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.

</p><p>
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.
</p><p>
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. <cite></cite>

9. CarrieP: Cannon Beach Magazine is now taking ad
commitments for the 2015 Magazine. Save 5% by reserving your space by
