SAGE CENTER’S
FROZEN EVENT
Do you love the outdoors and want to
share your passion with others like you?
Do you love Boardman and Morrow County
and feel like you could really “sell” the
outdoor recreation we offer? If you
answered ‘yes’ to both of these questions,
you are exactly who we are looking for.
The 2015 Tri-Cities Sportsman Show will
be January 16th-18th at the TRAC in
Pasco. We are looking for volunteers to
spend a few hours at the chamber’s booth
sharing information about all the wonderful
things to do in Boardman. For more
information and to sign up for a spot,
contact Amber at 541-481-3014 or email
amber@boardmanchamber.org
.
Volunteering your time will get you free
access to the show!

BOARDMAN’S 2015
BUSINESS & VISITOR
DIRECTORY
We are in the process of designing our
award winning 2015 directory. If you would
like the opportunity to get your business
name out there to over 3000 community
members and tourists, the time to act is
NOW. We have several advertising
opportunities available. Contact the
Boardman Chamber now to reserve your

CHAMBER LUNCH PRICE
INCREASE
After months of negotiating with our valued
caterers to keep lunch prices low enough
to maintain the Chamber’s long-standing
lunch price of $10, the need to increase
this monthly cost can no longer be averted.
Effective immediately, the cost for all
monthly luncheons will be $12 for lunch
attendees. For those who are purchasing
prepaid lunches, the cost will remain at
$120 for 2015. We sincerely regret any
inconvenience or hardship this may cause
our members and guests. As always, we
appreciate your continued support.

Happy 2015! The New Year always
brings us a time of renewal and
planning...and also the dreaded or not
so dreaded resolutions. As your
Chamber of Commerce plans for a
new year, I would like to encourage
you to set a not so dreaded resolution
for yourselves and your business this
year. Each month, we hold a monthly
membership luncheon at the Port of
Morrow. These luncheons feature
time to network with local business
members and listen to great speakers
addressing the economic, political and
social issues of our community and
region. In recent months, attendance
at these lunches has decreased. A lot
of times I hear the familiar excuses of
not wanting to take time away from
work or simply forgetting the lunch all
together. Let me offer you a few
reasons why you should be attending
our lunches;
1. Receive first hand community
information on subjects vital to your
business.
2. Be informed on local issues that
affect your business.
3. Network with local business and
community members about topics
important to you.
4. Gain knowledge about new insights
and listen to informed speakers.
5. Understand the local resources that
can increase your company’s image,
branding, and influence on the local
business sector.
6. You get to eat a great meal with
great people!
I hope to see you all at out monthly
luncheons in the year to come. We
have new and exciting things to share
with each other. Make some time to
visit us and lets do lunch in 2015!
Regards,
Respectfully
Anna Browne
