Jose from La Caretta in Gresham Oregon
Happy Anniversary to many members. This year marks 30 years for La Carreta of Gresham. In 1991, stamps were 29 cents, gas was $1.14, a new home was $147,200, Michael Bolton sang, "When a Man Loves a Woman" AND Jose Estrada launched his dream…..a restaurant.  If your business is celebrating an anniversary, be sure to let the Chamber know. We love to joyfully celebrate with you.

Wondering when someone is ready for hospice?
Don’t wait for the doctor – be your own advocate. Many people say they wish they would have known about hospice sooner. Have you been diagnosed with a terminal or life-limiting illness and given 6 months or less to live? If you’ve decided to forgo any curative treatment options and instead focus on comfort care, you are ready for hospice.
