Wayne visited some local businesses and asked a few questions to gauge the community on what they think the Chamber does for them or is beneficial;

Questions were- Are you a member of the Chamber?  What do you think the Chamber does for the community:  How do you think the Chamber can improve? What events would you like the Chamber to do?  Wayne will put together a presentation that will be delivered at the Chamber General meeting on May 23, 2017 @ 6pm at the Community Baptist Church.

Other presenters at the General meeting will be Kevin Miller on the new Strive for 5 and the new bond.

The Chamber will now have an Ad in the Roseburg Visitors Guide; the cost was significantly reduced to allow us to participate.  $330 for the year.

Edie Young has requested the chamber to purchase a piece of equipment for the park for ages 5-10 would be most helpful.  This is tabled until we figure out expenses associated with the update to Kyham.

4^th of July committee has requested donations for the fireworks again this year; sandy motion that we continue with our regular $1000 donation to the fourth of July fireworks; all approved.

Bids for Kyham from Knife River Asphalt $8700 and concrete at $6200, Mandy will reach back out to Tom at Knife River for clarification on the concrete bid since it doesn’t specify that removal and installation are included; will also ask about Stamped Concrete.  Couple of Names provided are Mike Smith 541-643-8473 & Bobby Geyer.  Mandy will gather more bids from different contractors and electricians and put this in motion to hopefully have completed in June.
