GeorgeV:<font> With the holiday season fast approaching, the CB Academy Fundraising Committee is working on a</font><font> community Christmas Party. We have secured a location, date and time and have</font><font> begun working on the details. The party will be Sunday December 14 from 1-230p.m. at</font><font> The Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce. Finger foods, drinks and craft</font><font> activities from 1-2p.m. At 2p.m. - a community sing along and The Cannon</font><font> Beach Fire Department will bring Santa at 2:15p.m. Informational Flyers will go up</font><font> around town this weekend. Do attend and please let others know,</font><font> especially anyone with children</font>. </p><font>The Cannon Beach Academy has opened a restricted escrow account at</font><font> Columbia Bank. The restricted account is important because it will allow donors who</font><font> are ready to write checks to do so knowing that their money will be secure and not used</font><font> until there is an approved charter. Additionally, should the charter school not open, the</font><font> money will be returned to the donors from this account. The Board feels this will help us</font><font> acquire start up funds in the bank, which will address a major concern that the ODE</font><font> Review Committee expressed. Donors who wish to give money to use now may</font><font> also make donations to a general fund. This money goes into another bank account</font><font> at Columbia Bank and this money is used for any operating expenses </font><font>now while working on the charter. </font><p>12.
GeorgeV: Stay tuned for details about a CB Academy benefit at George Vetter FotoArt. Besides 50% of all sales of George's photography, 50% of works brought in by others will also benefit the Academy. Please let George know immediately is you have works of art that you would like to include in this benefit affair. Stephanie at Primary Elements has already stepped up. Don't hesitate - this needs to happen soon - George needs to turn the premises over to the Ocean Spa. <br></p><p>13.
