1. TracyA: A committee is being organized to select a Chamber director. It
is hoped to have a director in place for August.

2. TracyA: 5 people have stepped forward to run for 3 open positions on the
9-member Chamber Board. Tracy has reached her term limit of 2 three-yr
terms. Eliza Davis has chosen not to run. Jason Schermerhorn, who was
appointed a year or so ago, will run along with Elaine Trucke, Becky
Sperley, Rachel Conyers & Doug Buttermore. Look for election info in your
email in the next couple weeks

3. SusanB: KMUM will do a 30-minute live interview Wednesday May 28th at
930am with Jim Paino and a Sandcastle Committee member about our 50th
Anniversary event.

4. GeorgeV: The Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest has received the 2014
Heritage Award from Oregon State Parks Heritage Commission. see

5. GeorgeV/JasonS: Our Sandcastle float (don't think too big now) will
debut in the Rose Festival Starlight Parade May 31st in downtown Portland.
It will also be in our Sandcastle Parade Friday June 20th. Our local parade
lineup is 630pm with a 7pm start. Register now at the Chamber or Police
Dept. Or register when you show up. The float will also be in the Regatta
parade in Astoria. The float is looking for a permanent home. If you have
or know of a garage with an 8' high door, please contact jim at cannonbeach.org.

6. Horse rides at Sea Ranch will begin for the season Memorial Day weekend.

7. TracyA/JimP/All: The last of the Spring Cruise Ship Tour buses have come
and gone. They will be back in August/Sept as they transition back to the
Caribbean. Six ships sent buses with an average of about 100 people per
ship to Cannon Beach and Seaside. This is an opportunity to leave a
favorable impression on first time visitors who have but one hour to soak
us in, but who will come back if we treat them right. Bruce's Candy Kitchen
supplied taffy and small plastic bags to fit 3 pieces of taffy which were
handed to visitors as they stepped off the buses. We need to be better
organized when 8 ships make their way back south. KathyK: There is a group
in Astoria - Cruise Hosts - that we should coordinate and work with.
Besides the Cruise Ships heading to and from Alaska, there are American
Empress riverboat cruises that come from Lewiston ID down the Columbia to
Astoria They too offer bus tours, but have not been coming to Cannon Beach.

8. GeorgeV: Look for an email from the Chamber asking whether you would pay
a minimum of $15 per month to have your business name, address, phone in a
full page ad once per month in the weekly Coast Weekend. If enough (approx
fifty $15 advertisers, fewer if larger ads) people respond, the Chamber
will add $150. Coast Weekend will then be brought back to town.

9. CarrieP: Cannon Beach Magazine is now taking ad commitments for the 2015
Magazine. Save 5% by reserving your space by June 30th and paying by July
31. Keep in mind too that Chamber Members get $175 off their ads. contact
