East Hill Church

Thank you East Hill Church and ALL of our non-profits for continuing to serve the needs of our community. You are truly great representatives of the people who live in and love Gresham.

Mask Mandate

Whether we like it or not, masks are now required. Businesses, like iCandy are doing their best to protect their employees and customers from the virus spreading. Remember if you walk into a business without a mask, the business will be blamed, not you. Numerous people have called the chamber wanting to report that the business is “breaking the law” by serving mask-less customers. Protect yourself, the business, and others around you by doing your best to comply with the Governor's mask requirement.

Gresham is a bike-friendly city. The Tourism Division of the Gresham Chamber was pleased to provide the Bike Farm bike racks for the many visitors that travel on two wheels. Looks like the Bike Farm (pictured above) is being well used.

All About Automotive

What is synthetic motor oil?

Synthetic motor oils, though several times more expensive than mineral-based motor oils, can improve fuel economy and provide longer intervals between changes. They also provide instant lubrication on start-up.

Spending Too Much On Advertising?

Most businesses set aside between 2% and 5% of annual revenues for advertising. So if your annual sales are $300,000 then plan on spending $6,000 to $15,000 on advertising.

Albany

Located in the heart of the Willamette Valley, Albany is a community rich in history.

From colorful Queen Anne Victorian homes (known as the “painted ladies” of American architecture) to Craftsman-style bungalows, Albany boasts more than 700 historic buildings. But that’s not all. This friendly city is also home to museums, antiques shops, a colorful carousel studio and some of the Valley’s best brews.
