The task force created in 1995 could not find a suitable location out of the tsunami zone. The School Board wants to consolidate all district schools in one Seaside facility. The School Board has said that if Cannon Beach builds a school, they will use it. JohnB suggested a multi-purpose Cannon Beach facility be built to serve Emergency/Art/Education/City Hall purposes. Rich says to finance a school it would be best to have the costs known before going to the voters. This could take up to year. Even without knowing the costs in advance, it wouldn’t make sense to put it on the ballot in November. The next local meeting will be at Cannon Beach Elementary Jan 30<sup>th</sup> at 6pm.

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.

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!!</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Next Wednesday Morning Meeting – Dec 28, 2011, Mo’s, 8am.

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.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>8.

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.

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 <a href="http://www.Cannon-Beach.net" target="_blank">www.Cannon-Beach.net</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code</a>) I generated one for Cannon-Beach.Net at <a href="http://qrcode.kaywa.com" target="_blank">http://qrcode.kaywa.com</a>. To get a QR Code Reader for your smartphone, 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 – <a href="http://www.bit.ly" target="_blank">www.bit.ly</a>, it not a QR Generator, but rather a site to shorten a URL – similar to <a href="http://www.tinyurl.com" target="_blank">www.tinyurl.com</a> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>14.
