This gives all entities an oppor tunity to share priorities in their business, organization, govern ment, and chamber committees. Thoughts and ideas are exchang ed and I share these with you: Transient Room Tax: Chamber members are encouraged to at tend the April 13 city council meeting or write letters indicating their feelings on the issue. Tourism: the Morrow County Tourism Committee, along with the museum and chamber, is hosting a hospitality training workshop Monday, April 27. This training is open to all ow ners, m anagers, and em ployees in Morrow and Umatilla counties interested in putting the “ O h” in their business. It will be conducted by Janet Kerr Porter, state hospitali ty trainer. Cost is $5 and we hope that we will have as many local participants as are attending from Pendleton and Hermiston. Con tact the chamber office, John Ed- mundson, or Marsha Sweek for applications, due April 22 at the chamber office. Legislation: Chamber hopes to work jointly with the Republican and Democratic Central Commit tees to host a candidates fair, ten tatively scheduled for May 5. N on-dues Income: “ Everything is coming up roses” will have occurred by the time you read this and we hope you have a dozen roses. The support of this project is very much ap preciated. Two dozen roses paid for the postage on requested relocation and tourist informa tion, which chamber mailed out today. In addition to Oregon loca tions, responses went to Califor nia, Missouri, Georgia, Canada, Idaho, just to name a few. Some of these people stop by the office when they visit to say “ thanks.” St. Patrick’s Celebration: A wrap-up meeting was held with positive reports and the decision to hold our 1993 celebration on March 12, 13 and 14. We will try to have the Irish Singers and Dancers return, as it is important that we continue to share our Irish heritage through music and history. See letters to the editor for continued appreciation to our community. Sesquicentennial Celebration- Marsha Sweek encouraged one and all to make application or suggestions for the $10,000 available in Morrow County through the grant program ad ministered by the Oregon Trail Coordinating Council for a local heritage project. These projects can range from murals, statues, signage, historical performance, educational program, preserva tion projects, etc. The Oregon Trail Task Force Committee is particularly interested in lasting legacy projects with long-term results. Visit with Marsha and get a letter of request to her by May 1. Thousands of visitors are ex pected in 1993...the year of the Oregon Trail. Let’s be ready. Summer Program for Youth- the children and Youth Services are planning an intensive month long program for youth. They need input from cham ber businesses as to how they would like to participate in giving these 30 plus children a sense of community. Secretaries Day-Bosses are en couraged to invite their secretaries to lunch at chamber on Tuesday, April 21. Please be prepared to give a count at the April 14 meeting. Now I know why I don’t report on meetings more often. It makes for a very long chamber chatter. Chamber encourages you to join and be a part of the community decision making that is dedicated to creating a positive environment where people and businesses thrive. Thought for the week: Anger is a stone cast into a wasps nest.

Turner said that the Corps of Engineers has said that surveying will begin this fall with construc tion expected in March. Turner also said that the estimated cost has been reduced 25 percent from previous estimates from $1.2 million to $900,000. Actual costs will be less than that, added Turner, because the park district will complete the project itself, with in-kind donations and local contractors.
