ODOT has approved the plant selection for the welcome sign near Forest Glen. The chamber agreed to pay $83.00 to Commonwealth for purchasing costs.

Jake gave an update on the water and power for the sign on the North End of town. He has been brainstorming with Day and Night Electric, PP&L and the property owners to come up with an affordable solution to the problem. Here is a rundown on the latest plan: The water will be provided by the Canyonville Fire Dept. which will fill it from the truck and refill as needed. The power will be provided by investing in a customer owned meter and reimbursing Raymonds mom for the actual usage. If the property sells the power arrangement will carry over to the new owner. Raymond's mom has not yet agreed, but is considering it.

The Christmas stocking was not ordered, so that fund-raiser will have to wait until next year.

The Canyonville Downtown Association will have it's first annual Holiday Celebration on Friday, Dec. 5th from 5-7pm. There will be a Frontier Santa, Tree Lighting and many merchants will stay open late.

The Canyonville Library will have a children's Story time on December 11th at 5:30. Elves will be present!

The Glenbrook Christmas Fair is this Friday and Saturday in Riddle.

Ad space is available in the Chamber Newsletter that will be mailed out in January. The size and price will be available at the next meeting. The money will go to cover the cost of printing and mailing.

The School Committee requests your participation in returning the surveys that were sent earlier in the week. They would like to have your input by the end of next week. There is a drop box at Umpqua Bank, Gordon's Pharmacy or City Hall.

The Lights in the park will be put up this Saturday at 8:00am. Please try to help, show up on the North end of the park at 8:00am.

The next meeting will be at the Creekside. That will be the last meeting of the year.
