Cooper Landing Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center
Hello to our Members, Hang on to your hats, the river will be opening in a blink of your eyes. If the information that is being heard, if it is true, it will be a busy summer with tourists, Alaskans, construction workers and our locals. Let’s hope that the leaves on the trees take as long to turn yellow as it was to see them sprout their green leaves. Your Chamber had a change in our officers, Barbara Mosher from Wildman’s, has resigned from the Board of Directors and we would like to thank her for the year and half she was at the helm. Your board has appointed Cheryle James from Wildman’s to be President for the remainder of the year. It is never too soon to think about serving on the Chamber board so think about bringing your ideas to the table. We have appointed a committee to plan a Winter Lighting program for the community. As they build the by-pass, the business community needs to think of ways to make our town a place to visit. Wouldn’t it be special to take the “old” road, and drive through a forest of lighted designs and creatures? It isn’t too early to think of ideas to promote Cooper Landing not just in the summer but also in our winters.

We are always open to new ideas so please share them. We have a great Board of Directors who have been actively working on promoting all our businesses. Please give all of them a BIG Thank You when you see them. The Cooper Landing Chamber has applied for a grant that is to promote tourism in our state. We will let you know if any funds are approved for our community’s use. The board has decided that since we have several thousand Upper Kenai River Guides from last years printing, we did not contract to print more. We would like to begin to update the guide this fall. Think about updating your advertisements or any other changes that need to be made to the web page and your listings.

The Chamber office is open but we need your brochures as the ones on hand are mighty slim. Please stop in and put more on the racks. Don’t be silent, contact any of the board members with ideas, comments, desires to be a board member etc. Let’s all make Cooper Landing that little spot of Heaven that you want to visit all the seasons of the year. Thank you, Cheryle James & Your Chamber Board
