Chamber of Commerce News From the Office of the Executive Secretary: As was recently Haskell Osborn has been appointed to serve as Executive Secretary of the Nappanee Chamber of Commerce. He accepted this responsibility with some reluctancy due to a pre-planned travel schedule which will take him out of town for limited periods of time each year. However after discussing this problem with the Board of Directors he agreed to accept the appointment until someone can be found to take the position on a more permanent basis. The main factor that influenced him in accepting was the hope that he could render a worthwhile service to the Chamber and through it to the city of Nappanee. • On studying the situation as he tried to become familiar with the position he found that one of the most urgent heeds was that of establishing a more or less regular line of communication between the office and the chamber members. With no secretarial help and no workable duplicating equipment the publication of a bulletin, the method commonly used to take care of a situation of this kind, seemed out of the question. In discussing this problem with Mr. Nichols the suggestion was made that this area of communication might well be established through a bi-monthly column in the loeal paper. Being very sympathetic with the problem and the need Mr. Nichols very generously agreed to provide space in the paper for such a column. With his help and advice we hope to make the column both interesting and informative. k It is generally agreed that the Nappanee Chamber of Commerce, along with other civic and political bodies, faces a real challenge as it prepares to function as a constructive force in helping to chart the course that the city of Nappanee will and should follow in the decade of the 70’s. The Chamber Board of Directors is giving serious consideration to how it can and should meet this challenge. With this in mind it has agreed: 1. To reduce its number of standing committees, consolidating the many areas of responsibility formerly carried by a large number of committees into the hands of seven committees.

2. To revise and bring up to date the by-laws under which it op?rates. 3. To establish a closer working relationship with the City Administration. I '■ 4. To establish a more clear cut understanding with the Retail Merchants Association regarding areas of common interest and concern so that the two organizations can most effectively work together for the good of all. 5. To expand its membership so that more people can! be involved and so that it can have a larger base from which to operate. These and other considerations of the Board will be further explained and expanded upon as more attention can be given to them. The new Chamber of Commerce brochure should be* ready for the printers within the next week or ten days. The fact and information sheet to go with it is in the process of being written. At the last Board of Directors meeting the point was made that c-mo r,f the Chamber members prefer to pay their membership fee ueiore the close of the old year for tax purposes. So that those who wish to do this may do so the Board instructed the Executive Secretary to send Qut the membership fee statements for 1970, on or about December 15, 1969. The Board instructed the Executive Secretary to express its thanks to Ellis Hunsberger who donated several hours of his time to testing and repairing the Christmas street decorations. It also voted its thanks to tire many others who donated time and equipment

The Board is giving consideration to a proposal that all Chamber of Commerce operations be placed on a calendar year basis. It has been pointed out that having the membership year on a calendar basis and the fiscal year on a July 1 to June 30 basis is creating a number of problems and some confusion. Please make any suggestions you might have now or later regarding what should be covered in this column to President File or the Executive Secretary. Its only purpose is t make the work of the Chamber of Commerce more vital and productive in the future growth of Nappanee.
