Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Cham ber Manager
As the sun broke through to
melt the snow, 50 plus Chamber
members ventured out to attend
the annual Chamber o f C om
merce luncheon at the Episcopal
Parish last Tuesday. Kicking o ff
the event was music by “Flute Q.”
We hope the community will hear
more from these talented ladies.
You had to be there to get the
full benefit o f the "Gary Awards."
O utgoing Chamber president
Gary Marks honored a number o f
individuals instrumental in the
success o f the Main Street project
with “unique” awards, bringing
roaring bursts o f laughter from all
present. Also, more “kisses” (the
large chocolate kind) were pre
sented to some special people by
the Chamber director. It definitely
took a whole community to pull
it off.
The Chamber annual “Hats
O ff’ awards were presented by
in co m in g
p resid en t M ike
McGuire to Chamber members
Archie Padberg, and to Tom and
Jem Sly for making a difference
in Heppner through their out
standing volunteer efforts.
It was a lucky day for Ray
French, recipient o f the Lifetime
Achievement award. He also won
the Chamber member luxury va
cation tnp. The “hard hat vaca
tion” winner was Rick Paullus.
A reminder to all area citizens-
pick up a Chamber survey at the
Post Office, complete it and drop
it in the drop box provided. This
will assist the Heppner Chamber
in its 1998 goal setting on Friday,
Jan. 30.
Thought for the week; “May all
o f your troubles last as long as
your New Year’s resolutions.”
