Business News – February 2016
Business Association plans meeting, elects new boardTuesday, February 9, noon, Cedar Mill Bible Church Chapel, 12208 NW Cornell Rd.
Michael Chase will explain “GPS Marketing,” seven “almost free” DIY digital marketing tools that every small business needs to monitor and take advantage of. Chase explains, “I say almost free because they do take some time for the DIY process and time is money. On the other hand these are all free and available to everyone to use. I have over 20 years of marketing experience and have watched this process over the last seven years of doing my own marketing on the internet for my small business of website development.” The takeaway from this talk will be a self assessment tool that the audience can use to develop their own strategies for digital marketing. Chase, the founder of mfchase.com, has worked in B2B as well as B2C Sales & Marketing since 1988 and has been working with web design and marketing since 1999. The Cedar Mill Business Association has been bringing area business people together for many years. They greet 2016 with a new roster of folks ready to lead the group to even better things for the community. The new team is excited and committed to making CMBA the best that it can be this year. CMBA meets at noon on the second Tuesday monthly. Visit cedarmillbiz.com for more information.

| Weekly produce half share from Love Farm Organics, June 2015 |
Love Farm Organics is a Forest Grove organic farm operated by Amy Love and family. The farm distributes their seasonal produce to area restaurants and over 200 CSA members in the Portland area. If you prefer avoiding the farmers' market crowds and want to support local farms growing what's in season, this is a perfect option for you. If your New Year's resolution is to GET HEALTHY, this is a great way to do that by eating the highest quality and freshest produce around.
Please consider joining other families who have already signed up and participate in an ORGANIC CSA (community supported agriculture) for the 2016 season—June through November—for 24 weeks of organic produce delivered from Love Farm in Forest Grove to a central Bonny Slope pick up site. The cost for a half share for a family of two is only about $25 per week!
Memberships are now open for full shares (family of 4) costing $975; or half shares (for 2) at $575. Additionally you can purchase berry shares for $85 and salad lover shares for $125. Produce is delivered to Bonny Slope, and you'll pick up your weekly share on a specified weekday (possibly on Wednesday)—the very same day the produce is picked between designated hours such as 4 to 7 pm.
A wonderful and unique aspect about Love Farm is their CSA method: instead of pre-assembling a box for each family, the produce is delivered and set up like a little farm store, with a blackboard list of what your share includes, and there are choices! You select your own produce, and in some cases you select among a few vegetables in the same family. So if you don't like cauliflower, for example, but you'd love to try romanesco broccoli, you got it!
Amy Love and her family are dedicated organic farmers creating abundance and health for our community. The farm sells produce at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland and are conscious of the idea that Food is Medicine.
Here's the farm website if you'd like more information or to sign up right now. Please contact Linda Sawaya (linda@lindasawaya.com) if you have questions.
Families have already signed up to make a Bonny Slope pick up site a reality. Hoping you join in and get healthy eating organically!

Safe deposit boxes are a smart way to save your important documents and heirlooms. If you’re considering renting a safe deposit box to keep your valuables or important documents, here are a few things to consider.
It’s important to make sure you can access your safe deposit box for things you may need to get before a trip or on a moment’s notice. Items that take a longer time to replace such as a birth certificate or family records definitely belong in a safe deposit box.
Make sure you remember to add family members to your safe deposit box access—if you’re out of town and someone in your immediate family needs to gain access to a document that is stored in the box, the financial institution needs to know that your significant other or children are allowed to view or remove items.
Here’s a short list of things to keep in your safe deposit box:
If you’re interested in a safe deposit box, call 503-643-1335, or stop by Sunset Credit Union at 1100 NW Murray Blvd., #200.
Tuesday-Saturday 10 am-4 pm; Sunday 12-4 pm; 12505 NW Cornell, next to the Cedar Mill Library

“Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world.” Hans Margolius.
“Perceptiveness is clarity of insight. It is being observant of what is beneath the surface, and looking for deeper meaning. When we are perceptive, our understanding is intuitive and discerning. We slow down into awareness.”
The practice of Perceptiveness: I strive to have accurate insights. I observe carefully. I cultivate awareness. I nurture my intuition. I am thoughtful of the need of others. I seek to see others fully and fairly.
Affirmation: I am thankful for the gift of Perceptiveness. It helps me to see what is real.
