Help the Lewis-Clark Animal Shelter
With Their Dream
The Lewis-Clark Animal Shelter is looking for 5 to 10 acres on
which to build a new Adoption and Discovery Center.
Our community can make a difference for animals as the
time has come for the animal shelter to move closer to
the community and provide our pets with more adequate
shelter and health care facilities.
The new acreage will be arranged like a village with open
space, grassy areas and paths joining the Adoption and
Discovery Center with the Memorial Gardens and outdoor
play and training spaces. Outdoor activities will be tucked
in the center of the campus protecting the surrounding
properties from views and sounds. Animals and their
human companions visiting the village for our new
services will encounter the positive, bright, and refreshing
atmosphere that we have begun at our current location.
Your financial help is an investment in your community and
for those who can’t ask for themselves
- animals in need.
As a courtesy to our guest speakers,
please refrain from using cell phones
during the Business Luncheon.
Thank you.

Summer is finally here...
And with the warmer weather brings more visitors to are great Valley. So far this year we have had visitors from
Alaska, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio and Texas along
with our neighbor states Idaho and Oregon. Plus we’ve seen people from Canada, Germany and Scotland.
With the summer now upon us means the Visitor Information Center (VIC) has extended its hours. Memorial
Weekend our summer hours started with the VIC being open from 10 am to 4 pm every Saturday through Labor
Day Weekend. We are always looking for volunteers to cover the weekend shift, so if you would like to volunteer
to help visitors when they come into the Visitor Center, please give me a call. We have two 3-hour shifts (10 am to
1 pm and 1 to 4 pm). Just one of the benefits of volunteering is the chance to meet people from all over the world.

Again this year, the Hells Canyon Visitor Bureau is promoting the “Hells Canyon Treasure Hunt”. Handcrafted glass floats
are placed at several locations in Hells Canyon, local RV resorts and campgrounds for visitors to find. Once they find their
“treasure” they come back into the VIC and pick up their certificate of authenticity and have their photo taken. It is always great to
hear about their trip here and into Hells Canyon and how they found the glass float.
Executive Director,
Clarkston Chamber
Just a reminder to set your alarm clocks early on Wednesday, June 13 as our general membership luncheon is moving to BREAKFAST at 7 am at the
Quality Inn & Suites. And if the weather is permitting we will be out on the deck. Last summer we started the breakfast meetings and I know it was
enjoyed by all to be sitting outside and having breakfast with friends and colleagues. I hope you can join us again this year for our breakfast meeting
on June 13, July 11 and August 8.

16th Annual Mt. Misery mania
- America’s Premier 57 mile
“interval” Team Relay and Solo
Asotin Creek Park Asotin, Washington
to River Park Troy, Oregon
Saturday, June 30, 2007
Registration: Entry fee is $40
per person. Teams shall consist
of 2 to 6 persons. All runners
and substitutions must read and
sign a Registration Form. No
substitutions or additions will be
allowed after start time on race
day. Team members receive a Tshirt and post race dinner catered
by Shilo Oasis. Solo runners must
have a teammate for support.
Late fee after June 23 is $15 per
team. Awards to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd,
and 4th place teams.
An Interval Relay Race is a team
event where runners choose to
run distances of personal choice,
instead of the standard method of
running designated legs between
exchange points. Runners may
exchange the baton at any time,
or any order, running as short,
or as long a distance as you may
desire. This makes for more team
participation, with strategies like
putting fast runners on the flats,
strong runners on the hills, and
sprinters near the finish.
Do you need on a team, or need a
teammate? Contact Bill Chandler
at (208) 746-8287. Registration
Forms, Maps, Race Results, and
Pictures are available on our web
site at www.seaportstriders.com.
