The Village Retirement Center just keeps on giving. Starting in January with Adopt a Cop, Alex energized her fellow residents. She shared this photo and quote with us: “I just dropped off another load of children's blankets and handmade comfort dolls, made by our residents, at the Gresham Police Station and was fortunate to see both officers Van Beek and Martin, our two 'adoptees'.” Chamber members are generous year round. Thanks for doing this, Alex.

We are one TALENTED Chamber as evidenced by Shop Girl Consignment owner, Thea Enos, pictured above. Thea performed at the recent Try Local event, Music Mondays, organized by Center for the Arts Foundation. There are many musically talented chamber members. Perhaps we should have them start a music group and compete with other chambers.  

To post a tip, email the details to gacc@greshamchamber.org. Please remember to keep it to 40 words or less.
