Thank you
Gresham Ford for bringing your wheels (and key sponsorship) to the first ever Gresham Sunday Parkway event. A car or truck at each of the 3 pit stops. Thank you for loaning the van as well. Great partnership.
Steve and Pam Butler, of
Oral Hull, surrounded by 80 of their "closest friends." Let's make sure that all of these wonderful members PLUS YOU are at Oral Hull in Sandy at the Friday AM. It's a few blocks from Lynn's House. Well, a few more, but close. (
FYI, it takes Lynn 12 minutes to get to work from her home. This will take you 18 minutes or so to get from Gresham.)
Perfect example of the variety of transportation modes at the successful Parkway event Sunday. Tennis shoes, bike wheels, roller skates. Great weather. Great turn out. Great first event.

Try Local First
|
 All For One!
When one business is impacted, we all are. That is why it is so important to keep up on legislation and other local matters. Just recently the businesses at the corner of Stark and Troutdale Road were notified that the major arterial (Stark Street) will be closed for 4 to 6 months. All traffic, customers and suppliers, will be diverted and forced to use detours. Of course, this is devastating news to any business during its peak season but to the Service and Restaurant establishments and their employees impacted by this closure - it could mean life or death.
