Julia Huni is the Chamber’s Community Relations Assistant.
Visitors come to the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce Visitors center on Main Avenue looking for answers to questions ranging from where to eat to what events are happening in Sisters over the weekend.
Julia Huni is there to answer those questions. She is the Chamber's new Community Relations Assistant.
"I answer phones, I talk to everyone who comes in here and give them information on the community," she said.
In addition to her main duties helping the public, Huni has been working on the Chamber's Web site and database and has revamped the relocation packet.
"I'm doing a little bit of everything right now," she said.
Huni is also in charge of organizing the Chamber's Mix-n-Mingle events.
Huni is a recent transplant to Sisters, having arrived last August.
"My husband retired from the Air Force and we got in an RV and started driving till we found a place we liked," she said. "We actually fell in love with this town."
Huni said she likes having a position where she can get to know the town better and help "sell" Sisters to visitors.
"I'm a people person," she said. "Any time I get to meet a lot of people, that's a good thing."
Huni said the Chamber is always looking for volunteers. In fact, she's involved in planning a volunteer fair where all the events and organizations in Sisters can meet with prospective volunteers.
"We're in the very early stages of that," she said.
