[OMS_MANAGERS] Welcome & some reminders

[STUART Sheri * OPRD]

Hi Pam,

Sorry - I am not sure why you didn't receive a copy. We initially distributed them in November. Let me know if there is a problem getting it in by Dec 30 due to the delay in getting a copy of the report form to you.

Regards, Sheri

Hello Sheri!  We were looking at Item 3 below...and also your January 9, 2018 letter to us (attached).  In that letter, you indicate that you "request that we receive a brief update on local revitalization efforts each year - we will send you a notification and a short form in December."  Is the "short form" coming soon?

Please let us know.

Thanks!

1.      Welcome to Wesley Murack, the new executive director with the Pendleton Downtown Association! Wesley has a

bachelor's degree in anthropology and a master's degree in international sustainable tourism from the University of North Texas. His master's program took him to Costa Rica, where he helped rural communities develop their tourism industry, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he interned at its tourism department. After getting his master's degree, he did strategic planning for breweries in the Dallas area. After moving to Pendleton in May when his wife got a job as a physical therapist at St. Anthony Hospital, Wesley landed a job with the Oregon Grain Growers Brand Distillery.
