Chamber in Pictures

Finishing touches on the Business Leaders Summit. Julie and Shelley are making sure there are enough seats for everyone that is attending. Two Days left and a few seats are still available.
Everyone loved the opportunity to meet Dr. Perera at the Business Leaders Luncheon in September including Brandon and Kate Harper, i9 Sports; Dr. Bob Sayson, Good News Clinic and Dan Anderson, Anderson Martial Arts.
SHOP LOCAL. Don't forget "local" means our friends to the east that are still recovering from the fire.

Defining Moments
Featured Speakers:
Ann Schatz
Meet Ann, the first female sportscaster in two major markets as she inspires audiences to challenge the status quo and develop a plan to achieve breakthrough personal and professional results.
Hear how Franz's defining moment changed the direction of his life and became a story to share and will teach us how to tell our stories. Seen on Oprah and The Today Show, he is a
New York Times bestselling author.
Lisa Sedlar
Lisa quit a great CEO job at a thriving and growing Portland grocery store (New Seasons) to start a risky new venture of her own. She has "leveraged" that insanity to keep her business momentum pushing forward, and will share her experiences and lessons with us.
Her defining moment is like no other. Dying on stage is the last thing you'd expect from an Emmy-award winning actress. Her story is a series of lively and poignant presentations that will touch and inspire any audience

Breast Cancer: Knowing the Facts
The good news, reported by the American Cancer Society this month is that death rates from breast cancer have declined almost 40% between 1989 and 2015. The report, the latest to document a long-term reduction in breast cancer mortality, attributed the declines to both improvements in treatments and to early detection by mammography. Instead of only one or two options, today there are many treatment choices that fight the complex mix of cells in each individual cancer. However, the decisions to be made - surgery, then possibly radiation, hormonal (anti-estrogen) therapy, and/or chemotherapy can be overwhelming. Read more...

Where can I take that special picture?
We have been told so many times by visitors to Tsuru Island that they did not know that there was a garden in Main City Park, but at the same time we also notice a few individuals that bring their camera and find an area to take those special family pictures. Read more...

Covered Bridges
 There's a distinct charm to a covered bridge. The sound of rushing water echoes off the walls, sunlight slants in through the windows and the traditional Howe's truss construction draws the eye up to the pitched roof. Oregon once had 450 covered bridges, many of which were constructed following WWI when steel was in short supply but wood was plentiful. Today only 50 of Oregon's covered bridges remain.
