The Week of July 25th, 2023

Advocate. Educate. Collaborate.

If at first you DO succeed…try not to look astonished.

Gresham Area Chamber of Commerce in Pictures Sponsored by MEWA

Who knew cleaning could be this much fun? Community, Chamber, and Council members coming together, making our city shine bright for last weekend’s Art Festival.

Using Media and Communication in daily life is like trying to fold a fitted sheet – you’re never quite sure if you’re doing it right, while it seems like everyone else has it figured out.

This month’s Unofficial Happy Hour was at Club Paesano, where Gresham Chamber members (Alta Ulrich of Alta Ulrich, LMT, Kirstan Rogers of ROG3RS REALTY INC, and Jon Thomas of Everyday Air Systems) joined in the fun for some after-hours shenanigans…mixing business with pleasure, laughter with libations, and friendship with bocce ball. When the sun sets, the fun begins! Click below to look at our calendar for next month’s location. *A special thank you to Randy Paden (RP Computing) for organizing these events for all to enjoy.*

Want to lower your taxes during retirement by Ida May, Lincoln Financial Advisors member SIPC

Consider investing in a ROTH Account. You pay the taxes upfront on the contributions before it goes into the account, the account will potentially grow and when you take qualified distributions (age 59.5 & hold for 5 years) out in retirement you pay no more taxes on the investment.

Where to Find Enchanting Carousels in Oregon

Take a spin on a kangaroo, frog or cow on the Oregon Carousel Trail.

The early 20th century was the heyday for carousels in the U.S., which celebrates National Carousel Day on July 25. Less than 200 of that era’s roughly 6,000 hand-painted beauties remain nationwide. Several dedicated organizations in Oregon are working to bring back the glory days of these classic carnival rides, which are also sometimes called merry-go-rounds or whirligigs.
