 Music sets the mood and tone. As was the case of these musicians at the Business Excellence Awards luncheon 2 years ago. Ethan Chatov of Chatov Law LLC (front left) joined fellow attorneys, setting a great mood with their chamber quartet. Not the typical stereotype lawyers are often associated with.
Not sure who looks the happiest to be at Try Local Tuesday...Sue Hughes,
Resolutions;
Pastor Harold Fuller or special guest and part owner of the
Gresham GreyWolves, Seattle Seahawk Punter, Jon Ryan. Great time at
Sherwin Williams and
Crunch Fitness, both hosting Jon Ryan.
All 490 Chamber members could be nominated for a Business Excellence Award, including the four at this table: Christina Price, Edward Jones; Shelley Burns-Giusto, Burns Feed Store; Sue Hughes, Resolutions and Karen Johnston, All About Automotive. Nominate your favorite business today (and it just might be your own.). (photo courtesy of Photo Images by Susan Gould)

Member Tips, Tools & Press Releases

Is your business winter-ready? Click here to find steps you can take to prepare in case we get hit again with wind or ice this winter.
Two simple easy recipes for non-SLS shampoo and conditioner. Shampoo: Mix 1 TBS baking powder to 1 cup water. This cleans and leaves your hair shiny. Conditioner: Mix 1 TBS vinegar to 1 cup water. Want them to smell wonderful, add 1 drop essential oil.
Find a form (or two!) of exercise you enjoy. If you're totally bored with your workout routine, start exploring different forms of exercise! It's easier to do and stick with the things we enjoy.
