Seeds to Grow

Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?" Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night."

Chamber in Pictures

The Grinch will NOT steal Christmas this year from SnowCap Community Charities and My Father's House. They’ve turned their AM Breakfast scheduled in December into a decorating contest opportunity. A workspace or window is all you need. Let’s join in on the fun. For all of the fun details click here. Help our local non-profits help others!

It’s not just the restaurants that are impacted by the recent Executive Order. Fitness centers like Cascade Athletic Club are “frozen” in place. Here is their message to all of us. Don’t forget our fitness center members during Stocking Stuffer Gift Card Week, December 14-20^th.

Whoops! Too many wonderful volunteers bundled up with stocking caps. We made a mistake. Scott Thomas with Apex Solutions and Jeremy Buck with CCB Insurance Services LLC at a quick glance look alike. Jeremy was in the photo last week but Scott was in the caption. Sorry for the identity mistake!

Member Tips, Tools, & Press Releases

Are all vehicle fuel filters needing replaced regularly as maintenance?

Fuel filters that are located in the fuel pump assembly are only replaced when a new pump is needed. An inline fuel filter should be changed once a year, they can get plugged and cause undue stress to a fuel pump which can create premature fuel pump failure. On diesel engines the fuel filters need to be replaced about every other oil change and drained of water at each oil change.

Hate cleaning the screen on your cook top or vent above the stove? Its eazy peazy!

Fill a sink with hot water and add 1 TBS biodegradable laundry detergent and let it soak till water is cool. Then brush off all the gunk and rinse.

Travel Oregon

PORT ORFORD

Port Orford is a small, artistic fishing town in the Southern Oregon coast where the mountains and the forests meet the ocean. The oldest platted town site on the Oregon coast, the most westerly city in the continental U.S.

In Port Orford, halfway between Bandon and Gold Beach, you’ll find everything you’re looking for. From spectacular seascapes and mountain hiking trails with panoramic vistas, to art galleries and an authentic Victorian mansion. With ocean, lake, and river fishing, boating and kayaking, and absolutely perfect wind sailing conditions. But here, there’s a difference. You don't have to push you way through traffic jams or clogged sidewalks to enjoy it.
