| Vicki Moen |
We’d like to take a moment to recognize a “changing of the guard”, so to speak! Vicky Moen, as of April 1st, has taken the position of Executive Director for the Gresham Barlow Education Foundation. Having been on the board of directors for the foundation for the past 10 years, she is aptly qualified. She held positions on the board as secretary and president. And being one of four generations in her family to graduate from Gresham High, she is very connected to the foundation and this community on a grass roots level. She and her husband, Greg Moen are owners of Moen Machinery on Hogan right here in Gresham so they understand the strength of community ties and buying, shopping and participating locally. We, as fellow partners in a sustainable Gresham community, welcome Vicky and look forward to her insight and direction creating a foundational springboard for our future generations.
That being said, the saying “it takes a village….” was never truer than it is today. It takes all of us pulling together to sustain our economy for the next generation of entrepreneurs and business owners. Organizations like the Gresham Barlow Educational Foundation need our support. If you’re so inclined, go to
www.gbefkids.org and make a donation today. Or, if you come to
Gresham Ford, 10% of your service bill, up to $100, or $100 per vehicle purchase can be donated to the GBEF on your behalf. All you have to do is ask! Every little bit helps!
To put it in perspective, if every family in the U.S. spent an extra $10 a month at a locally owned,
independent business, over $9.3 billion would be directly returned to our economy. It doesn’t take
much, but it does take all of us!
