Just a few goodies this week--
  • Beverly Graham's farewell concert on Dec 28th at WICA. See below
  • We're going to have a morning meeting! Mark your calendars now--our next membership meeting (on Thurs, Jan 7th) will start at 7:30 am at Speedboat Pizza--details to follow next week!
  • The Board made a decision at our last meeting to reduce dues for nonprofit organizations to $25/year, effective retroactively for this fiscal year. This is the same fee structure we have for Individuals.
  • Quick update on the proposal for a Langley sign at 525 and Campbell Rd--I have met with the various players from Langley, the Port, and the drivers of the project.There is a lot of differing information flying around, but a meeting of all concerned parties is scheduled for December 30th at the Langley Chamber office. I have been assured by Commissioner Price-Johnson, Mayor Samuelson, and the Langley Chamber that we will work together to agree on a plan that benefits both Clinton and Langley.
That's all for now folks! Merry Christmas to all of you to whom it applies...and for all, good wishes to you and your families as you wind down 2009!

Beverly Graham, 12/05/09, Clinton Tree Lighting

Beverly will be moving off the Island to Abiquiu, New Mexico on Tuesday, December 29th.

A generous anonymous benefactor is sponsoring her impromptu Farewell to Whidbey concert at WICA on Monday December 28th at 7PM.

There is no charge for this event. Just her singing to us. She is calling it "Softly, as I Leave You".

Please spread the word to anyone you think might want to attend.

Reiki Body Work by Andrea Binder   
 
REIKI BODY WORK by ANDREA BINDER
 
New Chamber member Andrea Binder of Reiki Body Work is making a special offer to Clinton Chamber of Commerce Members. She is offering an
introductory session for $40 for first Reiki session. This is for people to come and see what this very relaxing, stress-releasing session is about. Wearing comfortable clothes and resting on a massage table, the client receives gentle adjustments to body. The session feels a lot like a soothing meditation or as if you've just finished a yoga class.
We can all use less stress in our lives and his sounds like a great opportunity to relax and rejuvenate.
