Hello,
I just wanted to take a minute to compliment one of your service technicians. I had some minor service done on my truck yesterday and asked that someone look at a couple of areas that were of concern. Bruce not only did just that, but was kind enough to come out and explain, not only what he had done, but offer some suggestions on how to prevent the same situation in the future. I think that this is a nice touch to a vehicle service. I'm always interested in what was done or found and the opportunity to actually talk to the person working on the vehicle really adds to the experience.
Thank you and thanks to Bruce!

In HIM,
D.P.
Thank you to you and your awesome Sales Team!
Hi Bess,
I would like to send a personal "Thank You" to Mr. Van Austin for his awesome help with my recent purchase of a 2013 Ford Escape from your business.
I have found that often times when shopping for a large purchase being a single, senior, female is sometimes a challenge, but certainly NOT the case with Mr. Austin. Van was friendly, courteous and very professional while sharing his vast knowledge and answering ALL my questions.
Mr. Austin voluntarily came in on his day off to go through everything in the car with me and finalizing the entire process. (Not an easy task with this Senior and my lack of tech knowledge!!)
I just want to say "Thank You" to you and your awesome sales Team! I LOVE my new car and I am proud to refer Mr. Van Austin and Gresham Ford to any and all of my family and friends!
He even invited me to call or come back with any/all new questions that may come up in the near future. For that I am grateful.
Thank you again for the awesome, positive car shopping experience, Van!
Sincerely,
K. R. S.

It is a Proclamation!
Did you know? Governor Kitzhaber has signed a proclamation proclaiming July 2013 to be MADE IN AMERICA MONTH in Oregon and encourages all Oregonians to join in this observance.
Some interesting facts: If every builder in America increased their use of US made products by as little as 5% it would add more than 220,000 construction jobs and $14 billion dollars to the national economy. It is a little like recycling just by making a few small change we can save our planet or in this case create lots of jobs. There are really good social, economic and environmental reasons to buy American. Locally, a group of builders, manufacturers and distributors have formed the BBAC - Building a Better America Council supporting and educating other about the importance of this concept.
Since the World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer "Made in America" series aired, builders nationwide have embraced this concept with some great results! It is exciting that local builders are on the cutting edge of this concept. Don't know if you have had a chance, but Gerald Rowlett of Westlake Development Group did, a "Made in America" prototype with "American Interiors" for the Portland Home and Garden Show - there are several segments with Holly Resnick on YouTube. Watch for the "Made in Maerica" home this year at the Street of Dreams and please visit BuildingForAmerica.org for more information!!! Just like recycling, we can make a difference in our future by buying American!

We All Can Drive for Someone!
There is no greater joy than the satisfaction of doing something that makes a difference in the world we live. To do that something in memory of a loved one is even more special - just ask Tam Driscoll who lost her sister Nancy to blood cancer on June 22nd 2009. Before and since that time Tam has made it her personal mission to help find a cure and more effective treatment for blood cancers. Tam has done everything from bake sales to marathons to raise money for the cure... but, she hasn't done a "Food Truck Challenge and Test Drive Event" so with Ford Motor Company's help we are going to make that happen.
On Thursday, June 6th from 4-7pm you can do a test drive comparison. (Click Here to See Pictures from the Event) Ford vs. Toyota, Ford vs Subaru, etc and for your test drive you will:
1 - Be entered to win some really cool prizes
2 - Win a ticket for a "Free Taste" at the Food trucks.
3 - Be able to vote for your favorite Food Truck
4 - Music, Food, Fun and no pressure!!!
5 - And MOst Important earn $10 for Tam's Leukemia & Lymphoma Project. The girl is going to find a cure!
We all have been touched by the heartache caused by cancer. Just recently our Sales Manager, Jim Rodey lost his brother to cancer so like Jim and Tam we all have the name of someone special that we want to find the cure "in memory" of. So please mark this date on your calendar and simply take a Drive for the Cure!!! Bring the whole family - why cook when you can drive and taste.

"Terrific Turnaround Award"!
Bess,
Due to travel, I'm just getting around to catching up on my "Gresham Outlook" reading. I enjoyed very much your April 5 column titled "No April Fools".
I'm glad you took the space to toot your own horn for a change. What an exemplary auto dealership you've built. I'm sure you're well deserving of the many awards that have poured into your business recently. Wow! So, why doesn't Ford have an "Out of the Ashes Award", or "Terrific Turnaround Award", or "Who Are Those Guys Award"? What you have done with that dealership in a decade is nothing short of miraculous. I hope someone will tell your full 10-year story some day. It'll be a best-seller!
Congratulations!
Your Fan Club
