 Greetings
everybody!
What an honor it was to accept on behalf of
our Chamber, the 2013 Missouri Chamber of Commerce of the
Year in Kansas City this past month. This honor is due to
the tremendous efforts by all our members, the ambassadors,
our great staff and directors. Senator Dan Brown made a
special presentation to the Chamber that evening and told
a state wide audience how great our community is. This State
wide acknowledgment and recognition for the Chamber efforts
is greatly appreciated.
We had another successful Shop Local campaign
Saturday November 30, 2013. It was a great day for our local
businesses and our community. The Chamber has started planning
in cooperation with our local media to make Shop Local and
It's All Here a year round campaign. The Chamber goal is
to have a strategy for our Community's long term Sustainability.
I will continue to update the membership as details are
finalized for this new initiative.
Our Community is a wonderful place to live
and work. Our businesses both retail and service are among
the best in the Country. Please remember to support all
local area businesses both retail and service as they support
our tax base that allows us to provide services and benefits
to our citizens, they provide the volunteers that support
our nonprofit organizations and they are an important part
of the engine that keeps our community proposing.
As always please feel free to contact me if the Chamber
can be of any assistance to you.
Your Pres.,
Mike Dunbar

What are all these blue jackets about? I
hear that all the time...let me tell you. We are the Chamber
of Ambassadors. We serve our Chamber, our membership,
and our community with integrity. We serve as goodwill
representatives of the Chamber. Welcoming new members,
speakers and special guests. We also serve as an extra
pair of hands for the chamber staff during events. Most
important roll of Ambassadors play is the promotion of
understanding and confidence in the Chamber among its
membership of Waynesville/St. Robert and surrounding business
area. Chamber membership to businesses, organizations
and individuals.
I became a member because I felt a huge
need to be involved in the community. I felt this was
the right place for me to be...helping others and growing
the community.
By being a active member carries with it
a sense of accomplishment and inner satisfaction from
the knowledge that I am doing my share of an important
job. And although everyone in the community benefits from
the work of the Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors, we feel
a sense of pride that we have been a part of doing something
great in our community.
Get involved, attend ribbon cuttings, basket auctions,
etc. Meet new people and spend locally whenever possible.
When you see a blue jacket, thank them!
They put in a lot of hard work and love into our community!
And lets all admit it the blue jackets are really cool!
Thank you for letting me serve you as the
2013 Chamber of Ambassadors President.

 Pulaski
County Missouri represented at the Route 66 Summit - The Road
Ahead November 20-21st , hosted by the World Monument Fund
and the National Park Services Route 66 Corridor. This invite
only event brought together 94 leaders and organizations representing
Historic Route 66.
Leaders from State Tourism Departments, Tourism Bureaus Chambers,
Main Street programs', national and state associations, National
Parks programs, to museums and privately owned businesses
along the corridor came together to discuss preservation programs,
success stories, Rutgers survey results, expanded marketing
opportunities and developments. Collaboration in uniting in
marketing efforts, of the Internationally recognized Historic
Route 66, as a group using various organizations were also
a focus . Two full days of guest speakers included experts
from Brand USA (federal tourism department), International
Route 66 associations and key leaders along the route.
Route 66 is one aspect of tourism that the Pulaski County
Tourism Bureau markets; targeting leisure, both domestic and
international, and groups; motor coach and individual groups,
through a variety of outlets. Print advertising placements
and editorial in Route 66 specific magazine and websites to
development with area partners on a self guided print and
audio tour. Pulaski County offers 33 intact miles of the 2,400+
miles, running through 8 states. Travelers of Route 66 want
to immerse themselves into the historic experience of this
great American roadway visiting historic sites and museums,
over-nighting in motels, enjoying unique dining experiences,
shopping and site seeing in unique communities with expenditures
estimated at a conservative $38 million a year.
Pulaski County has huge potential for greater development
along the route. The county is well known for sites such as
Devil's Elbow, the steel bridge and the Elbow Inn that have
been in existence for years. Communities along the route are
making strides and we are becoming known for more every day.
Additional developments are needed to keep those travelers
within our 33 miles for a longer period of time. Attractions
that are available need to be open consistent hours to capture
travelers, way finding signage to highlight stops along the
route and development of attractions that preserve the history,
offer interaction for the traveler and combine influences
from impacted cultures such as Native and African American
. As the county looks for new developments in tourism; Historic
Route 66 is one area that should not be overlooked.
Rutger's conducted an in-depth study of the corridor highlighting
economic impact, traveler profiles and development statistics.
The final report may be reviewed at http:/www.wmf.org.
December 20-21st Pulaski County will be the place to be!
The Route 66 Basketball Shootout will be held at the Waynesville
High School. This regional event features premiere high school
teams from across the midwest to include several defending
state champions. For the complete schedule visit http://www.PulaskiCountyUSA.com/Shootout.
If the holidays have snuck up on you, be sure to check out
our calendar of events at http://www.PulaskiCountyUSA.com.
Parades, festivals and interactive story telling continue
through mid December. For those planning events in 2014, please
contact the Bureau on how you can get the word out about your
events.
The Pulaski County Tourism Bureau Board of Directors and
staff wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas and
a prosperous New Year.
Make it a great day!

 The
end of 2013 is almost here! Another year will soon be history
and 2014 will bring new opportunities.
A new initiative to certify our Pulaski County work force
is underway. We had our first meeting November 13 to organize
the team needed to be designated as a work ready community.
The committee make up must come from Chamber of Commerce,
Economic Development Professionals, Elected Officials, Education
Representatives, Community Colleges, Local Workforce Development,
Workforce Investment Board, and Employers/Business. The committee
will do an assessment and determine goals as determined by
the Missouri Department of Economic Development. The accreditation
is from the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC).
The NCRC , was developed by ACT, is an industry-recognized,
portable, evidence-based credential that certifies essential
skills for workplace success.
The NCRC measures skills employers believe are critical to
job success. Individuals can earn the NCRC by taking three
WorkKey assessments: 1) Applied Math 2) Locating Information
3) Reading for Information. The committee's goals will include,
where the test will be administered in Pulaski County.
The committee will have up to two years to accomplish the
criteria to become certified. There are currently 38 counties
in Missouri working on this initiative. It is important that
Pulaski County be designated as a Work Ready Community. Current
and potential employers who may consider Pulaski County as
a location will want to know about the quality of the workforce.
Certification answers many questions and tells employers their
needs will be met. Being part of the Certified Work Ready
Community initiative will give Pulaski County exposure on
ACT's national website, and Missouri's website. This is an
economic development tool we will need to have in today's
competitive environment.

 From
the Banks of the Roubidoux!
Dear Citizens:
The City is dressing up for the holiday season and looking
forward to several community events. The Annual Lions' Club
Christmas Parade will take place on Sunday, December 1st
at 2:00 pm. The Waynesville Downtown Business Association's
"Christmas on the Square" will be Thursday, December
5th, 6:00 to 9:00 pm on the Square in downtown Waynesville.
Bring the family and enjoy these events.
Another exciting thing that has happened in Waynesville
is the repainting and repair of the Bell Bluff Nativity
Scene by several community volunteers. We thank JoAnn Rosipal,
John Rosipal, Janet Rozmiarek, Patti Espinoza, the Shrine
Club and Bales Construction for making sure that this iconic
feature of the season is in place again. The Nativity Scene
started in the 1950's as the Lions' Club Nativity Scene.
It sets on private property and can be seen from I-44 across
Laughlin Valley, greeting everyone visiting Waynesville.
The City continues to work with Benton and Associates, a
professional hydrology team, concerning flood mitigation
concerns. The engineers are paving the way through the permit
process concerning the Mitchell Creek area, as well as looking
at engineering for detention ideas across the Interstate.
Removal of gravel and debris from the creek bed will be
the largest part of this project and we have contacted our
state officials, Rep. Lynch and Sen. Brown, to help us with
grants, the many departments and permits. Former Waynesville
Mayor Bill Ransdall has also been helpful in connecting
us with the right partners. The City is working almost every
day on flood issues and we hope to have all the plans in
place by the spring. Dealing with all the agencies and departments
concerning natural resources can be very problematic. However,
we have found a desire to help the City and our citizens
with every agency. DNR has visited us and last week the
Conservation Department walked the creek area with us and
discussed many issues. Both agencies have been very helpful.
We have also found the FEMA representatives very helpful.
COAD continues to work to help our citizens who suffered
damage from the flood. There are still many families dealing
with the losses and this time of year would be an excellent
time to reach out to your neighbors and offer a hand. Good
Samaritan and COAD have names of families who could use
help!
FEMA has given early approval to several City projects for
mitigating and repairing areas affected by the flood. These
projects were approved by the Council at the November meeting.
They include moving the Kiwanis' baseball field in the Roubidoux
Park to the middle school property, relocating our street
department to an area out of the flood plain, rebuilding
the RV Park and relocating the shower house in the RV Park
to higher ground, relocating the Roubidoux Bridge lift station
to North Street and paving several damaged streets. We are
interested in mitigating flood issues within the City, and
now is the time to do it.
The budget for fiscal year 2014 was presented at the November
City Council meeting. It is $17.4 million, with many important
infrastructure projects included. The City had several projects
planned and in the works when the August flood stopped us
all in our tracks. We are beginning to recover and plan
to get them started soon. The flood has cost the City over
$380,000 to date. We are fortunate to have had cash reserves
to use for those emergency expenses and hope to be reimbursed
in part by FEMA, but of course, that takes many months.
Our plan is to borrow from reserves and pay monies back
when we are reimbursed. Your Council is dedicated to building
our reserves, but also, moving forward with important projects.
We continue to install the sewer and water lines to the
new cinema location. We are also expecting to see a new
water tower begin to rise at the Waynesville Industrial
Park across I-44. The footings are in and the steel should
be arriving soon. The Phelps County Regional Medical Clinic
will break ground December 6th at 1:00 pm on their new four
story clinic on G. W. Lane. The public is invited to attend.
Have a great holiday season and enjoy the Christmas festivities
in our community. The City Hall will be closed December
24 and 25 for our employees to enjoy their families. REMEMBER
TO SHOP LOCAL!
From the banks of the Roubidoux,
Luge Hardman

there may be a $10 charged for the meal. The decision was
made to charge this amount to compensate our Chamber member
restaurants for the last minute adjusts they must make to
their menus
