The Chamber membership sincere ly appreciates all community volunteers who contribute to the achievement o f joint goals for the Heppner area. While the Chamber would like to list everyone for all the year's activities, we've found it to be impossible. Volunteers for just the city's St. Patrick's event would take more than an entire newspaper page and the fear has been that someone would be forgotten. So, if your name was missing in last week's Gazette, it's not because you haven't volunteered your time and energy. You w ere reading a list o f the Heppner Chamber of Commerce members ex pressing appreciation for all of you. Working together for Heppner is what it's all about. Chamber Board o f Directors will be establishing the 1997 Chamber goals as directed by the membership on Friday, Jan. 10 at 10 a.m. one o f the main focuses for 1997 will be working with everyone to see that events and activities run smoothly through the Main Street renovation project occurring this year.
