Community businesses promoted by free service 

 
We are still offering community members the opportunity to participate in the upcoming Restaurant and Shopping Guide. We need 125 of your 8 ½" x 11" restaurant, catering, coffee house, or bakery menus and flyers by May 17th. The Guide is distributed to hotels, retirement communities, hospitals and businesses in your community. This is a free service to promote community businesses. You can mail them or drop them by the Chamber office.

Voting "Yes" for safety and economic vitality

 
Let's not gamble with our lives, our economy or our futures. Saying "Yes" to Measure 3-372 on the May ballot will only cost us a tall coffee every two years while helping to ensure the construction of the failing Sellwood Bridge. We can't afford not to say "Yes".
