Chamber of Commerce Honors…

By Peggy Keesecker, President,  Seldovia Chamber of Commerce

The Seldovia Chamber of Commerce has selected Clem Tillion, a pioneer of Halibut Cove and former commercial fisherman as our Old Crab for 2012. 

Clem became a leading state legislator for nine terms, helping to start the tradition of paying Alaskans an annual dividend from the state’s oil wealth before retiring as Senate president in 1981. He was appointed to the very first North Pacific Council in 1976, and served there for many years. He has lots of stories and much history.  You’ll have a chance to bid for the privilege of having lunch with Clem Tillion on the Fourth of July in Seldovia.

The Chamber would also like to announce the selections for the Citizen of the Year, the Business or Non-Profit of the Year and the Outstanding Community Contribution by a Young Person.

Every year nominations are open for various well-deserved honors in Seldovia.  There’s a month for locals to make nominations, and Chamber members do the voting.

2 Extra Days to File!

by Jenny Chissus

This year we are “blessed” with two extra days to think about, agonize over and pull together our numbers to mail in our returns!  Because the 15th falls on a Sunday, normally, we would have to mail in our tax returns on Monday.  However this year, Monday the 16th is Emancipation Day, though not a recognized Federal Holiday, but a day celebrated in Washington DC – and therefore – the IRS has decided to give us all one more day to enjoy the pleasures of preparing our returns!    Good luck, and have a great weekend!
