Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! 





It's showtime! No question that 2020 has been a year that we certainly don’t need another hour of, but this weekend that is exactly what we’ll get. So, once you’ve donned your costume with nowhere to go and scared yourself silly by binge watching your favorite scary movies, remember to turn your clocks back one hour – else you’ll be tricked into arriving late for your Zoom meeting on Monday morning. 

Just like the last seven months, Halloween this year is a bit different. With a Blue Moon, a second Full Moon for the month, and no trick-or-treaters, the weekend will fly by quickly throwing us into November...also known to many as the start of the Holiday Season. We know you’re already thinking about the perfect gifts, so plan ahead by going to VancouverUSA.com/GrowThe360 to purchase your very own Local Gift Certificate. Grow The (360) keeps your shopping, dining, and gift-giving, all LOCAL – and contributes dollars to local businesses and retailers immediately! Check out the list of Member Merchants, and those offering discounts, here. 

Interested in gifting to all your employees or your vendors this holiday season? Connect with us to learn more about large-scale gifting and personalizing your Gift Certificates with your company’s branding. 



Coffee & Connections - Wednesday, November 4 
We've missed you! Pre-pandemic, we were able to get all of our members together for morning networking events all over the region. As we change the pace, join us at the Chamber's online connection-making event, Coffee & Connections every 1st and 3rd Wednesday. On November 4 at 8:30 AM, make sure you're camera-ready for the morning social event featuring a presentation by NW Furniture Bank. Series sponsored by Columbia Bank. Register here.

  

Pre-Register: Legislative Outlook Livestream - Friday, December 11 
Join us for a morning with community stakeholders and legislators from the 17th, 18th, and 49th Districts to discuss what is in store for 2021. Virtual doors open at 8:15 AM, allowing you to mingle around the room as if we were live thanks to our dynamic platform prior to the panel discussion to begin at 8:30 AM. We will present the Joint Business Priorities of our partners the Columbia River Economic Development Council (CREDC) and Identity Clark County (ICC). Pre-register here.

  

If you are out and about tomorrow evening or if the neighborhood goblins come to your door ‘all masked up’ remember what our friend Beetlejuice said, “Never trust the living...” Happy Halloween! 

Have a great weekend and stay safe,
