assemble Pendleton’s priorities

committee includes represen-
tatives from the Round-Up
Association, the arts community,
the Pendleton Chamber of
Commerce, the Umatilla County
Board of Commissioners, Blue

Turner and the committee
will spend the ensuing months
presenting the priority list to
community organizations like
Altrusa and Pendleton Rotary
Club and the general public.
He plans to use the input at the
meetings to cull the list to three
or four priorities to be adopted by
the council in January.
