style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Mark .. Thanks for the quick reply and for
the service you and the board give voluntarily. The board has to decide what
path the Chamber will take. These are my opinions, based on my experience and
my contacts in this community. Please consider what I have to say. Seems to me
that the board, “having a lot on our plates” could use help now
rather than later. Timing is important. 33 people were at wmm yesterday. Summer
is coming. Now is the time to get people involved. If the board insists on
keeping everything to themselves, then in the eyes of the membership nothing
has changed, except now we don’t have a director. Re-organization (getting
committees working, getting volunteers working) should be thought of as a
solution, not a problem – as a way to ease the load, not increase it. What
are the “particular tasks” that the Board has to accomplish? Why
would the Board not want the membership to be part of accomplishing these tasks?
The Chamber has a unique opportunity to pull people in right now, new people
too. A very broad base approach involving as many people as possible could pay
off very nicely for the Chamber and the community. This is a time to reach out,
not pull in. What do you think? Thanks for considering my ideas. .. George</span></font></p>

George,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your support and your suggestion. There may be a need for
another community meeting in the following month or so but to be frank, we have
a lot on our plates with the transition as it is right now. I don't want
to come across as unresponsive but the Board has some particular tasks to
accomplish regarding the continuing operation of the Chamber without a Director
before we jump into "re-organization". The meeting a couple
weeks ago was extremely helpful and I took away much more than folks venting.<br>
I wish I could be present at next week's Wednesday meeting but that is our
Board meeting date. I believe the WMM is on our agenda at the request of
Tracy Abel.<br>
I can say right now that I share your vision of utilizing committee's and
volunteers to much greater advantage and that is part of my personal vision to
implement in the following weeks at the Chamber.<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
Mark</span></font></p>

not an easy thing for you. I wish it could have ended some other way for Kim,
but I agree with your decision and your statement. I look forward to working
with you and the board to get the Chamber on track to serve the business
community and those who see the value of a viable business environment for
Cannon Beach. May I suggest another town meeting. The last meeting was more of
a venting with general solutions being suggested. Now we need an organizational
meeting with people signing up for specific tasks and committees. It could be
billed as a Re-organization Meeting. I think the sooner the better. There is
energy out there now. We don’t want it to dissipate. It certainly
could be held at the Chamber, but I think the Coaster Theatre would be a venue
that would be completely neutral and would add to the importance of the
meeting. Thank you. .. George</span></font></p>

to current economic conditions, the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce Board of
Directors has opted to sever their relationship with Executive Director, Kim
Bosse’. While recognizing Kim as a dedicated employee for the past 9
years the Board feels that these unique times offer no other ready solution to
the current issues facing the Chamber. The Chamber of Commerce will
continue to operate and provide all membership services and events as
scheduled. Board Members and Committees will assume all responsibilities
previously held by the Executive Director for the time being.
Bosse’ will be available until April 14<sup>th</sup> to
conduct any unfinished business. For any further information please contact
President Mark Piscitelli at 503-436-2623 or by email at <a
