e are slowly creeping into the Holiday Season! Ready or not, here we go!

My family and I participated in some of the Halloween activities this past weekend. One of the events was a Trunk or Treat sponsored by our amazing local businesses. Each of them decorated an area and handed out tons of candy to thousands of children. As we visited each spot with my kids, it was so fun as I knew all the owners and employees handing out candy.

These small business owners are the ones that show up to sponsor children’s events, youth programs, community projects and more. They also volunteer a lot of time! As consumers during the holiday season, it is our turn to give back to our local companies. Let’s support our small, local businesses and keep dollars local.

There are so many ways to support our businesses! Ways to support local include:

• Shopping local • Refer visitors, family and friends • Share and engage with social media posts • Tip generously • Leave good reviews • Support their online efforts • Buy gift cards The reason Grants Pass is such an amazing community to live and raise families is because of our generous and involved business community! I encourage you to shop local.

n September 1st 2018 it all began when my wife Jennifer and I took over the helm of the office of Michael Schwartz, OD. Even with my 14 years of experience there were some big shoes to fill; 42 years of providing amazing care to this community.

Jennifer had been in the field for nearly 22 years and together we had a road map which embraced the foundation that existed and would bring high quality of care, product and technology for the community for years to come. Rogue Family Eye Care was born on that day.

We are a full scope Optometric practice that prides ourselves on combining compassion and state of the art care to those who need help with vision problems, ocular health concerns, and vision performance needs. We provide care to all ages. Dr. Richardson has been working with pediatrics in our community for nearly 15 years. He is also a sports vision specialist, working with athletes of various backgrounds and skill levels.

Our office takes most insurances and is always accepting new patients. Our staff takes pride in making room in our schedule for patients who are experiencing eye emergencies, red eyes, and injuries. We have great referral relationships with eye surgeons and specialists in our region and throughout the valley.

The office has a great selection of frames for every budget, sunglasses for every occasion, and multiple types of contacts including bifocal lenses.

Call today to reserve your appointment and experience where compassion and care connect.

The Young Professionals Network is for young professionals in the target age range of 18-45 who are looking for networking opportunities with other young professionals, connections to the community and business leaders, community engagement, and professional development. The network holds monthly luncheons, quarterly socials, and community service projects.

Asante, Banner Bank, NiceBadge First Interstate Bank, Logan Design, Midland Empire Ins., Weekend Beer Co., People’s Bank of Commerce, Jim Sigel Automotive, Hampton Inn & Suites, and RE/MAX Integrity-Bifano Home Team

For the month of October, our Young Professionals had the pleasure of hearing Terry Hopkins of ORLA and Steam Distilling speak on Hospitality. Such an engaging presentation! Terry spoke about his humble beginnings as a dishwasher at 14 to earn money for a car. How he worked through all the positions possible in a restaurant. While attending college in pursuit of a degree in engineering, Terry continued to work in the service industry. It wasn’t until he did a job shadow for the engineering position, he was set to take that it occurred to him, “that job didn’t look like much fun!” He said he could not imagine himself doing it for a week let alone 30 years. Just like that, he quit school and made the decision to take a different path.

While many have asked “when are you going to get a real job?” Terry has made a successful career out of doing what he loves. His determination and strong work ethic allotted him countless opportunities. He says for him, “so many lessons were learned around a table.” With retirement on the horizon, being fully involved in this community is clearly a path Terry is committed to.

To kick off November, YPN will be meeting at Weekend Beer Company for our Quarterly Adopt-A-Street Clean-Up on Thursday, November 2nd, at 5:15pm. This program is so rewarding and comes with a FREE beverage following the clean-up. On the November 14th we will be heading out to RCC’S Small Business Development Center for Professional Development. If you are interested in learning about SBDC and how they can help you be more successful in business, please register.
