red
vests were on the street to answer questions. About mid afternoon, the rain
subsided and gave way to a beautiful afternoon and evening. The show at the
Chamber continued on Saturday. Galleries hosted receptions from 5-7p and
later on Saturday showcasing the completed works of their artists. Sunday -
artists continued to paint and create around town while Saturday's completed
works were featured at the Chamber. Find the link to Plein Air & More photos
at www.cannon-beach.net. 

3.   BrianO: The Ocean Lodge has volunteered to be the July afterhours
recipient of calls for lodging vacancy. During business hours, call the
Information Center (503-436-2623) to advise if you have vacancies. At
closing, Sharon will advise the Ocean Lodge (503-436-2241) and post their
phone on the door at the Info Ctr. www.cannonbeach.org 

4.   GeorgeV: At an organizational meeting last night at city hall,
volunteers signed up to help with removal of debris from our beaches. More
volunteers are needed. It is estimated that tons of debris will land here
over the months and years ahead. Four categories of debris include 1. Litter
and other typical marine debris. Pick up info sheets and bags at city hall
and collect these items and leave the bag(s) secured at the high tide line.
2. Vessel or other large items. Call 911 or US Coast Guard 510-437-3701. 3.
Mementos or Possessions Call 888-953-1677. 4. Hazardous Materials Call
800-424-8802. It is important to keep the beach debis separate from our
local garbage so the volume can be tracked and reported to state and federal
official. Assistance will likely be needed to cope with expected volume of
debris. Locally contact city manager Rich Mays 503-436-8050
mays at ci.cannon-beach.or.us. 

5.  Tufted Puffins: Two tufted puffins showed up at the meeting accompanied
by StacyB. One spoke cockney English. They were on hand to call attention to
the Great Cannon Beach Puffin Watch over the Independence Day Holiday at
Haystack Rock - July 3-5 from 7-10am. The puffin count at the Rock at this
point is 19 - down from more than 100 in past years. No obvious reason has
been agreed upon. But these birds are active so with the help of HRAP
volunteers and scopes, you will be able to see them during low tides next
week and in the weeks to come. www.friendsofhaystackrock.org. Or

4.   SharonV: When searching Google for Cannon Beach Chamber, the wrong info
comes up. Sharon has been working to have this fixed, but finding where and
how to do so is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Festival committee with the help of Tracy Abel. Committee member are being
sought. Contact chamber at cbor.us. There was much discussion about Friday's
night's Quick Draw event. This event is a money-maker for the Chamber. Some
galleries have complained that the declining amounts received by the
auctioned art devalues the work of participating artists and that their
artists no longer want to participate. Locals, who used to attend and bid
items up to support the Chamber in this fundraiser have not been showing up.
The committee will be looking at ways to energize the evening. Those
attending have enjoyed the evening. The entrance fee of $55 individual and
