Chamber Welcomes New Staff Member
Lisa Thomas
Administrative Assistant
My name is Lisa Thomas. I grew up in Owensboro,
KY and after high school moved to Louisville, KY. I went to
college at Spalding University and graduated with a Bachelor
of Science in Communication Studies and a Bachelor of Arts
in English/ Writing. While in college, I was able to get two
travel scholarships to study in Ireland and Israel. I met
my husband my last year of college while he was stationed
in Fort Knox, KY. My husband is in the US Army and we have
3 children. His Military career has taken us to Fort Knox
(twice), Fort Irwin, CA, Ansbach, Germany, and Fort Leonard
Wood, Missouri. While in California, I worked for the San
Bernardino County Library as a Literacy Specialist. I also
worked in the Development Department for St. Joseph Children's
Home in Louisville, KY. I then took some time off to be with
my children, but found many exciting volunteer opportunities
as a Military Spouse. I am excited to be the newest addition
to the Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber of Commerce and be apart
of the amazing things that happen in this community!

School District in promoting their character word of the month.
Each month a character word is chosen to be the focus of character
development. The Chamber is encouraging its members to apply

to them.
The character word for October is:
Responsibility is used as a noun meaning the
state of being the person who caused something to happen,
a duty or task that you are required or expected to do, or
something that you should do because it is morally right,
legally required, etc.
What does responsibility
mean to you, your business, and the community?

I started my business as a drafting company, in which I
drafted for other architects, in 1995. When I passed my
architectural licensing exam in 2000 I started my own Architectural
firm which was called Ireland and Associates and in 2007
I changed the name of the company to Ireland Architects
to explain better what services my company provides. In
addition to traditional Architectural services, we can offer
many types of services for our clients, such as feasibility
studies, code research, specialized medical design, zoning
information and re-zoning assistance, pre-design services
and overall help with getting through the process of a renovation
or new building project. Many people renovate a business
only every 25 years so most people don't have the experience
to know what they need to look for, aware of the time it
takes or are aware of the process, that's where we can help
- this is what we do every day. We work primarily with commercial
design so we are aware of the regulations and codes necessary
to make your project run smoothly. You have a full time
job, let us taking care of your building project. We can

 Greetings
everybody!
This is a sad day for our Country because
as I write this message our Government is in a "Partial
Shutdown" as it is phrased. That is unless you have
just been furloughed and told that you will be contacted
when you can return to work. I hope for our Country, that
this shut down is very short and that our Congressional
Leaders will step back and realize that the very ones being
affected are among the finest individuals and Patriots that
serve our Country. They may not wear a uniform but the work
they do is no less important.
The Chamber functions that have been scheduled
will continue as planned even though; we are all very concerned
for the future of our Country.
The government shut down emphasizes the importance
for our Chamber to continue looking for innovative ways
to maintain our sustainability both for our membership and
our community. To ensure Community Sustainability we must
strive to establish a local economy that will be viable,
environmentally sound and socially responsible. Sustainability
requires participation from all sectors of the community
both to define the community needs and to identify and implement
innovative and appropriate solutions.
As Chamber members, we need to support each other. Before
leaving town, to either shop or dine out, think first of
your local Chamber member. You will not only save on gas
but will demonstrate your support for our local area.
As always please feel free to contact me if
the Chamber can be of any assistance to you.
Your Pres.,
Mike Dunbar

 October
is a busy month as we continue to present the Choices program
to all the 8th graders in the County. It all kicks off on
October 5th with the Frog Race during Frogtober Fest at
the Waynesville City Park. Then the next Friday night we
will hold Community Pride Night at the Waynesville High
School Homecoming football game on the 11th. We will celebrate
a black and orange pride day with the Homecoming Parade
in the afternoon and then everyone will join us for a tailgate
party like never before!
Leanna and I attended the CCEM conference
in Kansas City to gain valuable insights and ideas from
seminar speakers and other Chamber staff from around the
state.
The Chamber is starting to work on our 2014
Calendar of Events. Don't forget to send in your community
calendars as soon as you can. It helps prevent multiple
events on the same day.
If you have any questions or concerns please give me a call
at 573-336-5121.

What I like best about being a Chamber Ambassador-
The Ambassadors are an extremely fun and
interesting group to be part of. This hard-working group
of community volunteers provides membership mentoring
to new and existing Chamber members and assist Chamber
staff as needed.
Top 5 List
5. Connecting with all the business associates
I've met over the years. Being an ambassador with the
Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber of Commerce gives me the
opportunity to learn about all the wonderful businesses
that we have right here.
4. I wanted to be an Ambassador in order
to meet more people. I did not know that when I became
an Ambassador I would make so many new and incredible
friends. This is an opportunity to learn about different
aspects of business, City issues and the vast interest's
people have in their daily lives.
3. I believe we are better together. Being
an ambassador gives me the opportunity to connect and
partner with local business owners, support their growth
and serve the community I love.
2. As a "connector" of people,
I love how being an Ambassador helps me be even more effective.
The Ambassador program helps me expand my "hood'ya"
list (who do ya know who...) so I can help our Members
find the resources, people and products they need so they
can work smarter and not harder! It's all about RELATIONSHIPS,
and the Ambassador program is relationships on steroids!
1. It's a win- win for all!

 I
want to encourage everyone to get out and enjoy all the great
fall activities in Pulaski County USA! Did you know Pulaski
offers 5 area farms in which you and your family can hug a
pig, feed an alpaca, enjoy a hayride, learn about antique
tractors, play in a corn box, get lost in Pulaski County's
largest precision cut corn maze (7 acres of twists and turns!),
catapult a pumpkin, watch your toddler laugh and squeal on
a zipline and find that perfect pumpkin for Halloween. Those
wanting to get their "spook" on have a choice of
haunts around the county; Haunted Hill, Haunted Village, Spooktacular
Walking Trail and paranormal investigations at the Talbot
House and even a chance to start in a horror film!
There are so many events going on, there are too many to
list here! Frogtober Fest, rodeo's, car shows, 5K's just to
name a few. I am encouraging you to connect with us on social
media so that you are in the know. Simply search for Pulaski
County USA on Facebook, Twitter (#pulaskicountyusa), and Youtube
and follow us! The Bureau also offers up a blog and we invite
you to follow us at PulaskiCountyUSA.wordpress.com, every
week Laura blogs about the weekly events, attractions and
businesses in Pulaski County. We also encourage you to share
our postings with all your friends. Be proud of our beautiful
and patriotic area.
I have spoke a lot about the various marketing outlets that
we use to promote Pulaski County. As business owners you know
you have to reach your potential customers in a variety of
ways, whether it is radio, TV, print, social media, billboards,
to even more detailed outlets that pertain to the internet;
keywords, pay per click and on and on, A key component to
targeted marketing is, you have to go where your potential
customer is. Are you? Ffor example maybe your business demographic
is for women. Start thinking about how you reach them…Is
it through a tradeshow geared towards women? Is it a publication,
that women read or a social media channel (Pinterest), a radio
or TV channel that women are engaged in? If your demographic
is men and you want to promote for example fishing/floating,
go to their sources; message boards on fishing, outdoor tradeshow,
print (outdoor publications) Or say it is a special event;
I.E. Rodeo. Send direct mailers and posters to saddle clubs,
associations, and arenas. Locate message boards that center
around rodeos. Be very direct in your message and who you
are aiming for. As you can see it takes a lot of thought,
time and quite frankly, money to get your message out and
heard, but if you directly target your audience advertising
can be extremely successful. Now that you start seeing business
coming in, the next important step is to ask. Ask your new
customers how they heard about you. Keep a tally, whether
it is detailed or not, but this will help you gage what is
truly working for you both in time and money. Now listen.
Engage your customer what do they like? What was their experience?
What were they expecting? You can take all this information
and make the next go around bigger and better. Then apply
what you learned about your customers to reach even more and
become better in the process.
What if a marketing plan doesn't work? Don't just throw up
your hands and say it didn't work! You have too much invested
to do that! There is a reason, and many variables can factor
in. Where you not timely in your promotion? Did you not have
enough lead time for them to plan? Did you not offer a service
that they were expecting? Did you place advertising in the
wrong outlets for what you were trying to do? Did you not
reach out to your target market or demographic? Was it customer
service? Was it previous reputation? Was it inconsistency
in the message? You must look at the whole experience.
Reflect

Explore and Examine
Ask and Analyze

Contemplate
Hope
Making it a great day….

 I
attended the Missouri Governor's Conference on Economic Development
September 5-6, 2013. This year the conference was held Thursday
noon to Friday at 1:30 pm. This is one day less than previous
conferences. The conference had two general sessions, breakout
sessions, awards ceremony, and a keynote speaker.
The first general session was an in depth looks at the Small
Modular Reactor technology. The task force for the state of
Missouri is comprised of representatives of Ameren, Westinghouse,
and the University of Missouri. This task force is working
on bringing the Westinghouse SMR to Missouri for nuclear energy
and manufacturing of the components in Missouri. The initiative
process is now in the third year and would be a huge economic
development opportunity for Missouri.
The second general session was highlighting the automotive
industry in Missouri. The Ford Motor Co. is celebrating its
100th year in Kansas City. The discussion was the expansion
of Ford products in Kansas City. Automotive sales are exceeding
available production. Tier 1, 2, 3, and 4 manufactures are
needed to supply the assembly lines. Pulaski County could
attract manufactures in those tier groups. A tier 1, 2, 3,
& 4 manufacturer must be within 4 hours of the assembly
plant. They could supply the plants in St. Louis and Kansas
City.
The breakout sessions were on work force initiatives, the
new incentive program Missouri works, and a session on innovation
and entrepreneurship. The awards part of the program recognized
businesses from the metropolitan areas of the state. Our state
Missouri saw an award "Advancement Award "goes to
University of Central Mo.at Warrensburg.
The keynote speaker was Austan Goolsbee a professor at the
University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. Professor
Goolsbee is a very entertaining economist and I enjoyed his
thoughts on the future global economy.
In my twenty years of attending this conference it was one
of the better ones!

 From
the Banks of the Roubidoux!
Dear Citizens:
Recovery from the August 6th flash flood has been steady
and consistent in the City. We still have many families
dealing with the devastation of their homes. The City wishes
to thank all of the estimated 1800 volunteers who gave time
and energy in the weeks following the event. Please contact
the COAD office at 337-2286 or Good Samaritan at 774-4040
for information and assistance.
The City suffered approximately $900,000 in damage and FEMA
has declared Public Assistance for the entire County. This
will help to recoup some of the damage to our roads and
infrastructure. We were greatly disappointed that FEMA did
not declare Individual Assistance for the County. This decision
is being appealed. The City hired a team of expert hydrologists
from MST the week following the flood and at the September
Council meeting a preliminary report was given. The City's
focus is on mitigation. What can we do to lessen the chances
of this devastation happening again?
We were told that the biggest problem for the City and specifically,
the Mitchell Creek area, is the over 4000 acres of watershed
that it now serves. "This flood came from South of
the Interstate.", Dr. Morris said. Most of this land
is in the County and has no controls or regulations on water
detention. The City does have these safeguards, but we are
the destination of most of this water from the County. The
flood has been determined to be a 100 year Flood Event,
with pockets of even higher estimates. The hydrology engineers
said we must increase the amount of water that can be safely
sent down Mitchell Creek. We need to remove massive amounts
of gravel from the creek bed to increase its flow. We need
to stabilize the creek beds. We need detention on the other
side of the Interstate. All of these mitigating factors
have to be paid for and that will be our next goal. We will
be coming to you with some proposals, as well as utilizing
the FEMA monies that we applied for, and were tentatively
approved for, by the agency. We will also be working through
DNR and the Corps of Engineers and looking for grant opportunities.
I will be contacting our elected state representatives for
their help. I will be contacting the Governor's office and
call in his offer of help for the City. We will keep you
informed as things develop. We will be hosting a formal
presentation of the hydrology study at the Planning and
Zoning Meeting, Tuesday, October 8, at 5:30 p.m. at City
Hall.
The City is announcing a very generous donation from Russell
and Mildred Dial to the Waynesville Park System. The Dials
moved to Waynesville in 1960 and purchased the Clark Motel,
along Route 66. Russell was a City Council member from 1968-75.
He died in 1993. Mildred continued to run the motel until
she sold it in 2001 to the County Library Board. Mildred
was a friend to all who knew her. She died last September
and in her will, left $70,000 to the Parks. The Dials loved
Waynesville and they will be long remembered for this wonderful,
selfless gift. We will memorialize them, as we use these
funds to begin the Roubidoux Park Stage Project and the
"No Boundaries" Playground for handicapped children
and their families. We think they would be pleased.
In a special Council meeting on September 23rd, the Council
voted to name a new Police Chief for the City of Waynesville.
My nomination is Lt. Dan Cordova, from the Pulaski County
Sheriff's Department. He comes highly recommended and from
the beginning of the process, I involved the Police Committee
and all Council members. We had 15 applicants, interviewed
9 and narrowed that number to 4. All four candidates were
superb and it was a hard decision. I chose Lt. Cordova because
he brought such a wide array of experiences, professionalism,
excellent references and will bring progressive thinking
to the department. As Chief Bob Carter leaves us after many
years of service, I think the Police Department will be
in good hands. I hope the community will welcome and support
our new Police Chief.
I recently signed the paperwork with the National Park Service
to begin our exhibit for the Trail of Tears site in Laughlin
Park and the interpretive walking tour to be built along
the Roubidoux Walking Trail. The Trail of Tears site weathered
the flood well and had no damage. The engineering on that
project was done with a 100 year flood in mind. We are looking
forward to a great stop on the National Historic Trail within
the next year.
SHOP LOCAL!

Clause outside so you have some additional photo opportunities.
There will be local craft and home based vendors at this year's
event, so you can do a little shopping while your kids color
at our Holiday Coloring Station inside. This event, like all
of the other City of St. Robert's events, would not be possible
without the generous donations, of time and resources, from
our wonderful community. We are always grateful for any and
all donations. We will gladly accept donations of candy canes,
holiday décor, and monetary donation. We would also
appreciate the donation of your time, by volunteering at this
event.
