A Word from the Board I am extremely honored to be serving as the 2018 Chair of �e Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce Board. I am looking forward to working with the Board, Members and Sta� in the coming year. 2017 was a busy year for the Chamber. �e sta� welcomed a monthly average of 343 visitors, answered 313 phone calls, and there were a whopping 135,796 face book impressions, with 3,671 likes. �e Dalles was included in media coverage viaTV, online and magazine articles 64 times, and had a total of 45,985 visits to the website. �ere were FAM tours, Tech Talk Education, Google GYBO’s Livestream, Co�ee Connections, Business A�er Hours, and Power Breakfasts for a total of 87 Networking Events. �e Chamber Held 58 Ribbon Cuttings, weekly Government A�airs, produced the 38th Annual Northwest Cherry Festival, and hosted a special Membership Appreciation, as well as Mistletoe Marketplace, Starlight Parade, Tree Lighting Ceremony, Pictures with Santa. Last but certainly not least the new Chamber Façade was completed. In 2017 the Chamber welcomed 80 new members giving us a total of 485 members. As you can see the Chamber is hard at work supporting our businesses, strengthening tourism and our communities through promotions, marketing, education and advocacy. I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU, the members, for your continued support and encourage your participation in these wonderful events. Here is to a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2018.

Business of The Month

BusinessMonth

of theBusinessMonth

�e small business of the month program is designed to recognize the dedication, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit displayed by small businesses within �e Dalles community. �e goal of the monthly award is to highlight a small business and give them extra marketing exposure to aid in growing their business. We have asked INB (formerly Centerpointe Community Bank), as our 2017 Business of the Year, to select the Business of the Month. �e business is selected based on their quality of customer service, willingness to go above and beyond, and overall impact in our community.

Montira’s �ai Restaurant is the place to go to enjoy warm delicious food, attentive sta�, and a cozy environment. We are so lucky to have this incredible gem in our community, it’s hard to imagine what we did without it.

Ken and Montira used to drive through �e Dalles and really loved the area and community, so, they decided to make it their home. �ey have poured their hearts into this restaurant and you can feel it when you are there. Montira is an incredibly warm, welcoming and generous business owner and she passes that same mindset to her sta�.

Whether you are hungry for soup, salad, noodles or curry; they have something to tempt everyone’s appetite. Walking through their doors you are greeted and treated like family. If you don’t have time to stay, they are more than happy to box it up to go. Our sta� does this on a regular basis!

�e generosity that Ken and Montira show to their guests, they also show to this community; they give back, to ensure that those less fortunate can have something more. �e Dalles INB is honored to name Montira’s �ai Restaurant Business Of �e Month.
