will make a presentation at the Town Photo June 11. See <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/pages/oht.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/ HCD/OHC/pages/oht.aspx</a></p>
<p>3. Officer Josh Gregory and Officer Devon Edwards made a presentation
on adding a K-9 Officer to the Cannon Beach Police Force. One function
would be performing positive community relations through canine
demonstrations. The canine would live and work with its handler - either
Josh or Devon - whichever is chosen after today's panel interview. The
canine would be trained in two specialities. 1. Detection (drugs). 2.
Search and Rescue. The canine would not be trained to apprehend and
therefore would not bite or chase - just smell and alert his handler.
K-9's are rewarded with a ball - not food. You can help with 1. A letter
of support, 2. Spread the word. 3. Supply equipment/services to start
and sustain the program (Veterinarian Dr Remensnyder is donating
services) 4. Donate money. Call or email Jason about donating to the K-9
Program. The program is now over a third of the way toward the $25K
goal .<a href="mailto:schermerhorn@ci.cannon-beach.or.us" target="_blank">schermerhorn@ci.cannon-beach.or.us</a>. <a href="tel:503-436-2811" value="+15034362811" target="_blank">503-436-2811</a>.</p>

please contact <a href="mailto:jim@cannonbeach.org" target="_blank">jim@cannonbeach.org</a>.</p>

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></p>
<p>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 <a href="mailto:gary@coastexplorermagazine.com" target="_blank">gary@coastexplorermagazine.com</a>.
