WOW, 50 years! 🎉 Walker Travel and Cruises is celebrating 50 years…but not in business…in marriage. Congrats Doug and Diane Walker on this milestone. Here’s to another 50!

Non-violent, respectful, activism. Over 200 citizens showed their support of our police at the Gresham City Council meeting last week. Thank you, Warner, Warren Allen LLP, and Ryan, Mt. Hood Insurance for sharing your business and chamber stories during citizen comments to the council and city management. They were two among the many powerful testimonies.

Council meetings are posted on the City of Gresham website. 

To post a tip, email the details to gacc@greshamchamber.org. Please remember to keep it to 40 words or less.

Linda English had been cycling on Oregon’s rural roads around her home in Bend for years, but one day in 2013, she seized upon a rare opportunity. Her husband, Kevin English, also an avid cyclist, had injured himself and needed time out of the saddle to recover. That made him the perfect person to drive the shuttle car while Linda and her friends pedaled between Post — a hamlet at the geographical center of Oregon — and Paulina, a Central Oregon community about 30 miles west. (If you go, be sure to check out the awesome pastrami sandwiches at the newly renamed Paulina General Store.)
