4. MargoD/KevinL: Accepting American Express has become too expensive and
time-consuming. Margo has stopped accepting their cards. Kevin says he is
seeing other businesses do the same.
5. CathyH/WendyH: EVOO is still pretty much filling up for their dinner
shows, but more and more is last minute. Same thing is happening at the

minute. BTW, the tasting at EVOO this week is cured meats and salami. -

9. GeorgeV: Statistics about traffic in Cannon Beach has always been a
matter of opinion and speculation. Traffic counters on our roads, especially
at the entrances and exits would greatly assist businesses and event holders
in knowing the facts and in comparing one day, week, month, event to
another. Jason will see what can be done.
10. KathyK/MargoD: Evening shoppers are out, but consistently asking why so
many stores close at 5 and 6pm. The business is there if people are open.
WendyH says more guests at the Ocean Lodge would be shopping/strolling
downtown if more stores were open. There is just one month left to take
advantage of peak season. The sales that are done this time of year after
6pm will very likely surpass what can be done on any day in Jan or Feb and
many days in Dec and Mar. Try it!
11. KathyK: Mimosa Madness is the day after Thanksgiving. Make plans with
Kathy now to promote this Sales Event. "Cannon Beach's alternative to Black
Friday! Enjoy your holiday and don't worry you've missed out on the crush at
the mall. Cannon Beach merchants will be up early with you to share the fun,
excitement and BARGAINS of your favorite Holiday Season!"
www.facebook.com/mimosamadness
12. MargoD: Daughter Sarah is a Shanghaied Roller Doll: Their first event is
right around the corner! Come watch the Shanghaied Roller Dolls scrimmage in
the Inaugural Brawl! This is a kick off to the derby season and we want our
community to know how far we've come since coming together in September
2011! INAUGURAL BRAWL: The TEAse Party vs. The ProhiBITCH'n Party Sunday,
August 19 at 5:00pm at Clatsop County Fairgrounds. Find Shanghaied Roller
Dolls Fans on facebook.

2. SharonV: Traffic at the Information Center is up.
3. SharonV: Sheri Russell will be working with Troy Crowe and Tracy Abel
on heading up the 25th Stormy Weather Arts Festival Nov 2-4. Contact
chamber at cbor.us for info and to offer your assistance.
4. GeorgeV: Because of the lack of a quorum, the July Chamber Board
meeting has been moved to Tuesday July 24 at 9am at the Chamber.
5. CathyH: EVOO has Summer tastings on Saturdays from 11a-3p. This week is
chocolate.
6. WendyH/KathyK: The city has applied for an ODOT Grant for trails.
KathyK: there is money available to the city, but grant applications are
required.
7. PatF: The Friday Evacuation Walks led by Nancy Giasson from the
Community Church have been very valuable. Meet this Friday at 930am at the

9. JustinC: Sunset Empire Park & Recreation Distict offers Summer Camps for
kids Monday thru Friday. See www.sunsetempire.com
10. KathyK: In places around the country, groups are forming with the
purpose of keeping local shopping alive. Members pledge to spend a specified
amount of money - say $20 - along with other members of the group. Together
they decide which business will benefit and together they go off a shoppin'.
11. SharonV: Calls come into the Chamber asking is there is a way to
purchase a gift certificate that can be used around town. Different ideas
came out. The idea most popular seemed to be of the Chamber selling a check
to the consumer. This check would be written to "Chamber Member" and would
be accepted by a local business and deposited into their account along with
other checks. It would be a second party check, but local business could be
informed of its authenticity.
12. GeorgeV: The Cannon Beach Photo Review - Oct 12-14 - is seeking Lodging
Sponsors. The event will bring 16 reviewers and 48 photographers to town
from all paerts of the country. Many will travel with their families and
some are expected to be interested in an extended stay. Two nights
complimentary lodging for the reviewers and a discounted rate for the
photographers is being sought. Sponsor Benefits: inclusion of logo and photo
along with a description on the event website. Plus inclusion in all other
marketing materials. WendyH: Doesn't it seem like this is asking lodging to
give twice? First, the tax, then the sponsor. GeorgeV: Some lodging people
may feel that they won't fill that weekend and giving up a couple rooms may
more than pay for itself in increased exposure leading to increased bookings
for that weekend and beyond. This Cannon Beach Arts Association event is TAC
assisted. www.CannonBeachPhotoReviw.com 503-436-0744
cannonbeacharts at gmail.com
13. KathyK: Events receiving TAC dollars do not seem to be benefiting many
local businesses. JustinC: A survey could be required that would ask event
participants such questions as how long they stayed, how much they spent at
restaurants, shops, galleries, etc.
14. SusanB: The Gazette's insert "This is Cannon Beach, We Love It Here" Vol

12. SharonV: Plans for the 2012 Stormy Weather Arts Festival (SWAF) are
underway. Troy Crowe, new Chamber Board Member from the Ocean Lodge, is
looking for committee members and ideas for this 25th Annual Event. Some
galleries and artists have expressed disappointment in the prices being paid
for auction items at the Quickdraw event on Friday night. Troy has expressed
the desire to work on getting the right people to the event and promoting it
more as a benefit. With fewer artists and therefore more room for people and
table rather than concert seating he thinks the auction will return better
results. GeorgeV: Stormy Weather Arts Festival has been the Chamber's best
income producing event for many years. This past year was not nearly as
good. Ever since the economy has begun to stumble, the event has seen
diminishing returns - mostly because of bidding at the auction. Income from
the event, including sponsor money, pays for the event. Without the auction
or something to replace the income it generates, the event would not be
economically feasible. Contact chamber at cbor.us. Note: next Chamber Board
Meeting is Tuesday July 18 at 845am at the Chamber.

the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST)! COASST is a
citizen science project dedicated to involving volunteers in the collection
of high quality data on the status of coastal beaches, and trends of
seabirds. COASST volunteer systematically count and identify bird carcasses
that wash ashore along ocean beaches from northern California to Alaska.

started, learn how to use the custom Beached Birds field guide, and try out
your new identification skills. This event is free and open to the public;
volunteers need NO experience with birds. New participants that commit to
survey a specific beach (about 3/4 mile) each month pay a $20 deposit on
supplies and materials. Training activities take place indoors, and include

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

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.
5. CarolHun: Sharon Major (Stephanie Inn), Troy Crowe (Ocean Lodge) and
Sheri Russell (Bank of Astoria) are the new board members at the Chamber.
The nine member board also consists of Carol Hungerford, Brian Olson, George

seated at the July 17th meeting.
6. CarolHun: Troy Crowe has stepped up to head the Stormy Weather Arts
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
$99 couple includes food and one glass of wine although free pours are known
