Sold Out. The rebroadcast has been highly sought after. The Business and Leaders Luncheon, featuring 12 local candidates, was sold out and inquiries to see the video have been constant. Thank you candidates for giving your time to speak to the business community. And a standing ovation to all of the business leaders that used this opportunity to learn more about the city, county, and state candidates in the Gresham area. If you missed the event, it is posted on our website and linked below. Also, see the chamber endorsement decisions in this newsletter.

It is scientifically impossible to combat pathogens and aerosols with a passive air system (HEPA, UV or updated HVAC) in occupied spaces. This is the primary reason for the global shutdown - indoor spaces were not prepared or equipped properly. |

With one of the widest geographic ranges of all the conifers, the larch family is known for its very peculiar habits: It loses its needles, more like deciduous maple or oak trees than its evergreen counterparts. Growing on mountain slopes, in valleys, and in swampy areas, larches can be found with Douglas fir and ponderosa pine companions in great masses in Eastern Oregon. They are typically a lighter green than other conifers in spring and summer, and in October and November, they dot landscapes as though a brush of yellow paint had been flicked onto a forest scene. |
