so that when you get out
away from our little area
you can still have access to
your accounts. So not only

working hard to earn your banking business, its easy to see why
Bank o f Eastern Oregon is the bank o f choice for the people o f our area.

There are other reasons that being a truly local bank makes a huge
difference for the residents o f Morrow and G illiam Counties. The
Bank o f Eastern Oregon has provided employment, paid property taxes,
paid employment taxes, and assisted in the funding o f countless local
projects and charities for w ell over 50 years.
Does being local and committed to your community make a difference to
you when you shop for banking services? We hope it does. Does Anita's
commitment to you as a customer make a difference? She hopes it does.

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes. Chamber Manager
If the sun doesn't come out
tomorrow, you may see me
hitchhiking south. Heppner
needs a big dose of sunshine and
humor...some warm fuzzies. It's
time to let go of cold pncklies.
Some good comes from all
things: we now understand our
neighbors better; we learned our
weaknesses and are discovering
how strong our ability is to
forgive and forget; we learned
that some of the best intentions
can be squelched; we learned that
ownership of projects
is
important as well as the need for
complete honesty in presenting
the facts; we learned that citizens
do
not
necessarily
feel
responsibility for rehabilitating
or housing those who commit
crimes; we discovered that those
who often need to be heard,
aren't for various reasons; we
learned about strength in
numbers; we learned about all
sorts of personalities; and we got
a strong reminder that commerce
is an often misunderstood word
Webster defines commerce as
trade, business, commercial
pursuits, industrial activity.
Chamber of Commerce then
means a group of people brought
together to promote the business
of the community; to assist in
creating an environment where
business, community, and people
thrive.
If you are in the farming or
ranching business, then you
know the selling of your product
is crucial to the cash flow. When
there is an overabundance of
wheat or cattle, the market goes
down.
By the same token, Hpppner's
local businesses rely on selling
their merchandise to stay in
business. When the big chain
stores are running competition
with local businesses, business
drops. To support retail, there has
to be people. To supply people,
there has to be commerce and
industry, so that enough local
people are working, shopping,
and investing in their community
right in their home town.
Increased jobs mean more
business, more stores, more
support for local projects. It is
said that a dollar spent at home
turns over seven times before it
leaves. While we are most
fortunate to have a quality of life
brought on by many volunteers
working
on
community
development projects, that very
quality can be lost without
commerce. It takes financial
security to fund pools, arenas,
events, museums, schools. It
takes
small
businesses
succeeding and turning the dollar
over at home.
In the very near future, a study
will be done to identify sites and
business potential for the Willow
Creek Valley, no easy task. It's
time for brainstorming. It's time
to assist the Willow Creek Valley
(Chamber, Heppner Coordinating
Council, Heppner Economic
Development
Corporation,
ICABO and the communities) in
job and additional housing
creation. We have the energy to
find a solution together. Warm
fuzzies beat cold pncklies any
time...and some sunshine would
help too.
Thought for the week: "We can
only move forward if we look
together in the same direction."
