img_8172 The “Welcome Home Again Parade” in Tigard on September 11th, for the 41 IBCT, ORANG was a success as we were able to feed, entertain and inform 376 soldiers of the Oregon National Guard. With the economy being as slow as it is there are more and more organizations out there asking for donations of money, goods and services. This equates to less and less donations being available so the ones that were able to help us with this parade were golden to us. So with that being said we implore all of your readers to reach out and support these local Merchants and business’s who helped us put on the Parade and Family Fun Festival . It wouldn’t have been possible without the support of:

  • Our local American Legion Post 158 members and Ladies Auxillary
  • The Tualatin VFW Post 3452
  • The City of Tigard
  • Les Schwab Tires Wash. Sq.
  • Grocery Outlet King City
  • Sonic King City
  • Tylers Automotive Tigard
  • Fraternal Order of Eagles
  • Safeway,
  • Embassy Suites Was. Sq.
  • Phoenix Inn Was. Sq.
  • Elmers Restaurant
  • Military One Source
  • State of Oregon Workforce
  • ODVA
  • Oregon National Guard
  • Rotary  Human Collective Tigard
  • Fisher Business Consulting Tigard
  • SignScope Tigard
  • Eprint Was. Sq.
  • SignCraft Tigard
  • B-Line
  • Subway
  • Jiffy Lube
  • Davidsons Casual Dining
  • Fred Meyers
  • Trader Joes
  • Toms Pancake House
  • Paradise Bakery
  • Simple Pleasures Salon & spa
  • Starbucks
  • Raz Transportation
  • 1st Student bus
  • George Morland Plumbing.

And my deepest apologies to any that I missed. We couldn’t have done it without your help and all of the volunteers. If anyone would like to make a donation to help assist with the costs for the Welcome Home Again Parade & Family Fun Festival they can send a check (Tax Deductible) to the American Legion Post 158/TS2 Committee PO BX 23482, Tigard Or 97281.

Do you know a young person who could use some help paying for college? Maybe you know a teacher searching for creative ways to teach students about American history, values and civic traditions?

Please let them know about VFW’s Voice of Democracy Scholarship Competition!

Since 1947, VFW has awarded America’s best and brightest high school students (grades 9-12) generous scholarships. More than $3 million is given to deserving students annually.

The first prize winner receives a $30,000 scholarship that is paid directly to his/her American university, college or vocational/technical school.

The deadline is fast approaching! Students need to submit their audio-essays to VFW Posts by November 1, 2010.

It’s just one of the many ways VFW is helping to instill American pride and patriotism in our next generation of leaders. We’re calling on good friends of the VFW like you to help spread the word! Post to your Facebook page.

Thanks for sharing the news. And thanks for all you do for America’s service members, veterans and their families.

Attention Veteran Entrepreneurs

Filed under: news 

The Clackamas Community College Small Business Development Center (SBDC) was recently awarded a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to develop and deliver a special version of our highly successful and long running Small Business Management Program (SBM).  This new Veterans SBM, has been designed especially for returning but recently deployed service members who are either business owners or key employees and whose business has been impacted by their deployment.  We are also enrolling veteran business owners with earlier service on a space available basis.

This program will allow each entrepreneur to work “on” and well as “in” his or her business in order to achieve business, family and personal goals.  The program is designed and proven to improve small business owners’ management and leadership skills resulting in greater success and profitability.

The program will be taught by Dr. Thomas Jones, recognized as one of the 15 most innovative business educators in the United States and a Vietnam vet himself. (US Army 1967-69 1st Air Cav, MOS 11B-40 Republic of Vietnam).

This class will be 100% fees paid. Class will begin September 16 and be completed by Dec 31, 2010.

I am attaching a flyer with more details and an application so you can see more about the program.

If you could help us get this information to our Oregon Vets. You would be doing them a great service and helping us get the word out.

Thanks for your assistance and if you, or any of your associates, have any questions please call us.
