Paper
Happy New' Year. 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.
No Chamber Tuesday, Jan.
14. Come instead to the Town
and Country luncheon Wed
nesday, Jan. 15 at the Elks
Lodge. Everyone is welcome.
Keynote speaker will be Ron
Daniels. The "Hats O f f award
will be presented and officers
will be installed. At 1:30 p.m.,
a panel will discuss Corral
1000, a plan to corral urbanites
to understand our rural life
style. This is a true town and
country topic...an opportunity
for both the ranchers, fair and
rodeo and the Main Street
merchants to benefit. See the
community bulletin board at
Central Red Apple for full
schedule o f events.
Banquet tickets w ill be avail

Hill, is a humorist and agri
culture advocate. Come, enjoy,

pients o f Man, Woman, Busi

Thought o f the week: "The

sources are unused talents and
