Happy Valley 2023 On The Move

HAPPY VALLEY ON

THE MOVE

With a variety of events, thriving businesses, and residents engaged in community life, Happy Valley is taking chances and offering an experience like no other.

A PLACE WHERE LOCAL BUSINESSES SHINE

As president of the Happy Valley Business Alliance (HVBA), I network with business leaders to help them grow and thrive. Businesses are an integral part of our community’s history and our ability to work collaboratively allows us to not only boost clientele and visitors to our own storefronts, but also establish ourselves as a group that can contribute to the greater good.

Business owners in Happy Valley consistently demonstrate an affinity for the City and desire to be part of an extended network. In the Happy Valley Magazine, you’ll see just how connected people are and how our community benefits from working together. Many of the services you frequent in Happy Valley are owned by residents that have established roots here and have a vested interest in seeing the City flourish. It is because of this deep love for Happy Valley that our City is so desirable.

Our values and community spirit are second to none. We encourage one another and want to keep innovation and optimism in the forefront. Time and time

again, we see the City supporting HVBA businesses, the HVBA supporting the community, and the community committed to spending their dollars locally. We certainly build each other up and put people first.

I personally invite you to attend an HVBA meeting to hear from cutting-edge motivational speakers, business advisors, and coaches. It is a great way to connect with the City and its partners, and for you to learn how you can promote your business and increase your community involvement. We meet at 7:30 a.m. on the fourth Wednesday of every month at City Hall. Learn more about our group at www.hvba.biz. We hope to see you soon!

WELCOME HOME

As Mayor of Happy Valley, I want to welcome you to the City and to a community that is active, passionate, and engaged at the local level. From our beautiful parks, welcoming neighborhoods, entertaining events, and thriving businesses, this magazine serves to not only showcase the many services and amenities the City offers, but it also offers a glimpse into the activities, people, and happenings that make Happy Valley one of the most desirable places to reside.

Despite the changes over the years, Happy Valley has kept its small-town feel where you can still rely on a community event or visit to a local business to reconnect you with a familiar face. It is the best of both worlds, with new experiences always around the corner yet comfort in the community we belong.

I couldn’t be prouder to serve as Mayor and represent a community that is dedicated to fostering a future of progress and new encounters while preserving the best of what we all hold dear.

- Tom Ellis, Mayor

YOUR CITY COUNCIL

For 20 years, my wife and I have called Happy Valley home. Reflecting on our time in the City, I truly can’t imagine a better place to be. With its robust recreational programs, excellent schools, beautiful parks and trails, and programs focused on the resident experience, the City has deservingly earned its accolades and positive reputation. At the center of it all is a community that is dedicated to its surroundings and committed to preserving a way of life that encourages opportunity, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging.

As Mayor, my promise has always been to ensure that our City remains fiscally responsible and that growth is sensibly managed. Despite its changes over the years, Happy Valley remains a welcoming place that values people and the contributions they offer. Residents are at the heart of who we are, and I believe this sentiment extends to the business owners, employees, and visitors that we as a Council and the greater community of Happy Valley embrace. Our future remains bright in Happy Valley as a direct result of the dedication of us all to foster a place that values one another and emphasizes the need for meaningful relationships and the ability to prosper. With this in mind, I envision Happy Valley in the next 20 years and beyond, to continue offering residents the chance to experience life at its best.

Happy Valley is the embodiment of what community is all about. Sure, we have common goals and we certainly value livability and safety, but looking more deeply, it is Happy Valley’s connections amongst people that really stands out. As a husband and father, I know that my family is creating memories here that far surpass a simple commute to and from a destination around town. We’re establishing roots that are shaping who we are and provide an opportunity to be part of something greater. With so many events and activities throughout the year, a parks and recreation program that is growing by leaps and bounds, and a passionate community that really cares about what the future holds, it is clear this City offers a foundation that encourages us to be active, contributing participants.

As a Councilor, I advocate for what will not only position Happy Valley as a strong municipality now, but also that which will solidify its success in the future. By valuing community and supporting local businesses, I believe we will continue to cultivate a place that puts people first and makes space for these important connections. We certainly all can help shape Happy Valley’s future and I’m proud to be one piece of the larger collective that is our shared history.

When we moved here 20 years ago, it was because Happy Valley was a sleepy little town with great schools, lots of trails, and attractive neighborhoods. We may not be as sleepy as we once were, but today we boast some amazing parks and nature areas, excellent shopping and restaurants, wonderful citysponsored activities, and many more friendly neighbors.

As a City Councilor, it is so satisfying to stand at the back of the crowds at events like Concerts in the Valley and watch all the residents having an excellent time. It is clear these events are important to families as they are brought together and given a chance to make memories their kids will reflect on many years from now when they think about their childhood. How wonderful to offer these great familyfriendly activities, many within walking distance for thousands of folks. The Independence Day activities, Oktoberfest, summer concerts, and the holiday tree lighting ceremony are just a few of the events that our residents and my own family treasure.

As I think about the future, I am incredibly excited about the growth of east Happy Valley. We have an opportunity to create a new downtown, from the ground up. Even better, we’re designing a new regional park right next door, providing job opportunities, shopping, dining, and outdoor activities in a walkable neighborhood. And the cherry on top? A future community center! These will all enhance the future of Happy Valley for generations to come.

David Golobay

As I reflect on my experiences in Happy Valley, I am struck by how interconnected our community is. From events, programs, school activities, sports, and everything in between, there is something to be said about how we as residents consistently come together. When my wife Dawn and I began running Sun Glow Heating and Cooling, we knew we offered more than just a service. Like so many businesses in the City, we too recognized the importance of building meaningful relationships - not only with customers, but with our staff, other service providers, and the greater community. Businesses in

Happy Valley truly understand this and have made it a point to support one another and even give back. In doing this, many of our City’s favorite places to patronize have helped create even more opportunities for residents to connect.

As a City Councilor, I have the tremendous privilege of seeing the bigger picture as it relates to how different factors complement one another to make Happy Valley one of the best cities around. As I look to the future, I am excited to see new businesses come to Happy Valley and I am proud to be part of the efforts to help bring a community center and a bustling downtown space to fruition. I am inspired by the innovative spirit of this community and believe Happy Valley will continue to be an example of what a City should aspire to.

If you were to look up the word community in the dictionary, I believe you would see a picture of Happy Valley. From the abundant green spaces to the ball fields and farmers markets, Happy Valley brings families and friends together every day. I love the 4th of July celebration at Happy Valley Park with all the rides, activities, and snacks one can enjoy after the neighborhood parade. The music and fireworks make the entire day a celebration to remember. I also love the connection between neighborhoods with the trail system that keeps expanding. My kids can jump on their scooter or bike and navigate to a friend’s house without having to cross a busy street. I also appreciate the message boards and social media groups that keep us up to date on current events and happenings, along with a solid safety watch that every neighbor can be a part of.

A few years back, I decided I wanted to be involved in the future of Happy Valley, so I volunteered to be on the Planning Commission for the City. That turned into working on some of the steering committees and boards where I have been part of the decision-making process for our future community center and downtown area. I want my kids to feel a pull to Happy Valley, so that they might come back and raise their own families here one day. Beyond coaching kids’ sports teams and volunteering, I decided to run for City Council to try and make an even larger impact in the community I love so much. I can’t wait to get to work and keep making this amazing community so desirable for families to raise their young ones. I love this place and believe it lives up to its name - Happy Valley!

ROCK ON, HAPPY VALLEY!

Amid stage lights, amps, and laughter echoing from the nearby splash pad, the community gets a front row seat to some of the best musical acts in town as Concerts in the Valley enters its 25th season this year.

Coordinated by Happy Valley Parks and Recreation, the City’s multi-week performance series at Happy Valley Park is a staple to summertime living. Families and friends gather each Thursday night as bands take to the stage to offer live musical entertainment. With food and beverage vendors on site and local businesses showing support for the events by way of sponsorships, the experience provides a comprehensive evening of music and fun for the entire family.

THE EARLY DAYS

The summer of 1998 was one for the record books when Summer Concerts in the Valley debuted. Linda Sasson, a resident serving on what is now the Parks Advisory Committee, saw a need to bring the community together and wanted to help create a fun event. She spearheaded the concerts and helped secure vendors and funding for those initial bands. “I wanted to do something positive for the community,” she says. “It was a lot of hard work, of course, but it was a good time.” In those initial years, the event consisted of a mixture of amateur artists sharing their music with the help of some amps and a microphone. Small groups of residents gathered for the shows, which were first held near picnic area A of Happy Valley Park. It was a low-key affair, with little ones in strollers and attendees swaying along to the tunes. Before the popularity of food carts, actual ovens were simply plugged in to cook Papa Murphy’s signature take and bake pies.

FAST FORWARD

With increasing attendance as the years went on and more bands looking to get a spot in the lineup, the City was faced with reworking the series to accommodate the growing interest. Local businesses began partnering with the City via a formal sponsorship program, which helped expand entertainment options in a more streamlined way. “The foundation set by Linda Sasson and the other residents that helped pioneer summer concerts is something to be commended,” says Community Services Director, Steve Campbell. “Those efforts set the tone and laid the groundwork for what this event is today. As the event has grown and more businesses have stepped up, I think there is an even greater shared ownership of the series itself.”

Today, genres ranging from country, pop, blues, classic rock, 80’s funk, and Latin Jazz offer concert goers a variety of sounds to groove to as residents, neighbors, and friends celebrate the season and reconnect under the sun.

MORE THAN A MELODY

In addition to musical performances, kids and teens attending summer concerts can now check out the Happy Zone, a fun-filled activity space that offers crafts, games, and action-packed excitement. Seeing a need to provide everyone in the family opportunity to enjoy the evening, the Happy Valley Parks and Recreation team introduced this space to provide rotating activities throughout the series, so there is always something for the kids to do.

Additionally, intermission becomes a show within a show as audience participants take part in fun contests and dance-offs, sponsors raffle prizes, and local talent take the stage to keep everyone entertained.

TURN UP THE VOLUME! INVESTING IN COMMUNITY

Local businesses are at the heart of Happy Valley and concerts are the perfect place to see and be seen. With sponsorships, events like Summer Concerts are catapulted to new heights and can generate new experiences for attendees as businesses join the action and connect with residents and visitors. Community events are by far the most notable way our community gathers and sponsorships provide a way for our residents to engage directly with some of the city’s most happening businesses around town. Interested in becoming a sponsor? Contact Stephani Hern at stephanih@happyvalleyor.gov today!

Plan to join us for the 25th anniversary of Concerts in the Valley which offers free, professional entertainment for all ages. Concerts begin July 13! Be sure to follow Happy Valley Parks and Recreation on Facebook when this year’s musical line up is unveiled. Concerts are festival-style seating, so attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy the tunes. Food and beverage, including beer and wine, are available for purchase on site.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE

A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE

After months of productive conversations, the City is excited to announce that it has entered into an agreement to purchase 40 acres east of 172nd Avenue for a future Community Center and Community Park. Through surveys, focus groups, and informal feedback, the City has consistently heard that this is one of the top priorities for Happy Valley residents. Over the course of the next few months, the City will be completing due diligence on the property prior to closing.

The following amenities are envisioned in a Community Center:

• Indoor Recreational Swimming Pool

• Double Court Gymnasium

• Indoor Walking & Jogging Track

• Large Community Room & Kitchen

• Reservable Gathering Space

• Weight & Cardio Spaces

• Group Exercise Room

*The list above is based on input gathered through surveys, focus groups, and a resident-led Steering Committee.

MORE TO COME

With a Community Center still very much in the early stages of development, nothing is completely confirmed when it comes to what every feature will entail. What a recreational pool will look like and how it will be used, for example, is still being discussed as is the potential for partnerships that could bring a competitive lap pool to Happy Valley.

As conversations continue, there will be many more input opportunities for residents to participate as the shape and direction of a future community center and park are imagined. The amenities referenced serve to indicate what was deemed most essential following an in-depth analysis of information gleaned from multiple resident surveys, feedback sessions, and targeted focus groups. Stay tuned for additional announcements about this project and get ready to help clarify what is needed by participating in upcoming surveys and discussion opportunities.

To stay in the know, be sure to follow Happy Valley Parks and Recreation on Facebook and keep an eye out for ongoing updates in future issues of HV News. You can also sign up for email notifications about Happy Valley Parks online by heading to www.happyvalleyor.gov/signup-for-notifications.

SAFETY IN HAPPY VALLEY

Happy Valley Police

In Happy Valley, we have a dedicated team of deputies who keep the community safe via 24/7 patrols, educational programs, and community outreach. Their engagement with the public, whether interacting with citizens, business owners or students, demonstrates their commitment to working together to maintain the safety of the community.

Police services are provided through a contract with the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) and are funded through a five-year local safety levy, voted on by residents. Through this partnership and annual contract with the CCSO, the City maintains local control and identity of our police, and ultimately saves the tax-payer money since it can utilize many of the same services this larger law enforcement agency provides. The next levy renewal will be on the ballot in November 2024. Follow the department on Facebook @HappyValleyPoliceDepartment to learn about safety developments in the community.

Community Service Officers

Community Service Officers are dedicated to enriching the lives of citizens by protecting the health and welfare of residents through fair and impartial enforcement of the Happy Valley Municipal Code. No matter the situation, our officers are eager to help residents get the information they need, and they play a vital role in keeping our community safe and a desirable place to be. Community Service Officers have helped reunite lost animals with residents, performed safety checks on homes, and supported both law enforcement and the fire department during times of emergency. The team focuses on a variety of endeavors that include consistent patrolling of City parks, ensuring businesses are compliant with licensure and construction site rules are followed, and providing liaison support to Homeowners Associations and vulnerable populations in need of wrap-around resources. Through collaboration and proactive problem-solving, Community Service Officers truly work in partnership with residents.

Clackamas Firefighters

Clackamas Fire District (CFD) #1 is one of the largest fire protection districts in Oregon. With four fire stations in Happy Valley (Stations 5, 6, 7, and 8), they can be at an emergency in a moment’s notice. With nearly 300 career and volunteer firefighter/EMS support personnel behind them, CFD #1 focuses on keeping the public safe, both through emergency response and community education. They have garnered a statewide reputation for hiring the best-educated fire service professionals in the field and for conducting comprehensive training programs that other districts seek to emulate. Some of their specialty areas, such as their outstanding swift water rescue team, confined space rescue, and innovative approach to managing their self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), have attracted nationwide attention, and set new standards for skill and leadership in the fire service.

Whether they are taking the lead during fire or providing emergency medical care, the perseverance of our Clackamas Fire District #1 firefighters is a true testament to the caliber of services they provide.

BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH SERVICE

With the right balance of care, seniors requiring residential care can live better than ever, doing the things they love most while a compassionate staff takes care of their needs and helps ensure the right safeguards are in place. These housing options often give seniors an opportunity to be part of a meaningful community, all while receiving a level of care that best fits their current needs.

In the Happy Valley vicinity, there are eight major facilities serving the senior population. Care typically ranges from assisted living where residents remain relatively autonomous with onsite access to vital services, to more secure residential placement that provides intensive, specialized care for issues that pose more significant challenges. In many facilities, all levels of care are offered, and residents can transition when needed as changes to their stability, memory, and medical needs evolve.

Recognizing the senior population as an important community group, the City of Happy Valley is committed to partnering with local care facilities to engage their residents and include them in city life. Staff from the Happy Valley Parks and Recreation Team and Happy Valley Library have even developed working relationships with many center activities directors and programming coordinators to bring about events that are beneficial.

CHECK IT OUT

Learning is a life-long pursuit. That’s why the Happy Valley Library staff partner with senior living centers around town to bring library services to residents. An advocate for ensuring everyone has access to books, librarian, Isaac Rains, helps coordinate visits to Miramont Pointe and Glenmoore Gracious Retirement Living to inspire, entertain, and engage local seniors. Rains says, “While we are there, we make new library cards for residents, bring books and other materials that have been placed on hold, and arrange a selection of various materials that they can browse and checkout. We also help residents place holds for items they are looking for.” The team can even help seniors learn to download books to read or listen to on a tablet or phone. By bringing the service to residents where they live, Rains has been able to connect seniors with a variety of items. Whether it be history, poetry, new releases, and everything in between, seniors remain connected to a plethora of stimulating resources.

LOCAL SENIOR LIVING CENTERS THE CITY IS PROUD TO WORK WITH:

HOME WITH HEART

“MorningStar” Senior Living opened in Fall 2019 and we’re honored to serve seniors in such a wellloved area,” says Tiana Jackson, the facility’s Senior Executive Director. “Our location on Sunnyside could not be more ideal both for visiting families and for our weekly outings with residents. Popular is our dining experience under Executive Chef Adam and the Happy Valley Station is right next door. Year-round, our walking club loves to stroll past the mature trees and attractive homes surrounding us. The local library is a favorite destination, as is nearby Goddard School where we watch children run and play.

One distinguishing mark of MorningStar is our commitment to service behind our walls. We have adopted Echo Ranch as a local nonprofit to which we can extend hands and hearts. Whether their therapy ponies come to us, or we travel to them, we love supporting an organization so dedicated to restoration and healing.

At MorningStar we know better than most the blessings of spending time with seniors. Love lives beneath our roof. You feel it in the air: the laughter and joy, the comfort and companionship. We invite neighbors to stop in anytime and introduce yourself. “MorningStar of Happy Valley enjoys nothing better than being a gathering place for the generations.”

IN THE COMMUNITY

The Happy Valley Library additionally holds programs that spark the interest of community seniors. The monthly Book Group, for example, is a local favorite and the American Mah Jongg meet ups are always popular events. For a complete list of offerings, be sure to check out happyvalleyor.gov/library.

The Happy Valley Parks and Recreation Department also supports seniors through partnerships with local gyms to offer targeted fitness classes and excursions that provide meaningful experiences. It also provides support through the Meals on Wheels People program. Funded through Parks Levy dollars along with donations, Happy Valley Parks and Recreation is proud to offer relief to struggling seniors by delivering reliable, nutritious meals on a weekly basis to some of our community’s most vulnerable residents. For more information about this vital program, including volunteer opportunities and details on how to donate, head to happyvalleyor.gov/meals-on-wheels.

OFF AND RUNNING

PARKS AND RECREATION SETS THE PACE

Since it’s official debut in 2020, the City’s Parks and Recreation department has been growing its programs and working to expand spaces for the community to play, learn, and grow.

With voter approval in the recent November 2022 election, parks maintenance and recreation programs continue to be fully funded through the Happy Valley Parks Levy. Revenue from this levy helps protect and maintain amenities like fields, playgrounds, trails, and picnic shelters, and provides funding for things like new parks, recreational equipment, community events, and youth and adult activities. The Parks Levy, which is voted on by residents every five years, plays an important role as it serves to connect our community with nature and promote opportunities for a variety of individual and social experiences.

As the needs of the community grow and change, so does technology and materials for various park amenities, signs, and even the accessibility options of natural areas. A perfect example of this is the more inclusive and weather resistant playground equipment recently installed throughout Happy Valley Park and Village Green Park. These new structures offer children and families safer and more conducive areas for play, complete with rubberized surfacing and equipment that better supports varying skillsets. Coming later this year, a new boardwalk, walking path, and bridge crossing is slated for Mt. Scott Creek Trail. This popular area connecting several neighborhoods will boast increased opportunities for casual strolls and trail runs.

ENGAGING COMMUNITY

Between community events and programs, Parks and Recreation has made bringing people together a priority. A natural extension of this effort is the commitment to creating spaces and experiences that are inclusive and reflective of the community. By partnering with programs, many of which are local businesses, there have been more recreation options than ever for people to choose from. Even the RecMobile, which has shown to provide in-the-moment fun illustrates this point. Whether it be a summer activity, neighborhood block party, or pop-up event like the City’s International Day of Happiness celebrations, meeting community where it is gives residents immediate access to their interests.

OFF THE BEATEN PATH

Taking field trips to a new level, Happy Valley Parks and Recreation organizes activities that encourage residents and visitors alike to set their sights on some of the wonders of nearby attractions. Participants have hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and Silver Falls, visited the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, and even enjoyed an afternoon in Oregon’s beautiful wine country. There is always something to explore when you add the convenience of Parks and Rec coordinating the logistics. All you have to do is show up!

CELEBRATING BUSINESSES IN HAPPY VALLEY

Did you know the Mayor, City Council, and members of the Happy Valley Business Alliance frequently partake in ribbon cutting ceremonies as a way to officially welcome new businesses to the City? For nearly 15 years, the City has been offering this opportunity as a way to engage new businesses and connect residents to some of the best spots in town. Happy Valley businesses contribute significantly to our local community by providing many of the goods and services we all need and enjoy. They offer places for us to gather, workout, eat, drink, and shop, and provide jobs which boost the economy and contribute to a city that thrives. The City of Happy Valley not only encourages new businesses to set up shop, but it is happy to highlight them with pomp and circumstance. By partnering with the Happy Valley Business Alliance to offer commemorative ribbon cutting ceremonies, the City aims to celebrate one slice of the American Dream.

YOUTH MAKING A DIFFERENCE

PROVIDENCE HEALTH & SERVICES

In addition to providing a full complement of inpatient, outpatient, mental health, and emergency services, Providence is a proud community partner in health and wellness. Providence also serves the Happy Valley community with primary care, immediate care, physical and sports therapy, laboratory, and diagnostic imaging services from the Providence Clackamas Medical Plaza. Learn more at ProvidenceOregon.org/Milwaukie. Is your business interested in sponsoring the Happy Valley Youth Council? Contact Youth Council Liaison, Stephani Hern, at stephanih@happyvalleyor.gov.

Established in 2010, the Youth Council is comprised of teen residents from Happy Valley. Youth Councilors collaborate on ideas to enhance the community and look to the city’s Mayor and City Council for mentorship and assistance.

The Youth Council has given teenagers a platform to voice their thoughts and lead projects that have had a significant impact on the community. Since its creation, Happy Valley’s Youth Council has developed and supported many important programs, such as the now annual Teen Driver Safety Event, Prescription Drug Turn-in, and Youth Town Hall. In recent years, the teens have also helped develop an annual Car Care Clinic and even helped promote an important community event related to school safety.

The 11-person Youth Council has also traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the National League of Cities Conference. While there, the group convenes with other youth councils from across the U.S. and attends youth delegate sessions to further their exposure to government activities.

At its core, the Youth Council offers the City a glimpse of what is most meaningful to young people and allows our future leaders the opportunity to make a positive difference in our community.

In 2022, community partner, Providence Health & Services helped sponsor the efforts of Happy Valley Youth Council. Sponsorship dollars help support multiple projects, giving youth councilors opportunity to engage the community and develop their leadership skills.

STRONGER TOGETHER

Competition is alive and well in Happy Valley, but so is cooperation amongst local business owners. In fact, there is an alliance of nearly 150 Happy Valley businesses in close association with the City of Happy Valley that have banded together to provide mutual support and to even encourage their own clientele to shop at other local merchants. It’s all about making life joyful and prosperous for all in the community we call home.

To illustrate this, we sat down with several members of the Happy Valley Business Alliance to hear more about how they are partnering with other local businesses:

Q. Give us some examples of how you network and cross-sell with other local businesses.

• Jen Anderson-Vue: My Gym Children’s Fitness Center:

A. “We look for creative ways to partner with other businesses who share the same clientele. One of our partners is We Are Cake. Both businesses engage in a lot of personal conversation with our customers, so we both have the opportunity to mention each other in conversations.”

• Darrin Hamblin: Snap Fitness:

A. “Brute Fit and Lean Fit [are] two locally owned businesses that we promote in our gym with advertising, selling of product, and allowing demos.”

• Kristeen Kalantari: Restore Hyper Wellness

A. “We love to help cross-promote other local businesses in the area! Whether it be a gym, health clinic, PT clinic, sugaring/waxing company, meal prep

AARON R. ABBOTT, PH.D. JURY BEHAVIOR RESEARCH, INC.

MY GYM SNAP FITNESS

company, juicing company, you name it… we love to help speed up recovery, help with sleep, energy, whatever it may be!

I will give you one example. We partnered up with Nourished NW, a local juice cart. She will come to our monthly beauty events and bring juices with her for our clients to try. She sends clients to us and we send clients to her. We are always in touch every month spitting ideas back and forth on how we can help one another out.”

• Dany Calcagno: Nourished NW

A. “I have heard that when building a business it is necessary to build a tribe. I have been blessed to meet four women entrepreneurs that have become “family.” I am building a “Wellness & Healing Brand” that encompasses that ideology and I would not be able to do so without the motivation, support and encouragement of these four women.”

WHY BUY LOCAL?

Locally owned businesses support our community. They employ local workers at decent wages and contribute to the support of local public infrastructure.

Locally spent dollars also have a very high return on investment. One study found that for every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $73 stays in the community, but only $43 spent at non-locally owned businesses stays in the community (Civic Economics, 2008).

Locally spent dollars recirculate back to the community in four primary ways:

• Wages and benefits for local workers;

• More contributions to local nonprofits;

• More support for the local tax base; and

• Build each other up by purchasing goods and services from other local businesses and farms.

Let’s explore the final point listed above about building each other up:

Q. What are some examples of how you and other Happy Valley businesses have worked cooperatively to build each other up?

• Genelle Holub: Face It Skin

A. “I ALWAYS first use our local businesses… I check to see who is reciprocating the support and make them a priority to do business with.”

• Dany Calcagno: Nourished NW

A. “I have made it a point to network with other Happy Valley Businesses of that partake in the wellness field. I have done cross promotion via social media platforms and done what is called “tabling” at several events at which I offer refreshments.”

• Janice Kiser: Venvino Art Studios

A. “We have been hanging our students’ artwork up in Inspire Life Chiropractic for a few years now, and

VENVINO ART STUDIOS

returned to classes at the park every spring and summer since.”

• Darrin Hamblin: Snap Fitness:

A. “We contribute to the Clackamas High School dance team and cheerleading squad, football fundraisers, and the Happy Valley Library.”

• Janice Kiser: Venvino Art Studios:

A. “We do fundraising for the local school’s PTO’s, donate to organizations such as our local Relay for Life group, and work with the City to provide art programs for Parks and Recreation and for all the events the City hosts. If you put the effort into your local community, they will support you when things get hard.”

• Kim Henderson: Northwest Love in a Box

A. “When it comes to swag, we will do it at 10% over cost for nonprofits. They are the ones that catch us when we fall and we are all about supporting them as they support our communities.

NW Love will give a box to most fund raisers in the area when asked :)

A funny story is ‘During the great toilet paper shortage’ we started including a lavender wrapped roll of TP with every box order!”

• Dany Calcagno: Nourished NW

A. “As a survivor of many different obstacles, I am focused on using my past pain for purpose. I am an advocate that believes that strength is achieved in numbers. Most recently, I donated all gratuity for the month of October (Domestic Violence Awareness Month) to the Clackamas Women’s Services organization. I have also participated in a clothing and coat drive for the Clackamas Service Center. I offer 50% menu items to the Happy Valley Elementary School students. I have a vested interest in the importance of health and wellness and offer a discount for all members who belong to OrangeTheory Fitness, Star Cycle, Restore Hyper Wellness and Barre3 Fitness.”

• Genelle Holub: Face It Skin

A. “We believe in STRONGER TOGETHER, not divided. So, Face It is a money donor to Clackamas Youth Football, as well as the American Cancer Society Gala that is put on by local businesspeople – hence my clients.”

“If I know a person in the community going through a life-altering event, I offer services or goods for them to have some self-care. I do not advertise this as it’s usually too personal for what the person is going through and not everything needs to be commercialized.’”

MAKING HAPPY VALLEY UNIQUE

It’s not just about economics. The one-of-a-kind businesses in Happy Valley contribute to its distinct character and give the people who live here a sense of pride. National chains have their place and offer a familiar and reliable experience. But for those who seek to adventure out and find fresh and creative alternatives, local business owners have put their stamp on our community’s distinctive character and self-image.

And with a tailored and personalized offering often comes a personal connection. It is not uncommon for local merchants to be on a first-name basis with their clientele.

Q. Do you have any exciting/inspirational stories about the connection you or your staff have with a customer/ client that evokes feelings of community spirit?

• Jen Anderson-Vue: My Gym Children’s Fitness Center:

A. “We experience this at My Gym every day! We are often considered a home away from home for our families. We are a place where families come to watch their children grow and thrive. We have seen children take their first steps at the gym, learn how to jump, make new friends – both children and parents. It is an

honor to be a part of helping to create this community.”

• Kristeen Kalantari: Restore Hyper Wellness

A. “This happens all the time! We grow a strong connection with almost all our members, and they become like family to us. We do more than just provide services. We get to know people’s goals, health history, family, mental and physical struggles. You name it we are here to get you to where you need to be!”

• Kim Henderson: Northwest Love in a Box

A. “I had gotten a really large order for 500 boxes. I got a phone call from my candle maker shortly after I ordered the candles for my boxes. She said, ‘I was in the middle of one of the hardest days of my life. We had put in an offer on our dream home, my husband came home and announced that he had been laid off from his job and because of that we lost our dream home. I got your email with that big order and I had so much peace. I knew that somehow we would get through this and perhaps find a new dream home.’

Honestly, this is why I support local. Oftentimes the profit margins are smaller but I believe that we all will rise together – and that lights me up!”

[Editor’s Note: Sometimes it is not the business owner that serves the customer. Sometimes, it is the customer who shows the business owner some love, as Dany explains below.]

• Dany Calcagno: Nourished NW

A. “I experienced a major brain injury in August last year. As a result, my memory and cognition has

MY GYM

RESTORE HYPER WELLNESS

been adversely affected. BUT... I have a clientele of people that understand and don’t take it personally. I have a high number of repeat customers, and I am fully supported. I am blessed to be encompassed and supported each step of the way by means of my amazing Happy Valley Community.”

A SMALLER CARBON FOOTPRINT

Locally-owned businesses make more local purchases. That means less transportation, less congestion, less packaging and pressure on landfills, and better air quality.

Q. Give us some examples of how you network and cross-sell with other local businesses.

• Janice Kiser: Venvino Art Studios:

A. “When we source products, we do our best to source them locally first… teas from Cup of Tea, jewelry from local artists. We also partner with businesses by hanging our art students’ art in their space, and their customers get to see what our program is all about.”

• Kim Henderson: Northwest Love in a Box:

A. “We do lots of collaborations for our gift boxes: Vernon/ReWood makes all of our wood boxes for NW Love out of scrap wood, jams and sauces from Eggimann Farms, and Soaps, lotions etc. from Stumptown Soaps.”

GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Small business owners and staff strive to know their customers as their neighbors and friends. They tailor their sales strategies to the needs of the local customer rather than the dictates of a nationwide marketing plan.

In turn, customers and clients get to know their local shopkeepers and staff as individuals who are personally invested in our community.

Q. What would you like HV residents to know about how local businesses give back to the community?

• Jen Anderson-Vue: My Gym Children’s Fitness Center:

A. “Our local businesses are here to not only make a living, but to also help foster the true sense of community that is unique to Happy Valley. We really get to know our local families. We want to see our families, businesses and city thrive together because we are stronger together.

• Janice Kiser: Venvino Art Studios:

A. “The thing I love most about Happy Valley is the sense of community it has. I believe that a big part of why it feels like this is because of the community that comes together and gives back. We don’t want to be just a business in Happy Valley; we want to be a part of the community.”

SUPPORT THE ENTREPRENEURS OF HAPPY VALLEY

Entrepreneurs and skilled workers offer more choices that contribute to a vibrant, competitive marketplace that promotes innovation and low prices. They invest and settle in communities that support their one-of-akind businesses and distinctive character.

A community that supports the good ideas offered by local entrepreneurs encourages more ideas and more choices for the whole community. It attracts new talent and future entrepreneurs as well as retain young professionals living in the area.

Let’s keep them here! Buying local helps create jobs for our friends and neighbors and contributes to our social, economic, and public infrastructure.

VENVINO ART STUDIOS

in return we host a gallery event where we invite all 100-150 students and families to come to their office and view all the artwork together. It has helped them spread the word about what they do.”

• Kim Henderson: Northwest Love in a Box

A: “We use Cup of Tea for our gift boxes and we do all of their swag-branded tumblers, and tote bags along with other things. GI Junk does all of our junk removal and we do all of their uniforms. Two Chicks & a Rooster Catering does all our catering and we do all of their uniforms and gifts. Metro Drywall has done all our home/office improvements, and we also do all of their uniforms and gifts.

During the pandemic, we even went so far as to share employees. A favorite was with Cup of Tea. We kept great employees when it was slow.”

REINVESTING PROFITS BACK INTO OUR COMMUNITY

Local business owners also contribute more to local charities and fundraisers than national corporations. Studies have found that locally owned retailers donated four times as much to their community compared to some larger chains. Why? Because local businesses have a vested interest in the future of our community.

Q. What would you like HV residents to know about how local businesses give back to the community?

• Kaitlin Bliss: Bliss Roofing, Inc.

A. “We have donated roofing labor and materials for the Home Builders Foundation (HBF); Clackamas Veterans Village; Good Neighbor Center; and HomePlate Youth Services. We also sponsor Nelson & Clackamas High School sports, the HV Fun Run, and donate school items for a local kindergarten classroom at Mill Park Elementary School where students are considered low income.

In 2020 we contributed a roof for A Village for One to provide a safe home for young girls and women who have been sexually exploited. They are building a second home we will roof in 2023.”

• Jen Anderson-Vue: My Gym Children’s Fitness Center:

A. “Once a year, we will do a fundraiser with Venvino Art Studios for our nonprofit arm, My Gym Foundation, which benefits children who are challenged physically and cognitively and cannot attend classes. We raise money to donate specialized equipment so they can be healthy and active at home.

That first year during COVID was really hard on us as a children’s fitness center. We had to close for a bit. Many people were also nervous about attending programs indoors and wanted outside activities. Through Happy Valley Parks & Recreation, we were able to offer classes at the park during that first fall of COVID. The classes were a smash hit and we have
