Gresham Historical Museum Board of Directors

Food pantries and homeless shelters are most commonly thought of during the holidays. But many non-profits need support year-round and are fun to belong to. The board of the Gresham Historical Society & Museum, pictured above, had fun hosting a recent AM to introduce many members for the first time, to the museum. Membership is a great idea for a stocking stuffer. Click below for a list of our chamber non-profit members.

Make Your Winter Warmer With Oregon Fondue

📷 : Bella Media/Urban Fondue

Here’s how to find the fixings

that make for a unique, festive meal.

The merry, interactive nature of sharing a pot of cheese fondue makes for an unforgettable, belly-pleasing gathering. And by “fondue” we mean the creamy, mind-popping experience featuring world-class ingredients. What’s more, a road trip to gather the cheese, wine and brandy from the source for an Oregon-inspired fondue will take you deep into the corners of the state where a rich alpine influence still thrives.
