"Chef a la King" Matt Miller is looking for new ways to bring his industry to the "table." Would he REALLY prepare a meal using recycled products? He will unveil his cooking expertise at the Golden Whisk Awards, Try Local Tuesday, April 24th at
Riegelmann's Appliance. Get a taste of what a Try Local event can be in Gresham.
Gresham High grads Mayor Shane Bemis and Chamber President Stayce Blume, join
Gresham-Barlow School District Superintendent Dr. Perera and Principal Mike Schaefer plus 3 local TV stations to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Gresham High School. Gresham voters supported the 290 million dollar bond to replace and or repair every building in the district. Fun celebration worthy of these dignitaries, live press coverage and more.

Norwex - Chemical Free Tips
Looking for a Non-Chemical option for deodorant? Here's a great recipe: Combine 1 TBS cornstarch with 1 TBS baking soda and 1.5 TBS coconut oil. Add 1 drop essential oil.
PGE employees volunteered more than 45,000 hours in 2017 through a variety of community programs, and every April our focus turns to the environment. During our Spring into Action month of service, we'll be at it again this month pitching in on projects with Friends of Trees, SOLVE, Columbia Land Trust, Forest Park Conservancy and other environmental partners to protect our natural resources and keep Oregon a great place to live.
Doterra - Tabitha Wolz - Essential Oil Tips
Many supplements do not require approval from the FDA. To get the best quality of vitamins and supplements, look for: real whole food sources, natural ingredients and daily values that meet (not exceed) your needs.
