Hi Members, We are very excited to announce in October we are hosting a membership campaign! This is something we have wanted to achieve for a while. The last two years derailed our original timeline. Things have aligned and we are going for it!

I am asking each of you-our members and supporters to participate in the campaign.

Starting October 1, we are kicking off a new referral program. For any referral that becomes a member, you receive $25 and are entered into the big contest for $250!

Throughout October we will be sharing testimonials, videos, statistics and more about the Chamber. Please share with all of your colleagues, friends, and clients.

Each one of you can participate whether it is referring a potential member, sharing on social media, proudly displaying you are a chamber member, increasing your membership level, or giving us a positive testimonial and review. For all those that participate, we will have a thank you event in November.

My favorite part about the chamber is that all our members and their employees can be involved whether it is serving on a committee, attending an event, volunteering at a function, sharing chamber resources, or providing us feedback. Our goals and mission are driven by our members through committees, feedback from surveys and the countless meetings we have with our businesses. Each one of you engages for positive change.

Help us be a positive change in our community. We are stronger together. Join us in our membership campaign: Engage for Change!

The Grants Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce is a catalyst for business growth, convener of leaders and influencers who make things happen, and a champion for a stronger community!

Frankie, the goat, came into Cate and Chad’s life back in 2014. She has been their constant companion and has explored 25 states and over 60,000 miles around the country. In January of 2021, Cate and Chad were traveling around Southern Utah when they received a message from a talent scout about being part of a new Discovery Plus docu-series.

“The Bond.” The docu-series, produced by Robert Downey Jr, is a show about unique human and animal relationships around the world, and features the Battle’s travels with Frankie the goat.

Last summer, a film crew followed Cate, Chad & Frankie on their “Argosy Odyssey” adventures around the West as well as documented their life here in Grants Pass. “The Bond” is now available to stream on Discovery Plus. You can follow Frankie’s adventures on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and at www.argosyodyssey.com You can find Cate’s photos and fine art in multiple places around the region. We are fortunate to have a variety of her beautiful prints available as T-Shirts and postcards in the Visitor Center. “The Chamber News” has also benefitted from her breathtaking artwork.

8/16/22 - Ribbon Cutting/Club Sixty re-opening - Club Sixty (www.clubsixty.org) senior programs began with the grand opening of the RVCOG (www.rvcog.org) Josephine County Senior Resource Center at 1150 NE 9th Street (near the corner of 9th & Savage St) in November of 2019, but many of the social activities had to be scaled back due to Covid in April of 2020. Fortunately, at a ribbon cutting on 8/16, Founder and CEO Jamie Callahan of Team Senior Referral Services, Inc. was pleased to announce that they will be RE-OPENING CLUB SIXTY for senior activities, socialization, treats, and so much more on September 13. For the next three weeks, they will be open on Tuesdays, through September 6, for tours, requests, Q&A, volunteer applications and feedback! What activities do you want to bring back, would you like to participate or volunteer? Lin Fredrickson will be the Director for Club Sixty and you can reach her at (541) 660-2591. They are so happy to bring these programs and activities back to Grants Pass. We acknowledge their partnerships, appreciate their contribution to our senior community and wish them continued growth and success!

ycorrhizal Applications has been part of the Grants Pass business community for more than 25 years, originally founded in 1995 by Dr. Mike and Eileen Amaranthus.

Mycorrhizal Applications is the world’s leading researcher, producer, and supplier of beneficial mycorrhizal soil fungi, which are utilized in every industry involving soils, plants, and people. These beneficial, sustainable symbiotic soil organisms can be applied in a variety of methods to improve plant vigor and reduce the need for water and fertilizers.

With a mission to “Harness the power and wisdom of natural systems to promote living soils and increase quality, productivity, and health in all industries involving soils, plants, and people,” Mycorrhizal Applications is powered by a dedicated team based here in Grants Pass, as well as at their satellite laboratories in St. Louis, MO, and Libertyville, IL. In 2015, Mycorrhizal Applications was acquired by Valent BioSciences, a company which had a long history working with Dr. Mike and was an ideal candidate to foster the continued growth and international expansion of this innovative Southern Oregon company. Over its history, Valent BioSciences has developed and commercialized a large portfolio of Biorational Technologies, so Mycorrhizal Applications’ technology fit perfectly into their overall strategy and philosophy.

Mycorrhizal Applications is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Valent BioSciences, and the corporation has sustained its commitment to enhance the technical capabilities of this Southern Oregon company.

Mycorrhizal Applications’ headquarters in Grants Pass is and will continue to be the world’s epicenter of mycorrhizal technology Research and Development.

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.

For our August Young Professionals Network event, we toured the Josephine County Adult Jail. While attendee space was limited to a smaller crowd, the experience and impact was huge. Sergeant Tony Basso led our group through the inner workings and operations of the Sheriff ’s Department. Most of those on the tour went in believing that facility just housed inmates. It was surprising to learn the many community services offered onsite and the different departments operating on the property.

The staff we interacted with were very passionate about protecting the community while also being attentive to the needs of those they house. We learned that the largest and most important job at all times of the day is inmate classification. The classification must be continuously evaluated to ensure the safety of inmate’s interactions.

While going to jail it not on most people’s bucket lists, we highly recommend taking a tour.

Our next event is our Networking Social on September 22nd 5:30pm-7:00pm at Oregon Pizza & Pour Authority To learn more about the Young Professionals Network, please email Christie Swafford at cswafford@grantspasschamber.org.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Dr. Sara Riechers, DDS, FAGD...Fellowship complete!

In July Dr. Riechers joined the slim ranks of dentists who have completed the Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD). FAGD stands for “Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry.” It is one of the most prestigious awards in dentistry and it designates that a dentist has achieved true excellence in their profession. Earning Fellowship takes dedication to dental continuing education (CE) beyond graduation. Only about 6 percent of general dentists in the

U.S. and Canada are AGD Fellows.

To become an AGD Fellow, a dentist must: Complete over 500 credit hours of CE, earn 350 of those 500 credits in live courses, and pass an exam equal in difficulty to board certification exams.

The Chamber is proud of her accomplishment and the education she brings to our valley. Additionally, Region 11 Academy of General Dentistry wants to send a big congratulations to Dr. Sara Riechers for receiving her Fellowship.

Please celebrate Dr. Riechers’s accomplishments by sending a message of congratulations!

~Doug Bradley, Kensington Investment Group (Holiday inn Express/ Best Western Grants Pass Inn) “I’ve worked in hospitality for a long time and in few different cities and no matter what, I always work with the Chamber of Commerce and Grants Pass is no exception. The members are a community of businesses working together to strengthen each other brought together by the Chamber of Commerce. I think the Grants Pass Chamber is one of the strongest and most supportive I’ve ever worked with. The membership is committed to the community and supporting commerce. In addition to an amazing membership Josie Molloy has proven to be a strong leader as shown by support of local businesses and an awesome Chamber team. Of all my relationships in business I value my relationship with Grants Pass Chamber above all.”

“I’ve been a member of the Chamber since 2011 and have watched how our chamber, repeatedly, steps up to support businesses in Grants Pass and Josephine County. Not only does our Chamber connect businesses to resources and marketing opportunities, but also advocates for our local community and give us a voice in government when we need it most.” ~ Kate Lasky, Library Director, Josephine Community Library District

The 12th annual Ride the Rogue cycling event will be held on September 24th 2022. This is a fundraiser for the Rogue River Greenway Foundation, a local nonprofit raising funds to assist in the development and construction of the Rogue River Greenway. The completed Greenway path will connect Grants Pass to Central Point where it will connect to the existing Bear Creek Greenway. Upon completion this path will connect 8 Cities, 2 Counties and create over 50 miles of regional connectivity through Southern Oregon.

We are working on the Greenway from many directions. Not all areas connect yet. Our goal is to have an off roadway separated trail but where that is not possible, have widened shoulders and bike lanes. We have raised more than $8 million dollars in grants, donations and in-kind services and material since our beginning in 2004. We have completed more than half of the trail. Our focus now is starting the section from Grants Pass to Rogue River.

The 2022 Ride the Rogue cycling event features three fully supported routes for cyclist to choose from. Our after ride meal is catered by Taylor’s Sausage and our beer garden features Weekend Brewery. This event is only made possible through the work of many volunteers and the generous support of our sponsors.

Ultimately the investment in the Greenway is an investment in the future of Southern Oregon. You can become a sponsor by contacting info@roguerivergreenway.org or through our Ride the Rogue registration page at www.ridetherogue.com.

OVERVIEW A new program that allows workers in Oregon to take paid time off for some of life’s most important moments that impact our families, health and safety.

Family Leave –

to care for a family member with a serious illness or injury, or to bond with a new child after birth, adoption or foster care placement.

Medical Leave – during one’s own serious health condition.

Safe Leave – for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence,

harassment, or stalking.

When will the Paid Leave program start?

Employers will begin payroll contributions in January 2023, and workers will be able to apply for benefits in September 2023.

Benefits:

$ $ $

Up to 12 weeks of paid leave per benefit year (up to 14 weeks for pregnancyrelated medical leave). You can take leave a week or a single day at a time.

If you have been with your employer for more than 90 days, your job remains protected and safe while you use paid leave. Your employer cannot penalize you for using paid leave.

Benefit payments depend on your wages and/or income compared to the statewide average weekly wage; many will receive 100% wage replacement.

Who is covered? Any employee who has earned at least $1,000

during the year prior to claiming paid leave may be eligible. Most employees working in Oregon will be covered. Tribal governments, self-employed business owners, and independent contractors may choose to participate by notifying the paid leave program.
