m FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 12, 1995 Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager We human beings are often guilty of trying to control peo ple and things and begin to think we've succeded when all of a sudden we're given a needed reminder that some things are beyond our control. As experienced this week end, in just a few minutes, a storm can put many lives in turmoil. Friends traveling back to Seattle got caught in the hailstorm in Hermiston. Thank fully, they were safe, but their recently refurbished Volks- wagon Rabbit was the recipient of many large dents. Other than a yard full of debris, we were okay; how about you? The Main Street planters are looking good, thanks to Garden Qub members and the faithful water haulers up and down Main street. Stick your head in a door and say thanks. Heppner is certainly going to miss Jon and Marcia DeBo and their family. In two short years, they became a very big part of our community, serving on the Chamber Board of Directors, ci ty council, St. Patrick's Com mittee, chamber treasurer, etc. Losing these great volunteers and friends will be Heppner's loss and Silverton's gain. They know how to ''bloom where they're planted". The Chamber wishes them will. Chamber members will be boarding a bus next week for the annual "H O B O " tour rather than the usual lunch at the Elks. Members should meet at the Chamber Office Tuesday, July 18, at 9:45 a.m. The tour will include Finley Buttes, Capeco Housing, lunch at the Boardman park and Coyote Springs. Call 676-5536 and leave a message to reserve a spot and order your brown bag lunch by Monday, July 17.
