Skyline Memorial Gardens Hosts Women’s Shelter Supply Drive

October 1-December 31, Skyline Memorial Gardens, 4101 NW Skyline Blvd.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Skyline Memorial Gardens is collecting items for the Salvation Army’s West Women’s and Children’s Shelter. This shelter provides opportunities for self-sufficiency to homeless and abused women and children through shelter and support services. Skyline Memorial makes a yearly commitment to collect supplies from October through December.

To help support women and children recovering from domestic violence, please donate Target or Fred Meyer gift cards, new or gently used luggage, pens, paper, new day planners, bedding, household items, cleaning supplies, hygiene products, diapers, and wipes.

Skyline Memorial Gardens will accept donations through December 31, drop off or call 503-292-6611 for pick-up.

You’re also encouraged to bring donations to the October Art Hour.

Skyline Gardens Art Hour

Fridays, October 14, November 11, December 9, 6-8 pm, Skyline Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, 4101 NW Skyline Blvd, free

“We believe in inviting the community to enjoy Skyline Memorial’s inspirational vistas and statuary,” says Rachel Fox, manager of Skyline Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home, a member of the Dignity Memorial® network. “The staff at Skyline Memorial Gardens feels that the tranquility of the location and its expansive vistas to the coast range are works of art in themselves. We often see people playing musical instruments, or sketching and photographing the views. This got us thinking, ‘why not invite the public in and ask them how Skyline Memorial can be an avenue for others to create art, enjoy art, and meet artists?’”

Selected works by local artist Veronica Lake will be exhibited. Lake, a local resident, uses a variety of techniques, including watercolor, acrylic, drawing, hand-painted photography, mixed media, and mural painting. She will be accompanied by Jim Dorman, a local “musical adventurer,” who brings audiences with him on a journey of discovery. He plays6-string and 12-string acoustic guitars, baritone guitar, Japanese koto, and harp guitar.

Guests will meet artists and musicians and enjoy conversation, appetizers, and wine and beer. Each Art Hour will also include speakers or art demonstrations and will vary by topic. For more information and to RSVP, please call 503-292-6611.

Sunset Credit Union introduces ‘ClickSWITCH’

We’ve all been there—your current financial institution is making mistake after mistake on your account (or simply has poor service) and you’re tired of it.  You want to leave it, but the hassle of switching everything over to a new financial institution seems daunting and too much work.

To address these problems and concerns, Sunset Credit Union has introduced ClickSWITCH.  Now you can easily move recurring payments and direct deposits to a new account—all with the click of a mouse.

“We know switching financial institutions can be a burden,” said Sunset Credit Union CEO, Rhonda Baggarley, “which is why we searched for a company that could make the process of leaving one financial institution and joining ours so easy.”

“With our new ClickSWITCH program your account information is transferred instantly and takes less than 10 minutes to do.  Since we now serve all of Washington County, we hope people will try out our ‘ClickSWITCH’ program and see what a true “local” financial institution is like.”

To learn more about Sunset Credit Union and their new ‘ClickSWITCH’ service, visit sspfcu.com or call them at 503.643.1335

Sunset Credit Union serves anyone who lives, works or attends school in Washington County.  They are located at 1100 NW Murray Blvd. #200.
