Chamber Chatter
By Cliudii Hugh«», Chambor Managor
Now here’s a puzzle for you.
Who has keys with a green
shamrock and accuses a
leprechaun of hiding them every
other week, which causes said
person to drop by every business
in town looking for them? Last
Wednesday those keys appeared
in the ignition at 7:30 p.m. after
she had waited for her husband
to drive 16 miles to bring
another set.
There's more to the story but it
won't be read here. Could be the
answer is "desserts" spelled
backwards and said person plans
to deal with that during an R &
R to the coast next week.
The newest Chamber of
Commerce member is Dennis
Wall, Custom Leather Goods,
located where Tom's T.V. used
to be. Welcome, Dennis.
Wanted: a paddy wagon driver
for lone's 4th of July celebration.
Leprechauns would be welcome,
too. Just an opportunity to have
fun and make some new
memories.
If you haven't called in to sign
up for the June 24 Chamber tour,
grab the phone and call 676-
5349. There just may still be
space to visit Potlatch and the
Umatilla Depot tomorrow. The
more the merrier.
Next week at Chamber:
Delanne Ferguson will give
attendees an update on Heppner
Ranger District activities and
recreational opportunities in the
area. That will move us right
into July for a first Tuesday
community update; then on July
13, Brad Smith, CenturyTel and
Ed Struthers will address some
Internet, fiberoptic questions and
walk us through the office. See
you at Kate’s, noon, Tuesdays.
Thought for the week: "A good
friend is one who knows all your
faults and still likes you."
