This Week Around Town…
2012 Chamber Business Directory
We are now in the proofing stage of the 2012 Directory.
The Chamber office will have a hard copy for you to view your
listing or ad before it goes to print.

We will have the hard copy here January 21st -
January 27th. Our Current Office Hours are 9am-4pm
We encourage you to stop in and take a look at your
listing and/or ad in the directory. The Chamber staff
will be proofing as much as we can.

It will go to print as soon as we give Northwest
Connections the go ahead.
We should have the new directories by the end
of January or first of February. We will then distribute
them at the Chamber Office and Visitor Center, Fred
Meyer, Joe’s Donuts, Clackamas County Bank and
City Hall. If you would like a small quantity to
have at your place of business, please let us know.
You are more than welcome to pick some up
at the office.

We thank all who placed advertisements this
year to help us put the new directory out.
