From the chairman Am I the only one who thinks that we just fin- ished with Christmas a little while ago and here we are getting ready for Round-Up? Time does fly, doesn't it? As always, there is lots of going on in our cham- ber, and in our community. Here are just a few of the things that have "flown by" recently: Our most recent Busi- ness Expo — BEAM — was a huge success. There were 70 exhibitors displaying infor- mation about their services and products and more than 450 visitors came to see what's going on. Lots of leads for the exhibitors and lots of door prizes for the visitors. Another great success. Dave and I made our quarterly report to the City Council just a week or so ago, catching them up to date with information about the chamber's activ- ities. Here's a quick update on where we're headed. On March 3-5 the third annual Gold Country Cut- ting Horse event took place at the fairgrounds. There was a Chamber Meet-N- Greet on Friday evening, March 3. Our next Business Semi- nar, "Pricing Your Products and Services to Maximize Profits" will be held March 9 from 9-11 a.m. at the Hol- iday Inn Express on North Main Street. The Butte Col- lege CDC is partnering with us to present this opportu- nity to grow your business. It's open to members and non-members and is free. You can register by going to the Chamber website. The Eleven Days of Round-Up are just around the corner. As always, our chamber staff is coordinat- ing almost 30 different ac- tivities and events starting on Friday, April 13 and fin- ishing up on Sunday, April 23.

DONATION Coffee seller supports local food banks The Corning Business Improvement District, C-BID, will be holding a brainstorming meeting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Corning City Council Chambers, 794 Third St. The geographical fo- cus of the proposed Dis- trict is initially thought to be along Solano Street between 3rd and West streets. There will be op- portunity to discuss whether the geographical focus should be extended at the meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to: 1. Explore the causes of dilapidated buildings within the proposed Dis- trict Area (vacant build- ings, out of the area prop- erty owners, lack of rental income, etc.) 2. Brainstorm our vision of what the C-BID should look like in 10 years –What do we want to work to- wards? What do we want Corning to look like? 3. Identify what can be done to effect change — regulations that require buildings to be maintained to a certain threshold, reg- ulations to simplify the process to allow for out- door seating, identify regu- lar weekly events that can be done in the downtown corridor to increase foot traffic, etc. 4. Identify next steps. Those with a vested in- terest in our community are welcome and encour- aged to attend and contrib- ute to creating solutions. Networking Corning in the Eve- ning for March will be hosted by New Life As- sembly, 660 Solano St. at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. This is a social networking event.
