Marketing Meeting Update

Present: Pam L., Dan Barzee, Joanne Gordon

Javelin dropped off copy of bike path plan from 1999.

Reported shopping bags are ready and Letter of explanation about the bags being sent to chamber members.

Business of the month: there were three nominations. These will be presented to the general chamber meeting with the recommendation they are put in a "hat" and the winner will be drawn. The remaining 2 will be kept for August's drawing. This method will be in effect until enough nominations are received showing a definite winner.

Canyonville Calendar fund raiser report: Cost to create will be about $6.00. It was presented and generally agreed that postcards could be a more effective way to go. Less expensive to produce and perhaps more sellable. Packs of 50 to sell to businesses.

Idea discussed:

Have a "News Article Gathering". The idea being to create several short news releases about Canyonville to be submitted to the Local Papers on a regular basis. One press release idea is "volunteers needed" for helping with marketing, mainstreet Canyonville, etc.

Pam L. & Joanne will contact Patti Perry about advertising the Pumpkin Celebration as KLCC is announcing the 150th Party in the Park.

Next meeting: July 17, 8:15 Chamber Information Center

Contact Joanne with corrections & questions.
