Show Chamber, Bureau merger to go to memberships The Newspaper Thursday, October 29, 1981 Page A 13 MEMO: The memberships of the Chamber of Commerce and the Park City Convention and Visitors Bureau will be meeting this afternoon to discuss the merger of those two groups into one body. Both organizations were formed to assist local business busi-ness in such diverse areas as cultural and recreational activities, economics, business busi-ness development and the promotion of the city as a year-round destination area for tourism and meetings. But according to Debbie Symonds of the Convention Bureau, the two groups often overlapped functions in the past and needlessly duplicated dupli-cated efforts. ,, The purpose of merging the groups, she said, would be to reduce the communication communica-tion gap between the groups, to offer more and better services to the combined memberships, to streamline administrative costs by housing both organizations in one office and to increase funding sources. Symonds said the executive execu-tive boards of both organiza tions have approved the merger, and that the meeting meet-ing at the Holiday Inn at 4 p.m! todayls a formality. "It will be basically a question and answer session with the membership," said Symonds. At the meeting, an interim executive committee will be chosen by the membership from a slate of names, said Symonds. The committee will serve as an interim board until January 1, when formal by-laws and articles of incorporation are adopted. "We will come with a slate and ask for a vote on the 15," said Symonds. "More than likely, it will be the board as of January 1, too." The new committee will select an executive director to head the merged organizations, organiza-tions, she added. The physical merging of the groups is scheduled to take place this weekend. The Chamber of Commerce offices, of-fices, now in the Mt. Air Mall, will move to the Bureau's offices in the Summit County Title Building, south of the old Mt. Air Market. And if you were accustomed accus-tomed to sending visitors to the brochure racks in the Chamber offices in Mt. Air Mall, think twice on Monday. The new Visitor Information Center will be in the "Red Barn" at 1555 Park Avenue. The hours wilt be Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Symonds said the hours likely will be extended once winter has arrived. Symonds said the merger will not mean a loss of personnel to either organization. organiza-tion. "All of the functions in the past will be covered, but maybe the people will be shifted." She said the organization will be split into five committees: commit-tees: marketing, government govern-ment involvement, community commu-nity affairs, finance and membership. Symonds said she viewed the merger as a positive step that will benefit the membership member-ship and the community.

In preparation for this election, KPCW has devoted in excess of 30 hours of programming to inform voters vot-ers in the Park City area with candidate interviews, live debates prior to the primaries, and live coverage of the League of Woman Voters "Meet the Press" program. As a listener-supported, public radio station, KPCW is in the unique position of being able to devote this much air time to City Council races, believing that it is part of our commitment as a non-commercial radio station to help inform the public. In our first year of operation, KPCW was able to devote hundreds of hours of time to coverage of the Park City bond election and the School Board race, in addition ad-dition to our local and national news during the morning show. So, stay tuned to KPCW for election results Tuesday, Nov. 3, and continue to listen as we upgrade our news coverage, including the Coalville, Coal-ville, Kamas and Heber City areas. KPCW, "the volunteer volun-teer voice." WhenP.C. talks... E.F. Hutton listens By Susan Reade "There's no recession up here.'Uid u - .ban but That apparently was the feeling of E.F. Hutton's top regional managers when they toured the Park City area on Thursday, Oct. 22. Ann Brighton, of Banberry Real Estate in Park City, lead the Hutton group on the tour of part of a seminar held in Salt Lake City. Brighton said that the Wedding bells ring Mrs. James G. Ward takes pleasure in announcing the marriage of her daughter, Elizabeth Ward Salomon, to Scott Be all, the son of Mr, Robert Beall of Park City and Mrs. Margaret Beall of Salt Lake City. A home ceremony was held on Friday, October 16 at 4 p.m. at 2524 Lucky John Drive. Reverend Bill Davis of the Park City Community Church officiated.: Taking part in the ceremony were the Misses Alexandra and Rachel Salomon as flower girls, and Donald Beall served ser-ved as his brother's best man. Attending were members of the families, including out-of-town guests from Salt Lake City, Kamas, Minneapolis Min-neapolis and Portola Valley, Calif. After the cake-cutting festivities, the couple left for a brief honeymoon in Palm Springs. . '; group was impressed with the overall Utah area, and - that a Park -. City was the highlight of their seminar. In particular, the group cited the Jeremy Ranch Golf Course, the Deer Valley facilities, and the easy access to an international airport. Historic Main Street with its mix of new construction construc-tion also got enthusiastic reviews, as did the quality of building, as exemplified by the Ridgeview development, Brighton said. . The -tour .was a result of. Brighton's association with E.F. Hutton's New York City office manager. She was the agent who sold him property in the Park City area last year, and his enthusiasm for the potential of the Park City Deer Valley area resulted res-ulted in the addition of the tour to the Salt Lake City agenda, Brighton said.

The U.S. Ski Team, in conjunction with Osmund Entertainment Entertain-ment and the Park City Ski Corporation, is currently formulating plans for a winter spectacular to be held in Park City between Feb. 27 and March 2, 1982. Intended as a television special, Park City will be the backdrop for a festive winter carnival, combining spirited competition on the slopes with glittering entertainment. Behind the glitter, the event is designed as a major fund-raiser for the U.S. Ski Team, headquartered in the Treasure Mountain Inn on Main Street. The event is in preliminary planning stages but details will be released as finalized. We can think of another outlet for performing arts groups in Park City they can cover up for Mountain Bell's mistakes. The next time your phone is on the blink, a voice may say, "We're sorry. All circuits are busy now. In the meantime, we invite you to listen to excerpts form the Park City Performers' production of "My Fair Lady." Another telephone hint: You know you're in trouble when you dial your number and you hear a "CLUNK" followed by five minutes of silence. Congratulations to KPCW for their new call-in show "Feedback," hosted by well-known Salt Lake communicator Joe Redburn. The show may take a while to get noticed. In the meanwhile, they may have to use some rather incendiary topics to incite listener interest. (How about a program on, "Do you favor putting a drive-in theater in the Monitor Drive area?") But "Feedback" will have an audience before long. We didn'l hear much of the first show, but we do agree with the caller who said that KPCW has too much news and not enough music. That is our fault, of course. We haven't been donating our old albums. If everyone contributes their used records to the radio station, we won't have to listen to the AP Hog Report every half -hour. In it's finest hour, KCPW quickly collected a pile of Beatles hits to play after the tragic death of John Lennon. But there are some mornings you would think the station only has two albums the soundtrack from "Children of Sanchez" and Willie Nelson's "Red-headed Stranger." n -i con chnro that!
