Your Chamber supports candidates
Your Chamber believes in good government as a support of good business. Clackamas County voters are fortunate to have two fine candidates from which to choose for Clackamas County Commission Position 4. Your Chamber wishes that both the challenger, former State Representative Tootie Smith, and the incumbent, Clackamas County Commissioner Jamie Damon, could serve on the Board. Each candidate has talents and experiences that would benefit the Board. Both are able advocates for rural Clackamas County and support economic development through controlled logging on government lands.

Labor Day Appreciation
 This Labor Day weekend showcased the best the Northwest has to offer - sunny warm days and cool refreshing nights forewarning that fall is just around the corner. The perfect end to summer as many of us got in one final camping trip, boating adventure or made the annual trek to Salem to enjoy the State Fair. But Labor Day is much more than a long weekend holiday to celebrate summer and ring in fall. Labor Day is a fitting celebration of the spirit and commitment of the American worker - a time to honor and celebrate the most important and valuable part of our businesses - people, our workers, the teams that help our businesses thrive and fulfill our missions each day. Labor Day has been celebrated in the United States in one form or another for more than 100 years. The national holiday was officially recognized in 1894 as a tribute to workers across the nation. There are many different traditions to celebrate Labor Day, but the best tradition for us as business owners and managers is to say thank you to our employees and let them know how much we value their work and the contribution they make to successfully meeting the needs of our customers. Let's make certain we share our appreciation in a special way as we celebrate Labor Day and then make it a habit and say "Thank You" every day.
