Mission Statement<br />
The Chamber shall streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> identity<br />

community, enabling businesses to grow<br />
and prosper by serving as a unified voice<br />
and providing service to its membership.<br />
A <strong>Message</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Executive</strong> <strong>Director</strong><br />
“I would like a large<br />
with all of <strong>the</strong> toppings<br />
please...”<br />
I recently visited with one of our retail chamber<br />
members and we began a discussion about <strong>the</strong> value<br />
of chamber membership and how to some folks <strong>the</strong><br />
benefits may seem intangible.<br />
I know <strong>the</strong> value because our office is on <strong>the</strong> front<br />
line—<strong>the</strong> front line for those visiting or thinking of<br />
visiting Lincoln City, or those planning a move to<br />
Lincoln City, or a business who is thinking of opening<br />
a store in Lincoln City, or current citizens needing<br />
to find <strong>the</strong> business that <strong>the</strong>y just can’t quite remember<br />
<strong>the</strong> name but <strong>the</strong>y are next to… We answer<br />
thousands of questions each week ei<strong>the</strong>r through<br />
email, telephone calls, walk-ins, and yes, regular<br />
mail. And how do we respond We send <strong>the</strong>m to you<br />
The Business After Hours host for<br />
September, North Lincoln Sanitary,<br />
1726 SE Hwy 101 Lincoln City,<br />
have joined a campaign called ‘Can<br />
Cancer’ to help with costs beyond<br />
basic medical care for those battling<br />
cancer. Twenty five percent of<br />
those diagnosed with cancer lose<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir life savings trying to survive<br />
it. In its billing to customers,<br />
– our members.<br />
That is just ONE of <strong>the</strong> benefits.<br />
In this same conversation I appreciated how she<br />
broke down <strong>the</strong> value for her. She said, “Look, I’m<br />
a business owner. I need to look at every one of my<br />
expenditures, even chamber dues. So I broke it down<br />
by <strong>the</strong> month. I <strong>the</strong>n realized that my monthly chamber<br />
investment was equivalent to my favorite large<br />
pizza that I order once per month. Decidedly, put in<br />
that perspective, my return on investment is well<br />
worth it.”<br />
Thank you, Marcia Glenn, owner of Glass Confusion,<br />
for your continued support and offering one<br />
more perspective on <strong>the</strong> value of being part of <strong>the</strong><br />
Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce.<br />
Now, I’ll take what she’s having please…<br />

COUPONS CAUSE CONFUSION ON DISCOUNT SITES<br />
Dissect Deals Before Buying<br />
Lake Oswego, Ore.<br />
Daily deals on coupon marketing<br />
websites—like Groupon and Living<br />
Social—may seem tempting,<br />
but be wary: Not all discounts are<br />
delivered as advertised. While <strong>the</strong><br />
vast majority of coupon transactions<br />
connect reliable businesses<br />
with satisfied customers, Better<br />
Business Bureau warns that some<br />
companies don’t keep <strong>the</strong>ir end of<br />
The Lincoln City Chamber of<br />
Commerce is pleased to announce<br />
<strong>the</strong> addition of our long-awaited<br />
and brand new office manager,<br />
Linda (NONNI) Augustine, who<br />
joined our staff on August 1.<br />
“I’m Nonni, <strong>the</strong> new office manager<br />
for <strong>the</strong> Lincoln City Chamber<br />
of Commerce, very recently relocated<br />
<strong>from</strong> Portland. My background<br />
includes corporate training<br />
and retail hardware, with a very<br />
solid career in <strong>the</strong> printing industry<br />
as well. I believe that old adage<br />
‘nothing happens unless something<br />
is sold’ and, <strong>the</strong>refore, think <strong>the</strong><br />
Meet Nonni…<br />
good health of our local economy<br />
is of paramount importance. I am<br />
so pleased to work on its behalf. I<br />
have a lot of getting acquainted to<br />
do and look forward to meeting<br />
you all.<br />
“My fa<strong>the</strong>r bought a hardware<br />
store when I was seven years old<br />
and allowed me to earn my keep by<br />
dusting shelves for a nickel an hour.<br />
(I made a lot of money, too.) When<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r teens were getting summer<br />
jobs at <strong>the</strong> pool, my fa<strong>the</strong>r insisted<br />
I work at <strong>the</strong> store, saying, “Why<br />
would I pay someone else to do<br />
what you can do I want to keep<br />
<strong>the</strong> bargain. “Coupon marketing<br />
sites offer great incentives for consumers<br />
and new opportunities for<br />
local businesses,” said Robert W.G.<br />
Andrew, CEO of BBB serving<br />
Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington.<br />
“However, undisclosed restrictions<br />
and expirations can leave<br />
consumers feeling empty-handed.”<br />
To get <strong>the</strong> best deal possible, BBB<br />
suggests <strong>the</strong> following considerations:<br />
Quality: Check out <strong>the</strong> company<br />
before buying <strong>the</strong>ir coupons<br />
or Internet specials. Read customer<br />
reviews online and visit bbb.org.<br />
Cost: Take a moment to inspect<br />
<strong>the</strong> company’s website and regular<br />
pricing to see if <strong>the</strong> discount is really<br />
a deal. Timing: Some coupons<br />
can only be used on certain days or<br />
times. Review offers for expiration<br />
dates and fine print. All restrictions<br />
should be specified in <strong>the</strong> deal, according<br />
to BBB’s Code of Advertising.<br />
Convenience: Make sure <strong>the</strong><br />
coupon is easy to redeem. Find out<br />
where <strong>the</strong> company is located and<br />
its hours of operation. Usability: To<br />
avoid waitlists and long lines, it’s<br />
best to sign up or schedule services<br />
as soon as possible. When redeeming<br />
services, be prepared to provide<br />
proof of purchase or a confirmation<br />
code.<br />

as much money in <strong>the</strong> family as I<br />
can.” I got a very good grounding<br />
in business fundamentals and an<br />
unparalleled respect for <strong>the</strong> power<br />
of good customer service <strong>from</strong> my<br />
dad.<br />
“I have been attracted to <strong>the</strong><br />
ocean <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> first moment I saw<br />
it and knew that I wanted to live on<br />
<strong>the</strong> coast. Although jobs were more<br />
plentiful in Portland and that’s<br />
where my little family settled, I<br />
always expected to wind up on <strong>the</strong><br />
coast and now—here I am. I was<br />
attracted to Lincoln City because<br />
it appeared to be making progressive<br />
strides every time I would visit<br />
<strong>the</strong> coast. Some communities have<br />
remained <strong>the</strong> same for many years,<br />
but not LC. I also appreciated <strong>the</strong><br />
respect for <strong>the</strong> natural resources exhibited<br />
by local residents.”<br />
We’re delighted to have Nonni<br />
aboard. No doubt, you will meet<br />
and get to know her around town<br />
as she becomes acquainted with<br />
Lincoln City, but, in <strong>the</strong> meantime,<br />
stop in <strong>the</strong> office at 4039 NW<br />
Logan Road and say hello to our<br />
newest and much appreciated staff<br />

Standards Changing For<br />
Fluorescent Lighting<br />
(Information furnished by Pacific Power, August 1, 2011)<br />
<strong>New</strong> national efficacy standards for <strong>the</strong> manufacture of fluorescent<br />
lamps will take effect next July, and now may be an excellent time for<br />
businesses to upgrade <strong>the</strong>ir fluorescent lamps and ballasts while <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
still incentives. The Energy Trust of Oregon provides cash incentives to<br />
Pacific Power customers for <strong>the</strong>se types of upgrades, among o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
<strong>New</strong> federal standards have been enacted that will put an end to <strong>the</strong><br />
manufacture of T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts by July 2012, making<br />
T8 lamps and electronic ballasts <strong>the</strong> new standard. The newer technology<br />
produces better light with less heat, and requires little to no maintenance<br />
for up to 20,000 hours of operation. The new standards will help produce<br />
continued energy savings and reduce controllable operating costs without<br />
compromising lighting quality.<br />
In Oregon, Energy Trust of Oregon, Inc. offers incentives to Pacific<br />
Power customers. Businesses that convert now can take advantage of both<br />
<strong>the</strong> new technology and a bonus incentive. At some point <strong>the</strong> lower efficiency<br />
products will no longer be available in <strong>the</strong> marketplace, affecting<br />
supply and demand through 2012. Once T8s are standard practice, financial<br />
incentive may no longer be available.<br />
Take advantage of current incentives<br />
Energy Trust offers incentives <strong>from</strong> $10 to $42 per fixture on upgrades<br />
<strong>from</strong> T12s to T8 lamps with electronic ballasts. For a limited time, a bonus<br />
incentive of $5 per fixture will be added to <strong>the</strong>se standard incentives. Businesses<br />
that convert before November 1, 2011, can tap into <strong>the</strong>se additional<br />
funds and manage <strong>the</strong>ir upgrade on a schedule <strong>the</strong>y control.<br />

Leisure and Hospitality Industry Trends<br />
Oregon Labor Trends – June<br />
2011, says average employment<br />
in Oregon’s leisure and hospitality<br />
industry was over 170,000 in 2010<br />
and made up nearly 11 percent of<br />
<strong>the</strong> state’s covered employment.<br />
Payroll for Oregon’s leisure and<br />
hospitality industry in 2010 was<br />
nearly $2.8 billion.<br />
Food service makes up <strong>the</strong> largest<br />
segment of leisure and hospitality<br />
in Oregon with over 120,000<br />
jobs and 70 percent of <strong>the</strong> industry’s<br />
employment. The accommodations<br />
sector makes up 15% of<br />
Oregon’s leisure employment with<br />
nearly 25,000 jobs.<br />
Leisure and hospitality employment<br />
in Oregon reached its peak in<br />
August 2008 with 181,700 people<br />
employed. From that peak to <strong>the</strong><br />
most recent low in February 2010,<br />
leisure employment lost more than<br />
28,000 jobs, a 16 percent decline in<br />
18 months. In 2010, Oregon average<br />
employment in leisure and hospitality<br />
was <strong>the</strong> lowest it has been<br />
in <strong>the</strong> last five years. However, <strong>the</strong><br />
growth in seasonal jobs in 2010<br />
was much greater than in 2009<br />
when <strong>the</strong> seasonal drop <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
August summer high employment<br />
was just under 13,000 jobs.<br />
Tourism thrives in <strong>the</strong> summer<br />
months when visitors flock to Oregon’s<br />
many resort areas, especially<br />
<strong>the</strong> coastal counties, campgrounds,<br />
and recreational areas. Charles<br />
Kingsbaker, <strong>Director</strong> of Sales and<br />
Marketing for Central Oregon’s<br />
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY VACANCIES<br />
Black Butte Ranch confirms that<br />
like many of Oregon’s o<strong>the</strong>r tourism<br />
businesses, about 80 to 85 percent<br />
of <strong>the</strong> resort’s business occurs<br />
between Memorial Day and Labor<br />
Day. The Oregon wea<strong>the</strong>r is more<br />
cooperative during summer, inviting<br />
more outdoor activity <strong>from</strong><br />
According to <strong>the</strong> Oregon Employment<br />
ployment claims information, for<br />
claims where industry information<br />
is available, <strong>the</strong> leisure and<br />
hospitality industry had <strong>the</strong> fourth<br />
highest average number of claims<br />
in 2010 with 7,681. Construction,<br />
manufacturing, and retail trade led<br />
unemployment claims statewide<br />
residents and visitors.<br />

Weekly Business<br />
Tip <strong>from</strong> SCORE<br />
Chapter 0460!<br />
This Weeks Business Tip is: Prepare to Make Sacrifices. Starting<br />
a business is hard work, but after you open your doors, your work<br />
has just begun. In many cases, you have to put in more time than<br />
you would if you were working for someone else. In turn, you<br />
have to make sacrifices, such as spending less time with family<br />
and friends in order to be successful.<br />
