Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Exec. Dir. At our “youthful” age, my husband and I tried tenting for the first time in our lives last week. And yes, our rain-weary audience will attest to the fact that we are still speaking, after set up and take down. A steady stream of rain on the roof lulled us to sleep, though eventually it resulted in a bit of a puddle inside after 48 hours. A good experience if you’re warm, dry and you don’t have to leave your bed for “other reasons.” It may be that walk at 3 a.m. with a flashlight or stepping out of bed into a pool of water that might cause some to lean toward a camper or a “chamber pot.” We shall see. ''" 'W here am I going with this? Truth is we tented only two nights and during our travels passed through a number of rural towns in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Differences in these towns seemed to be attitude. The smiles, enthusiasm, willingness to change could almost be ascertained by the look of the community. Curmudgeons didn’t achieve very attractive communities; they were too busy finding fault. What do we see in meetings, organizations and community events? The way people talk about each other, their leaders and their town has a huge impact on its success or failure. Food for thought is a quote I’d like to share by community development specialist David Beurle, “The reputation of a community and its people is largely shaped by the conversation that emanates from the community itself. If it is positive, you’ll get positive change; if it is negative, that’s how you’ll be known. Negative people take up so much energy and time and produce nothing.” W hat is H e p p n er’s “co n v ersa tio n ? ” Beurle suggests that new conversations in town about the future and what we love most about our community be created during meetings, lunches and coffee sessions. It might seem strange at first to some, but this type of conversation is Heppner’s language of success. Talk about vision, talk about what needs to be created, talk about what is good in Heppner, talk about how we want our community to be known, talk about how to make it more visitor friendly, talk about who we want to lead the charge and how we can help. A strong, positive local attitude and leadership is critical to economic and community success. Let’s write our story and make it happen. Value the old yet attract the new. Though for the week: “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes to us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.” 2nd Annual fund Raising Dinnei What could be better than spending a beautiful morning out on the trail in the company of other horse e n th u siasts and then returning to a hearty meal?
