I can not believe I have been here 6 months already! I have learned so much and met with so many people! Everyday presents a new challenge or question to be answered. We really do have a great community and I love promoting all the positive things everyone is doing. I went to my first county wide chamber director/main street director/t-bid director meeting on Tuesday in Eureka. It was great to meet others in the county who have the same job as I do and make those connections. We had speakers representing Humboldt County Restaurant Week . They are working on organizing the 3rd annual event, which I would love for us to be a part of! It will be Sept 26-Oct 5, 2014. Not only will this benefit our food service members, but I am hoping to fill some hotel rooms and get people shopping as well! If you would like to participate fill out the form below and I will get more informatin out as it becomes available. I am continuously stocking brochures and information in our office. If you have cards or fliers representing your businees that you would like me display, simply dro pthem off. I have ordered a new business card holder for the office, as the one we have only holds 6 sets of cards, and I would love to fill it up! I am also sending brochures and Visitor's Guides out to other Chambers and Visitors Bureaus that request them. If you have anything to add to our newsletters, please email it to me chamber@garberville.org. Have a great day!

Dazey's Motorsports has a new manager! Welcome! Dazey’s Motorsports Yamaha on Sprowel Creek Rd. is under new management. Dazey’s Motorsports and Dazey’s Supply would like to welcome Jeremy Kanter. Jeremy was recruited from Harley Davidson in Colorado. He has been in the motorcycle business for 23 years and is known for bringing money back into the local community and hiring and supporting local families. In the past he has directed thrilling motorsports events that help to stimulate the local economy. Planning is currently underway to bring some exciting new events to Garberville within the next few months. Dazey’s Supply/Motorsports has found a diamond and is thrilled to bring Jeremy on as the shop manager. He is a working man, who is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Jeremy brings with him his wife Kay and 2 young children. “Our family loves Humboldt County. We will raise our children here for generations to come.” Kanter says. Jeremy moved his family from across the country and is completely committed to make Dazey’s Motorsports a successful thriving business. Dazey’s Motorsports has undergone an entire facelift in all departments. “We are focusing especially on our service department. We understand the importance of getting repairs completed quickly and professionally. We have had some challenges in the past, but are more committed than ever to give excellent customer service and quality products and repairs.” When you come into the Dazey’s Motorsports you will find a new fresh look. Come on into the store and introduce yourself. We have focused on bringing in fresh new inventory and you might be surprised to know we have all of the latest fashions.

We plan on communicating regularly with the Chamber of Commerce, to circulate our information with the community. Thanks for “keeping it local” and letting us help you will all of your generator and motorsports needs. Facebook Offers Many of you are on Facebook or other types of social media. I wanted to share with you some success that one of our members, King Range Books, has had recently with offereing promotions and sales on Facebook. Owner Evan, not only posts regularly about his inventory and new items, but also uses "offers" through his FB page that anyone can use. Such as "3 DVD for $10 Offer" and many others. It is easy to do! Where you normally begin a new post on your page (not on "home" or "newsfeed") click on the offer and create your own ad! If you need assistance, we can help you out! The Inside Scoop on Coffee Prices I came across this on Facebook today and just wanted to share the information with our membership. It is great to have local insight on a commodity that so many of us take part in! Clickin gon their name below will take you to their Facebook page or visit www.signaturecoffeecompany.com. Signature Coffee Company COFFEE PRICES SOAR: The coffee market is the most volatile market traded, and it doesn't always make sense. Yes, there is a potential drought in Brazil, the world's largest coffee supplier - but even if this resulted in a 10% reduced crop - the market price increase has already covered this shortage. What happens now is that market traders and speculators that have no clue as to anything coffee will be playing the market and driving prices higher. Hopefully the market will correct itself sooner rather than later. Signature Coffee hopes to ride this one out without raising our prices... Merchant's Guild We are happy to announce that we have filled the MG Maintenance Supervisor postion! Rick Ruiz will begin working with us next week. He is a longtime local and comes highly recommended. Rick brings some great skills, experience, and energy to the job! Thank you to all who contribute to the Merchant Guild! Tree Trimming A big thank you to Rotary and Soroptimist for getting the trees in Garberville trimmed and cleaned up! Recycling In Town For the past few months our recycling in town has been collected and dealt with by local resident Robert and his daughter Maria. They are doing an excellent job! They regularly go through and collect the recycleables out of the cans, wash the cans if needed, and do any maintenance on them. They are doing this as a free service to the community. Their benefits come from turning in what they get at the recycling center. Although the amount of trash in the recycling bins is getting better they would like to remind everyone to please keep it separated. If you would like them to pick up your recycling please call (707)499-5676 Southern Humboldt little League Southern Humboldt Little League is gearing up for their 2014 season.
