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.”
