Business News for June 2012
Westside Music adds theater campActing and the theater have long been known to fascinate, entertain, and foster personal growth in young people. This summer, Westside Music School is excited to offer a theater camp for youngsters. In this fun and intense course of work, students will be introduced to the necessary skills of focus, improvisation, character development, speech, stagecraft, and most importantly, self-confidence. All skill levels are welcome as new and exciting techniques will be introduced by veteran actor, director, and teacher, Mr. Terry Spivey. Additionally, Westside’s new guitar instructor, Andrew Becker, will be offering several guitar camps and classes this summer: Intro to Guitar—a great introduction for the beginning guitar student; Guitar Camp—where students will explore guitar fundamentals and be introduced to a wide variety of repertoire and styles; and Rock Band Camp—each group will learn three to four ‘covers,’ write an original song, receive private guitar lessons, and be introduced to various instruments and equipment. A wide variety of piano and keyboard classes and camps are also available for children and adults, including a MIDI music workshop, Ensemble Workshops, Young Composer Workshops, Understanding Chords, “Meet the Composer” Music Camp, as well as Introductory Classes for Beginners of all ages. Information on summer classes and camps is available at the school website: www.WestsideMusicSchool.org or by calling 503-533-5100.

Dinihanian’s Farm Market opens this weekendThe Farm Market at Dinihanian’s will open this weekend. Hours are 10-6 daily. Co-owner Lillian Logan says, “We will have strawberries, eggs, and a small amount of produce, not sure what else. We still have some CSA shares available as well if people would like to sign up.” Your CSA is a subscription farm that offers weekly baskets of seasonal produce from the Cornell Road farm and from their partners around the area, including farms in Beaverton, Hood River, Sauvie Island, Dixie Mountain, and Yakima. This minimizes risk of a crop failure and offers greater variety to customers. Find out more at http://yourcsa.com Hoffman Academy of Music moves, adds classes

Small Business Resource PartnersAccording to a survey recently conducted by The UPS Store ® franchise network, most small business owners want to work with other small business owners who best understand their complex needs. Almost 75 percent of survey respondents say it is important to have support from a business resource that understands their issues because they, too, are a small business owner. Yet, only 52 percent of small business owners currently work with such a resource. “Our small business customers face their own unique set of daily challenges,” said Tim Kimble, who owns The UPS Store located at 10940 SW Barnes Rd. “As a network made up of small business franchise locations, we understand. The UPS Store serves as a local resource for small business owners in the Portland/Beaverton area, as well as across the country.” Despite the rise of digital advertising and social media, direct mail is still a key marketing strategy for thirty-one percent of small business owners. Interestingly, larger small businesses rely on direct mail more frequently than others—the more revenue and employees a business has, the more likely they are to use direct mail. “The UPS Store offers small business owners a unique blend of scale and intimacy,” said Tim. “With more than 4,300 locations nationwide, 80 percent of the U.S. population lives within 10 miles of a The UPS Store center, yet every one of our locations, including Portland’s, operates like a small business—because it is.” In addition to professional printing services, The UPS Store franchise network offers a variety of services to help with the logistics of running a small business including, mailboxes with a real street address, packing and shipping services, direct mail, and notary services. The UPS Store is located at 10940 SW Barnes Rd. For additional information, visit www.theupsstorelocal.com/3379 or call 503-646-9999. Summer at SantoshaThis summer, Santosha Yoga is adding the Creativity of Imagination Yoga to their new Kids Camps, a program that looks to integrate yoga and creative play for children. Santosha is also excited to offer their first Boot Camp. Want to get up at six o'clock every morning for two weeks to get fit for the summer? Find more info on Boot Camp and Santosha’s Kids Camps at santoshaforeverybody.com. Santosha hopes that the entire community will plan ahead and reserve the third weekend in September for Global Mala. Last year, individuals came together for the benefit of The Water Project and Amnesty International to complete from one to 108 sun salutations outside at the Village Fountain. All ages—from kids to seniors—participated to create and promote peace. The event’s time will be finalized soon and available through Santosha and later editions of the CM News.

Hoffman Academy of Music will be moving to the Saltzman Village mall at the southwest corner of NW Cornell and NW Saltzman at the end of June. The Academy, which has been located on Thompson Road near Bonny Slope Park since 2008, will grow from five to eight music studios with this move. The additional space will allow the Academy to better service their existing students and provide music instruction to even more children and adults in our community.
Excellence is giving our best to any task we do and any relationship we have. Within us are many possibilities. Excellence hones our talents and turns them into gifts for the world. Excellence requires us to practice humility by learning from mistakes. Each time we do something, we seek to improve it, to keep raising the bar. Excellence is effort guided by a noble purpose. It is ongoing mastery. It flows when we are doing what we love. The perfection of a seed is the fruit that grows from it. Excellence in our lives brings our gifts to fruition.
The Wine Cellar wine shop and neighborhood tasting room is relocating! After nearly ten years at the back side of the building on Cornell Road, The Wine Cellar will be moving just slightly east to 525 NW Saltzman Road (in the old Scrapbook Attack space). Wine Cellar owner Erin Palmer began looking for a space nearly a year ago. It was important to stay in the area, Palmer says; “Cedar Mill has always been welcoming and supportive of our small business. When we found out we had to move, we wanted to take this opportunity to really improve our offerings and be an even bigger part of the neighborhood.”
