Oct 15. Our WMM's will need to find a new venue. Three suggestions from the
group are Tolovana Inn, Pizza a Fetta and the Chamber. The Chamber is
available except when booked for a wedding or other event. I will see if
either Tolovana Inn or Pizza a Fetta is willing. Thanks to Mo's for hosting
us for some 3 years and for having coffee ready with a smile. It was been a
great community service. Note: Need someone(s) to take notes in Sept while
George is gone. Reply now if available.

8.  GeorgeV: Adopt a dog! On Sunday August 12th, between 1-3pm, the animal
shelter will be at Dog Days (downtown at Village Centre -

Community Church continue each Friday. Meet at 930am at the Community Church

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
Ocean Lodge. Occupancy is holding up, but much is coming in at the last
minute.  BTW, the tasting at EVOO this week is cured meats and salami. -
www.EVOO.biz. 

6.  WendyH: Surfsand Resort 503-436-2274 is the current number to call for

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

excitement and BARGAINS of your favorite Holiday Season!"

August 19 at 5:00pm at Clatsop County Fairgrounds. Find Shanghaied Roller
