Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Executive Director
During the annual Chamber luncheon, attendees were treated
to a surprise skit by Craig Stroebel and Monica Hunter,
accompanied by Pam Wunderlich. The topic was a tongue-in-
cheek "What is the Chamber" dialogue with songs written
especially for Heppner. Continually we are impressed by the many
musical talents of local folks in Heppner. What about a special
event just to honor and recognize local talent in the Willow Creek
Valley, maybe a talent show?
But, back to the Heppner Chamber of Commerce. What are we
about? It's the time of year when our board members devote a day
to setting goals. They look at what is working and try to develop
new ideas to continue fulfilling the mission: "a non-profit
organization dedicated to creating a positive environment where
business, community and people thrive." We try to accomplish this
mission in the following ways:
Ambassadors: a great group of volunteers who deliver packets
to area newcomers with area information and donated items from
local businesses.
Communication: the first Tuesday of every month is dedicated
to hearing from entities such as Chamber committees, Retail,
Legislative, County, City, Port, Medical, HCC, WCVED, Ranger
List, Extension, Schools, etc. This gives the 25 to 30 in attendance
a chance to ask questions and keep the lines of communication
open. The weekly Chamber Chatter also serves to inform, as well
as the Chamber presence on www.heppner.net
Economic Development: your Chamber continues to work
with and send delegates to Heppner Coordinating Council and
Willow Creek Valley Economic Development meetings to promote
and encourage new jobs and work on the strategic plan. Jobs mean
more dollars for schools, infrastructure, businesses, liveability. The
Chamber just prepared 50 large packets for the Army Depot to
encourage families to relocate in Heppner.
Events: the Chamber oversees Town and Country, Citizens
Awards, St. Pat's Auction and Parade, Celebrate Heppner, Rodeo
Parade, Christmas parade and reindeer visitation, Volkswalk, etc.
Information: the Chamber is always ready to assist people
traveling either through (or away) with informational materials
ranging from the Eastern Oregon Visitor Guide to Where To Stay
In Oregon to our local visitor amenities such as the museum, retail
brochure, RV park, TREO, Ruggs Ranch, Willow Creek Water
Park, etc. We also respond immediately with relocate packets.
Legislative: just returned from a trip to the Legislature for
Rural Oregon Day; will be scheduling conference calls with our
local legislators on a monthly basis; take stands when it is
determined that a measure would have detrimental or positive
effects on our ag and retail area, whatever the case mast be.
Main Street: the Chamber adopted the highway entering
Heppner through town to the fairgrounds and works with numerous
volunteers and the city to reflect community pride on a regular
basis but especially prior to our major visitor events. The tree
maintenance, Christmas lights and banners are a part of the total
picture.
Membership and Non-Dues Income: thanks to great volunteers
who assist in the Chamber activities by volunteering and to those
who invest in the Chamber through membership, we are able to
keep Chamber moving forward into the 21st century.
Retail/Promotion/Marketing: if businesses are not doing well,
this is reflected in all areas, so the Chamber strives to work with
retailers on marketing Heppner to one and all and bringing in
visitors as often as possible.
Seminars: we held an eastern Oregon Regional Training for
Chamber Executives and volunteer staff last May, which
introduced 40 some attendees to our community. We also co
sponsored an Internet training for businesses and individuals with
BMCC.
Youth: three representatives from Heppner High School attend
all board meetings and join in the decision making process. A
student reports on the first Tuesday of each month at the Chamber
meeting. A youth is honored at Town and Country. Chamber
participates in the School-to-Work program and this year will be
involved in the Eighth Grade Job Awareness Day.
The list goes on. That's just a bit of what your Chamber of
Commerce is doing and has been doing for 61 years. And we
couldn't do it without you and your energy. It truly takes a
community.
lone Youth Group plans

of Caring" to be held on Super
