Topics covered:
The Christmas lights will be installed tomorrow morning. Jake, Chuck, Joy, Brian and Pam will meet at Jake's today at 3:00 to help with set-up. Javelins son Tanner will join us after school.

There was a miscalculation with the light bulbs and we will need $1300 to complete the lights. This will be postponed till next season. In the meantime some of the decorations will have mixed bulbs.

The lights will be put up in Pioneer Park on Sat. Dec 6th. If you can help contact Jake (839-4125) for details.

The Boy Scouts have 4 flags left in the holiday flag program. To have a flag in front of your business the cost is $25.00 per year and they will hang the flag at your business on national holidays.

Bruce from Commonwealth Garden Shoppe is still working on the solar electricity. We should be able to conceal the solar panel in the water barrel.

Upcoming Events -
  • Festival of Trees at Seven Feathers kicks off Dec. 3rd.

The marketing workshop date is confirmed for January 14th at 6:30. The cost will be $15.00 per person and is open to everyone. Please mark your calender and plan to be there. Further details will be presented in December.

Pam talked about the Downtown Holiday Celebration that will be on December 5th and is sponsored by the Canyonville Downtown Association. Doug Sales (Ken's Sidewalk Cafe') will be coordinating the tree and donations are needed to help offset the cost of the tree and lights.
