Speaking of flowers, I would like to thank Holland America Bulb Farms, Benno and Klazina Dobbe, their family and their entire staff a great after hours. The food, music, fields of flowers, visiting all the vendors and guests was absolutely fantastic. If you were not there you missed a great time. It is definitely a fun filled by everyone. Thanks to all involved.
Get ready to be contacted by our golf committee as we gear up for fun day at Lewis River Golf Course on August 14th. We still need sponsors, golfers and volunteers to help the day of the tournament, so if you want to have some fun golfing, sell raffle tickets or just enjoy talking to all of us golf hackers, see me or any one of our
committee members and we will sign you up!! The food is great too!!
We are always looking for new ideas and guest speakers for our lunch
meetings, so if you have any suggestions please contact Sharon at the chamber office. Please remember that this is YOUR chamber and we want to do all we can to help your business and our community succeed.
If you have the chance, please read the April 4th issue of the Vancouver Business Journal. There is a great article about our Woodland Chamber.
We have much to be proud of, and being recognized by our adjacent community is great exposure. See you at our next lunch meeting.

Clark County High Capacity Transit System Study
Clark County has seen significant economic and population growth over the past 25 years and future trends predict it will continue. However, growth has outpaced transportation investment, resulting in traffic congestion and travel delays. In response, the Clark County region is undertaking a High Capacity Transit (HCT) System Study to provide a framework for long-term investments in the region’s transit system. The purpose of the Clark County HCT System Study is to identify a HCT system that provides efficient and high quality transit service connecting county residents with where they want to go.
Currently, the five modes selected for further study are:
- Light rail transit
- Bus rapid transit
- Bus rapid transit lite
- Streetcar
- Commuter rail
The corridors that have been selected for further study include:
- SR 14/Mill Plain
- SR 500/Fourth Plain
- I-5/Highway 99
- I-205
- Chelatchie Prairie
The study’s recommendations are intended to help maintain the region’s growth and economic prosperity by providing additional mobility options to key activity centers and along major travel corridors. For more information visit the HCT website at www.rtc.wa.gov/hct.

FEBRUARY & MARCH AFTER HOURS EVENTS!
Columbia Bank, Woodland, hosted the Woodland Chamber of Commerce After Hours event in February 2008 and it was VERY successful. The food catered by Los Pepe’s was outstanding. Columbia Bank also gave away many nice gifts during their drawing. Many attended, enjoyed a glass of wine, networking and met some new businesses that have moved to our area and beyond.
Thank you to Columbia Bank, Carol Rounds and the staff for hosting this wonderful event.
Coldwell Banker: River Country Real Estate hosted the Woodland Chamber of Commerce After Hours in March. Ken & Sara Paul, owners, have been Chamber members for years and said they really enjoyed hosting their first After Hours event.
The food and wine were delicious and many new faces to our community enjoyed the time spent together and getting to know what else Woodland has to offer. Thank you to Ken & Sara, Marisa & Gary and the entire staff for making this event so much fun.
AFTER HOURS EVENT SCHEDULE FOR 2008 NEARLY BOOKED
Bill Behrens, Chairman of the After Hours Event Committee, has done an outstanding job in organizing these gatherings. Thanks for your hard work Bill!
Due to the constraint of only one After Hours per month the Chamber is unable to accommodate multiple monthly After Hours requests and recommends contacting the Woodland Downtown Revitalization Committee to take part in their May After Hours/Business Expo. This event, in the Grange Hall, always draws a crowd and can play host to a large number of businesses.
In addition Benno Dobbe of the Holland America Bulb Farm would be happy to talk to anyone who might like to highlight their business at the Tulip Festival beginning April 5th.
The past spaces at Holland America Bulb Farm have worked well for local businesses and vendors providing excellent exposure through the attendance for the Tulip Festival. For more information about these two up coming Chamber After Hours Events please contact the Chamber office at (360) 225-9552.
