The virus did not stop ON Semiconductor's tradition to honor veterans on Memorial Day. What a great show of support. Hats off to Thad Dierckes and his staff for this effort.

The reopening of Multnomah County is right around the corner. Do you have masks? Plexiglass? Directional signs on the floor? Now would be a great time to advertise as well. Mike Wiley of Hoodview News is one of the many Chamber members that can get your message out.

Graduating seniors may be leaving for college in a few months. Will their college fund be short of cash due to the lack of businesses being open and summer jobs available? Solution: Several companies in our area are hiring. FedEx Ground is looking for many employees. This company and several others in the Gresham Area are a perfect solution for the graduating senior (18 or older) to help beef up the college fund. Check the chamber Facebook page, Gresham Area Hires, for more choices.
