Building and Encouraging Minority Leaders New Scholarship Opportunities Thanks to a Generous Donor Generous partners are among us. When asked to sponsor a minority student scholarship for Leadership Academy,  Junki and Linda Yoshida enthusiastically said “yes” and exceeded the original request.  Thanks to their generosity, up to five students of color can apply for scholarships to the 2021 class. Details in the fall.

What a wonderful example of shopping local. Larry, the home owner, needed a new shop. He shopped local for a contractor and found McCord Construction . While there are finishing touches still left, Larry also buys plants, statuary, and paint locally. Gresham residents know how to support local businesses.  Thanks Larry!

Well done Steve Brown, new Rotary President. He conducted his first executive meeting two ways,virtually and six feet apart in the Chamber conference room. The main topic of discussion might have been the annual Steak Fry. Fundraisers for non-profits are difficult. Help where you can.
