<h1>Featured Business<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Using her website as a template (<a
href="http://www.abel2manage.com/">www.abel2manage.com</a>), Tracy Abel gave a
presentation about her business, Abel Management. She noted that in these
economic times many companies and organizations do not have event planners.
While not “rocket science,” she added that she brings a great deal
of experience to all of the necessary planning details that are required to
make big events a success.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Some of these details include:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Tracy added that while she has experience with planning both
events and meetings, she prefers the latter because of their longer process,
“often a year in advance.” She also added that her company has been
greatly involved with various medical groups and associations that require
continuing education credits.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>She was praised for her work with promoting Stormy
Weather. Asked how Cannon Beach might better promote itself as a host
location for such things as continuing education seminars, Tracy said what
makes it difficult is the distance from an airport and transportation. She
said, though, “it’s doable, we just have to focus on it.” <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>3, Pia:
The building now housing the Coaster Theatre was built in 1924 as a roller
rink. Silent films were shown in the 20's and later on concerts were
performed on a makeshift stage in the middle of the rink. In the late 1960's
Portland State University started doing a summer series of plays on a stage
they built at the west end of the building, where the seating area is
now. In 1972 Maury Clark purchased the building and with architect Ray
Watkins they transformed the building into the theatre that it is to this
day. Around this same time the annual "Dickens Christmas Play"
became a community tradition, with townspeople dressing the part, and Jay
Schwehr taking on the role of the town's lamplighter, which he has continued to
do for over 30 years. The 80's saw the arrival of theatre director
Stephen Diehl and summer seasons presented by the Mark Allen Players from
Portland. During these early years, and through to the beginning of the
new millennium, Maury Clark continued to generously support the theatre.
Ticket sales in any regional or community theatre barely cover more than half
of the cost of operations, so Mr. Clark's support was crucial to the survival
of the Coaster Theatre.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>When
Maury Clark passed away, the theatre became a nonprofit organization with both
a board of Directors, and a Foundation Board whose task was to raise an
endowment for the theatre to insure its longevity. When Stephen left the theatre
in early 2002, Craig and Pia arrived and in 2003 they revived the idea of a
Summer Repertory Season of 3 plays rotating throughout the summer
months.....visitors to Cannon Beach could see any one of, or all three plays,
in a single week. A summer theatre camp for children was also introduced
and continues to grow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This
year a year-round educational theatre program is in place guided by Patrick
Lathrop, our Educational Theatre Director, who will be conducting workshops and
classes throughout the year, as well as our intensive 2 week summer camp.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
theatre operates with a minimal paid staff, and depends on the volunteers that
perform on the stage, work back stage and staff the front of house.
Ticket sales still provide little more than 50% of what is needed to keep our
doors open, the remainder coming from grants, donors, advertisers, generous
sponsors, and various fund raising programs. For $500.00, for example,
one can become a part of our "Take a Seat" program. You can purchase
a seat of your choice and a brass plaque will be placed on that seat with your
name on it or an inscription of your choice. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
theatre is happy to work with motels, hotels, restaurants, etc. to create
packages and arrange for group rates. Performances typically start at 8 PM and
end by 10 PM. Volunteers are always welcome and needed at the door, and
they see the show for free. The theatre does see a need for a
babysitting/kidwatching service that could be of benefit to almost any business
in town. For more info. visit www.coastertheatre.com<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Jeff: I came on as the Executive Director of the Chamber on September 4th to
help rebuild confidence and support. At that time there were 168 paid members.
Today there are 259. Before coming to CB, I worked in Portland as a Housing

using 18-hour days and involving 212 volunteers on “build day” on a
97-unit Arbor Glen complex. This project included a community garden and two “green”
playgrounds for the more than 200 children that live at Arbor Glen. It was
completed on my last day. I am currently working on an OPB style
sponsorship program for the Chamber and will likely be calling on each and
every one of you in the days ahead. I have been working with Nala of the
Haystack Rock Awareness Program and a good many others on Puffin Festival in
April around Earth Day to welcome the puffins back. Other things in the works
are a Music Fest (possibly folk) and a Literary Program replacing the previous
Haystack Program which involving Portland State University. This event will be
off-season. A few years ago, I made a trip to Tibet. My good friend Dr.
Celdedra Gildea started a program to help support a monastery of Buddhists
nuns. She asked me to join her on a trip to the monastery. It was a 5 week
trip, three days of which involved traveling in a 4 wheel drive vehicle along
narrow roads carved out of the mountainside – and through river beds
- just to reach the 15th century monastery. We continue to work with the
nuns on self-sufficiency projects and arrange food and supply runs up to the
monastery. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

George: There has been a request by one of the upcoming "Show &
Tell" businesses to have that WMM at their place of business.
Discussion followed and several people expressed their concern for
disrupting the continuity of having WMM's at the same location. Further
discussion was about changing the day or time of the WMM's on occasion. Again,
the consensus was to be consistent with the day, time and place of the
meetings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Any business with an idea or event to tie into the weekend is to let Gary

Carol: Gazette Show and Tell: Carol grew up in Portland and visited he
coast often with her family. Her husband Steve, from Nebraska, came to
Oregon for college and they met at that time. Steve is an old school
journalist, having worked in nearly all aspects of the business. Carol
earned a Arts Administration degree from Oregon State, then went on for
her Masters at University of Washington. She worked for the Portland
Opera in Marketing, set up the box office for the newly constructed Hult
Center in Eugene. She went back to Nebraska with Steve and they began
buying small community newspapers and eventually had 24 of them before
their four children (all currently attorneys) and 5 grandchildren pulled
them back to Oregon. They sold off some Nebraska papers and began buying
Oregon Coast papers. The Gazette was the first, followed by the Seaside
Signal and the Tillamook Headline Herald. The Gazette is published every
other week on Thursdays with a circulation between 2500 and 3000
depending on time of year. There are 6 or 7 other publication per year
including Stormy Weather Arts Festival, Spring Unveiling, Haystack
Holidays, etc. The focus is on community. Carol likes happy stories.

George: At yesterday's Chamber Board Meeting, it was decided to place a
1/3 page ad in the 2010-2011 edition of Oregon Coast Magazine's Highway
101 Mile by Mile Guide. This guide has a print run of 300,000 and is
distributed up and down the coast and throughout the state. It is hoped
that Cannon Beach businesses will purchase ads to create a full page or
even a Cannon Beach spread. The ad(s) will run next to Cannon Beach's
free mile marker listing. Contact Rob Spooner at robert@ohwy.com to
be included.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Tim: The Chamber Board also decided yesterday to allocate $2000 to an
overhaul on the Chamber website - www.cannonbeach.org (not to be confused
with www.cannon-beach.net). The site when completed in approx 6 weeks
will have a consistent look - like that of the front page now. Navigation
will be simplified with cascading menus to facilitate searches. At the
bottom of the cascading will be pages for chamber members with photos and
text and a link to their site. Tim's analogy is the iphone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

George: The Chamber is organizing committees and sub-committees for
events, projects, etc and is seeking volunteers. Sheets were passed

committees include Facilities, Marketing, Website/ Magazine, Events,
Sandcastle, Stormy Weather Arts Festival, Haystack Holidays, Bylaws and
Finance. If anyone could help out with any of these, even in a small way,
please e-mail chamberboard@cbor.us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

1. Margo and Paul Dueber talked and showed
big-screen slides (ala Tim Krupa) about their business. MAGGIE & HENRY is a
blend of the two original stores specializing in casual comfort for both women
and men. Lots of natural fiber product with a distinct leaning toward
“green,” striving to find the best of the best that will give you
great quality, forward yet casual fashion and, most important, garments that
you can truly relax in. The store is downtown in Sandpiper Square
(503-436-1718). The website and online catalog is at <a
href="http://www.maggieandhenry.com/">www.maggieandhenry.com</a>. Locals
receive a 10% discount. Everyone at the meeting was given a $10 gift
certificate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>2.
Last weeks meeting ended before everyone got to weigh in on how December and
2009 overall ended for their business. Once again, the general gist was that
December was better than last year when Portland was snowed in for two weeks,
but not as good as hoped for or as previous years. George reported that he
observed fewer people than ever (excluding those two weeks last December) for
December and tight money. 2009 matched 2008, which was a very disappointing
year. John said he has had several people ask him at his restaurant why there
are so few people in town – inquiring if CB does any promotion. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>3. Several
people in the meeting were present at the NWACT/ODOT meeting in Scappoose last
week. George reported that his take was that ODOT would like to do the road
surface lowering at the same time as replacing the old timber lining. If that
is something which will cause extended closure and therefore something which we
want to prevent, then we need to be diligent, as Jeff stressed. Patrick pointed
out that part of the desire to accommodate larger trucks is to have Hwy 26 serve
as an alternative to Hwy 30 in case of landslides or other closures – a
“redundant” route to 30. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>4.
Jeff: The first Business After Hours will be tomorrow (Thursday) at 430pm at
the Gazette office downtown above Purple Moon next to Morris’s Fireside.
Theresa says wine and snacks will be served. These business mixers are intended
to offer people the opportunity to learn about businesses in a social
environment. Next month will be at the Lodges at Cannon Beach, next to
Inn at Cannon Beach in Tolovana. All are welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Mushen has a special session scheduled for Wednesday January 20 at 9am at his
home at 148 E Van Buren St. Doug Barker will give a lecture on tsunami

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>7.
Patrick: Meetings are continuing as a 1% increase in the City’s Motel Tax
is discussed. Nothing is set yet, but a 5 person commission comprised of 3
people from lodging, 1 from the Arts and one from the public at large, is being
considered as the group who will administer the anticipated $300,000. This
amount is 70% of the $430,000 total. George said he would like to see the city
show its support for the business community, in light of the current prolonged
recession and the years that the city has not spent anything on marketing, by
devoting more than just the required 70% to marketing Cannon Beach. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>8.
BobNec: A source of financial support that has not been tapped as much it could
be is second home owners. Bill commented that second home owners have stepped
up to support the Food Pantry, which by the way is open every Wednesday. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>9.
Linda: Cannon Beach is not represented on the Clatsop County Commission on
Children and Families. It should be. This group is an advisory committee to the
County Commissioners. To apply to be on that board/commission, contact Linda at
503-440-3909 <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>10.
Stan: More marketing of Cannon Beach needs to take place. Stephanie
suggests “outreach” to new areas and publications by individual
businesses and as a whole.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>11.

Jeff, Tracy: Volunteers are needed to complete the events committees for 2010.
Tracy is looking for someone to chair the Stormy Weather Arts Festival. She
wants to see the Chamber hire an events coordinator as soon as funds allow. She
says events such as SWAF are too much for volunteers alone. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>13.
Jenee recommended that before hiring someone to do construction or repairs,
find out if they are members of NCBIA (North Coast Building Industry
Association). Her company Pearce-Sunnel is. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Jenee: Bob Mushen County Commissioner will begin January 12<sup>th</sup> with a
biweekly opportunity to air concerns and ideas. Alternate Tuesdays at 815am at
his home – 148 E Van Buren, Cannon Beach. Speakers will be there. Jan 12
– Mark Thompson, Business Counselor at CCC. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>3. Kevin
Magee and Meagan Hughes: Mo’s opened in Newport in 1946. There are now 6
restaurants on the Oregon Coast. Orders are still hand written and clipped up
for kitchen staff to fulfill – the old fashioned way. Mo’s Cannon
Beach has 52 tables. The seating and atmosphere is designed to accommodate
families. Senator Robert Kennedy, during his presidential campaign, ate chowder
at Mo’s and took some with him on the road. Mo’s is famous for
their clam chowder. 500,000 pounds are produced a year, some packaged and
shipped to grocery stores. Mo’s is community oriented, no charitable
request is refused. A drawing was held and three winners each received an item
of clothing from Mo’s gift shop, a gift certificate and a turkey. John
Sowa, Gary Hayes and Kathy Klezcek were the lucky winners. George pointed out
that among other distinctions; Mo’s has now hosted the WMM more than any
other venue. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>4.
Gary: Savor Cannon Beach plans are moving ahead. To be included in the

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>5. We
went around the room reporting on the state of the economy as experienced by
our businesses. Most people reported a December as good if not slightly better
than last December. All were quick to add that last December was a disaster
with the snow and ice that crippled Portland and the Coast Range for two weeks.
Some reported their worst December ever. Others reported that it was not bad at
all for them. Those who compared 2009 to 2008 made similar comments.<br>
6. Jeanie McLaughlin passed around a signup sheet
for a Spanish class to last half an hour each Wednesday following the WMM. The
cost is $10 per month. She needs approx 10 people. The class would go for 2
months. For details: 436-2412 or <a

Jeff Jewel: NWACT and ODOT will be holding a meeting tomorrow at 1:00pm. Among

Oregon Trucking Associations regarding the proposed scope of work on the Dennis
Edwards Tunnel on Hwy 26 between Cannon Beach and Portland. The meeting will be
held at the Scappoose Fire Hall, 52751 Columbia River Hwy (north end of town
just off Hwy 30). Anyone interested in attending please let Jeff know (<a

Margo, Tracy, Tim, George: The Chamber board met yesterday for its second and
last 4-hour Retreat session. Committees and Events for 2010 have been
