ACT Executive Director Maureen Funk said the Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel selected Amador Council of Tourism as the beneficiary of its golf tournament April 16th at Castle Oaks Golf Course in Ione. Funk said: “They have asked us to provide prizes and some volunteers on the day of the event.” She said anyone willing to help with either should let her know. Funk said Amador Council of Tourism will be having quarterly meetings in the evening this year, hoping that those who cannot attend morning meetings will “connect” with the council once a quarter. Snacks and a no-host bar will be available at today’s 5:30 p.m. meeting at Castle Oaks. Funk told about some upcoming activities planned by the ACT. The “49er Treasure Trail” is planned for March 27-28. “Clue Spots” are set and “Play Spots” may still sign-up through March 15th, Monday. Those who need more information should attend today’s 5:30 p.m. meeting at Castle Oaks. They will discuss the 49er Treasure Trail event in detail. She said “goody bag” materials need to be delivered to ACT by March 15th as well, and businesses should not assume the council has enough material. Funk said “registrations are coming in,” and “it should be a good weekend for Amador County.” The final 49er Treasure Trail meeting is March 24th at the American Exchange Hotel. Funk also invited people to drop by ACT’s new location at the Transit Center at 115 Valley View Way, in Sutter Creek. Funk said it is a “beautiful location and building,” many people have stopped by to visit, and “even without signs, the daily traffic has been startling.” Today’s agenda includes discussion of the Amador County Transient Occupancy Tax increase project, for November 2010. The council will also discuss the New Visitor Center and Transit Center on Sutter Hill and the Plymouth Visitor Center. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
