A big shout out (at least that is what it looks like Matthew Lindsey of Comcast is doing) to Sherwin Williams. It brings a community joy when a new business comes to town! Welcome to East County.
Gresham Chamber encourages you to invest 25 cents in our own back yard. To be more specific: 25 cents per 1,000 for MHCC new bond to bring more training, safety and work related investments to East County. VOTE YES ON THE MHCC BOND, please. Money well spent. Election is days away. Turn in your ballot today.

Hear Me Roar

 HEAR ME ROAR - Featuring Amy Roloff
Star of her TV documentary show 'Little People, BIG World' began in 2006. Shortly after that, Amy published her first book:
Short and Simple Family Recipes. After graduating from Central Michigan University, Amy worked in the high-tech world of Silicon Valley, taught early childhood education, married and raised four children including twins. This busy experienced stay at home mom is also the owner of a beautiful farm that hosts weddings. What hasn't she done!
Let me open your doors to new possibilities. Life is not about "just surviving," it's about
thriving and
succeeding. Sometimes remarkable opportunities just fall into your lap and other times you need determination and wherewithal to pursue them.
Amy believes her success comes from her faith and firm conviction that each person
matters, has
value and
purpose - a message she is enthusiastic to share.
In 2009, she founded the
Amy Roloff Charity Foundation, a nonprofit with a mission to "advocate for, inspire and add value to the lives of youth who face life challenges". To date, the foundation has raised over $1,000,000 and donated to multiple local and national and international charities.

Tesla - Tips for Saving Money Around the House
Install a thermostat if you have not yet done so. A thermostat will regulate the temperature of both your air conditioning and heater and will keep your bills down as a result. A timer for both your thermostat and lights will help, too.

Understanding the difference between Palliative Care and Hospice Care
Most of us have loved ones who have had Palliative Care and Hospice Care. But, do we all know what their differences are? It can be confusing. While palliative care and hospice care have a close relationship with one another, there are
key differences in their overall purpose, application, and practice. Understanding the definition and focuses of each care method helps.
