Chamber of Commerce
members and others interested in
learning how Bums coped with
the loss of their lumber mill 10
years ago will be traveling south
this week to visit with a group of
people in Bums. When change
occurs, all avenues need to be
pursued to find the answers and
the Chamber of Commerce is at
work doing just that.
Legislative issues the Heppner
Chamber has been involved in
this year include opposition to
the breaching of the Snake and
Columbia River dams, support
of bringing the Pioneer train
service back to eastern Oregon,
opposition to HB2050, and
transportation issues.
Die Chamber also holds
monthly phone sessions with
Senator Ted Ferrioli and Rep.
Lynn Lundquist. Chamber Day
at the Capitol is scheduled for
Wednesday, April 28. Stop by
the
Chamber
for
more
information.
It's been requested by the Wee
Bit O'lreland St. Patrick's
committee that mention be made
in this column about the mystery
of the missing Irish flags. That's
right, the orange, green and
white ones that deck the street
during the annual celebration.
Seems that Gwen Healy made
about 24 of them and this year
only 14 were available when put
out; a week later 10 were left.
Now, the committee knows that
in the wee hours of the morning
some strange antics occur and
they are sure that by the next
afternoon some are wondering
how they came to be in
possession of an Irish flag
Should that be the case with
anyone reading this, or if a flag
is rolled up resting in a comer of
your establishment, please return
it to The Shoe Box where it will
be stored until 2000.
No
questions asked.
April 6, noon, Kate’s, is
Chamber's monthly all-entities-
report session. Come visit. We
invite interested persons to come
see what the organization is
about. An investment in the
Chamber is an investment in
your community.
Brnr. There are signs of spring
with daffodils, tulips and crocus
appearing through the snow.
Maybe by the weekend the sun
will shine. The Chamber of
Commerce wishes you a happy
Easter.
