Wendy/Carol/Lesle: A letter from Jim Entler, the director/instructor for CCC’s Small Business Management Program, stated that the Board has decided not to restructure the program after all. They were moved by those who spoke and wrote in favor of it. They need at least 20 new students per year for the program to continue. Lesle went on to say event though this College Program has been so valuable, the State’s Small Business Development Center has not fulfilled its role in helping business. </SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">6. George: According to a Feb 15<SUP>th</SUP> Daily Astorian article, two Senate bills being sponsored by Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, could change the uses for lodging tax dollars that fall under the current law’s strict definitions. The bills would allow cities and other collectors of lodging taxes to apply them to more general uses, if those uses can be tied to tourism. George and others expressed concern that if not for the current state requirement, none of the lodging tax dollars would be used for PR and that the proposed changes would result in no funds from any future increases being used for PR. BobNer suggested we invite Betsy to a WMM. George will contact her.</SPAN></P>

Last, she said she fielded a call from Trip Advisor asking if we would put the Travel Advisor logo on the bottom of our web site home page. That would get Cannon Beach a slot (in rotation with ???others) on their site for “best beach vacation home rentals”. Their home site gets 13 million hits/month.</SPAN></P>

The board has reassessed the chamber goals and priorities since the loss of the ED in December. One thing that came out of that process was decision to divide the responsibilities into three categories. First was administrative duties, and that interim slot has been filled by a current employee, Sharon Visser. Second component is web site maintenance, and work has been initiated to hire a vendor to complete needed web work. Third component focuses on membership relationships, which includes marketing, sponsorships, events, etc. A full search will be made for that person. Rich Mays is leading the search committee.</SPAN></P>

Thanks to the Chamber, Cannon Beach Vacation Rentals, Escape Lodging, Coaster Theatre, the lodging establishments who offered great packages and to all those who helped. Special thanks to Carol Knutsen-Hawes, who conceived and planned the event. George reported that the guest at Inn at Village Centre reported that it was a great event.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">5. Bob Neroni: Robyn Cannon is putting together a smart phone app for Pike Place Market. She is doing this with Sutro, a company who does this with travel writers for higher end destinations. The estimated cost for such an app is $40K. If all Cannon Beach businesses listed in the city produced map, paid equally, the cost would be $115 each. It would take approx 4 months to build the app. The app would allow users to download it onto their phones or pads (small fee $5 or less) and have GPS convenience to everything the app contained. For info that Robyn put together see <A href="http://www.cannon-beach.net/photos_cb/cbTravelApp/Cannon_Beach_Travel_App.pdf">www.cannon-beach.net/photos_cb/cbTravelApp/Cannon_Beach_Travel_App.pdf</A>. JeffT and GaryH pointed out that there are apps out there now that include Cannon Beach and that Google and current websites already include most of the information that would need to be gathered and maintained on an app. George agreed saying that even if the money challenge were overcome, it would be a major challenge to keep the app current and that you could not rely on participants to do that without having someone designated to verify that info is current and to solicit current info from participants. Malia thinks that smart phone apps will become the norm in the future just like websites are now. She thinks getting started with something, even if it is small, is a good idea. </SPAN></P>

Carmen Swigart/Aaron Meyer: Sea Ranch Resort presents Children’s Summer Music Camp 2011 with violinist Aaron Meyer and guitarist/producer Tim Ellis. Wed and Thur June 22 and 23 at Sea Ranch’s “Sundance Event Lodge”. Aaron is originally from Philly. His father was a classic concert violinist. Aaron came to Oregon to study at Lewis and Clark, but not music. He has since immersed himself in music. He is passionate about music education. He visits schools regularly. He has been doing a summer children’s workshop in Portland for years. His workshop is designed for 8 to 14 yr olds with or without music experience. The fee is $250 for two sessions/day for two days followed by a concert. Participants will learn how to write, perform and record their own original songs and make their own MP3. Each child creates a song, choosing all aspects of that song. The musical creations of each student are recorded. Aaron does an annual Holiday Concert and would love to bring a performance to Cannon Beach. Aaron treated us to a performance on his violin of an original composition – his first in 1996. <A href="http://www.aaronmeyer.com/">www.aaronmeyer.com</A>. </SPAN></P>
