Chamber valuable to community
Following is a continuation o f
Heppner's Chamber o f Com
merce. Part one was printed in
last week’s Gazette-Times.
Heppner Chamber of Com

the first time this year; held phor.-

during chamber; had visits from
Smith. Faw bush, H atfield,
Timms, etc.; participated in call
ing committee to educate the
public on Ballot Measure 5; and
brought current issues affecting
our community to the attention of
chamber membership.
Many educational programs
were held throughout the year.
Chamber worked with Small

and all local and county entities
to keep members aware of cur
rent activitied through programs;
held tours with the Forest Ser
vice, Kinzua, Port of Morrow,
CRP, W aste M anagement

everything from Economic

Many chambers require this as a
pre-requisite for employement.
Youth are the future and
chamber encourages updates on
the Morrow County School
systems and working with the ad
ministration and staff on projects.
Members sold 260 dozen roses
to supplement chamber income.
Chamber appreciates the com
munity’s support of this project.
Their other non-dues income is

Chamber chairs this annual auc
tion and realizes 25 percent of the
proceeds. An event still in the

Chamber members worked
with the M orrow County

up a booth at the county fair.
Members and the manager are
active with the Morrow County

events as well as to Oregon

etc. Chamber has hosted two
FAM tours, with tour operators

When the manager attends
Oregon Chamber Executive

Alaska) conferences she takes a
basket of promo materials to in
troduce people to Heppner's of
ferings. Anyone going to con
ferences is encouraged to stop by
the office for inform ation
packets.
A promotional article was
published in the Oregon

The chamber office is also here
to serve the community. The of
fice gets lots of requests on
relocating, real estate, tourist re
quests, students doing school pro
jects, motels, schools, medical

ed in the past year.
Lots of questions are also

events, do you have a motel,
when is St Pat’s, fair and rodeo,
what banks are in Heppner,
where would be a good place to
hold a conference, to eat, where
can you camp, when’s the golf
tournament, what is there to do
in Heppner. what is your popula
tion, please send 100 brochures,
and the list goes on. A list of

Commerce is just a phone call
away from answering any ques
tion. Lobbyist is available.
Concern loans for students of all
ages are available to all Chamber
members through the U.S.

One goal of the chamber is to
promote good working relations
among city and county govern
ment, Heppner Ranger District,
HEDC, Heppner merchants, the
school district, ICABO. Board-
man and Irrigon Chambers, Port
of Morrow, Senior Citizens. Park
District, agriculture, and health
services. Working together
chamber can meet the challenges
for the future of the community.
“ The past gives us history but it
has to be put in perspective.
Unless we can lay personal con
flict aside there is no forward pro
gress. Chamber would like to
“ work with you in ‘92’’’ so
Heppner will not be left behind
as another ghost town of rural
America," says Claudia Hughes,
chamber manager. “ Working for
you in ‘92” , we invite you to
become a member. There is
strength in numbers and we need
your positive attitude and creative
ideas for your community,” con
