Wake Up Wednesday

For the last month now Dallas Chamber of Commerce has been participating in Wake Up Wednesday alongside your business neighbors. During this time we are able to connect with local business, share both struggles, and solutions, and grow as a community.

The Wake Up Wednesday today was hosted by Citizens Bank, and Jake shared with us what is new with Citizens Bank. Recently they celebrated their 60th anniversary of the first Citizens Bank opening in Corvallis. There was even a photo available for their grand opening! Jake discussed how Citizens Bank focuses on their customers and not with meeting a sales quota like bigger banks do. If they do not have the best option for you they will send you to someone who does. In this day and age, such banking transparency is appreciated!

West Valley Taphouse kicked off their Discover Dallas Wine Walkabout Series this last Sunday with over 50 participants. The goal is to partner with local business in order to drive tourism in the area. If you attended Sam would love to hear any feedback you might have. If you are interested in participating in the next Wine Walkabout on June 24th you can find out more information or purchase a ticket on their website discoverdallas.wine.

Washington Street Steakhouse and Pub is preparing for Fathers Day! For breakfast dad can look forward to big daddy chicken fried steak and eggs, porterhouse peppered pork chops and eggs, or slow smoked prime rib and eggs. If dad is a late riser then bring him in to enjoy a nice lunch or dinner of big daddy chick fried steak with mashed potatoes, porterhouse peppered pork chops with baked potato, or a slow smoked prime rib with baked potato.

Tuesday on the Square is getting ready to kick off on June 12th. The City of Dallas departments and community partners such as Pacific Power, West Valley Hospital, and many more will be on the courthouse lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm. They will be highlighting their services with plenty of fun for the whole family; good food, bouncy houses, and lots of giveaways.

MV Advancements is growing! While we love to see Dallas businesses grow it’s left them in a tight spot. They are in need of volunteers for two positions. They are looking for business that are in need of help to place their clients, as well as Assessment setters. If you would like to help with either of these positions please contact them for more information.

Last but certainly not least, Turf ground breaking. We pulled together as a community to make it happen and it all kicks off Monday at 4 pm. Ground breaking will take place at Ron August Field and everyone is invited!

If you would like to meet with your fellow business members, and hear firsthand what is going on in our community then contact the Chamber of Commerce. We look forward to seeing you there, and to our community growing!

Dallas Dutch Bros.

Dutch Brothers is a blessing in the small town of Dallas.

There has never been a time that I have asked for something from Joe or the Dutch crew and not got exactly what I was looking for. They are more than happy to not only donate product for a cause, but their time too. Whether I’m asking for coffee for teacher appreciation week, a booster event, senior all night party…it’s a yes. They go above and beyond. Just recently I asked Joe and Katie if they could come to Lacreole and be guest speakers in our exploratory class. The original guest speaker couldn’t make it. Of course they said yes! Their generosity amazes me every single time.

That spirit of giving is not just restricted to our local Dutch Bros either! The Dutch Bros website is full of stories of branches reaching out to their communities and helping in small and big ways. Dutch Bros lives by three core values: one cannot be sacrificed for another, all must work together to provide the best experience possible, and they may be a coffee company but they are in the relationship business. No wonder we have been struck by a Dutch Bros craze, and with our Dallas Dutch Bros leading the way.

They hire many young adults from the high school and colleges too. They teach more than how to run a coffee stand and keep customers happy with their latte and rebel addictions. They teach life skills, and help young people to be successful as they start their journey in the working world.

“I hold Joe Lawless, his sister Katie Fode, and their entire team in high regard. They do a lot for The Dallas Community. ❤💙” –Julie

No wonder the line at Dutch Bros. Coffee of Dallas Oregon is always so long! Communities support businesses that support the community. We are proud to have Dutch Bros as a member of the Dallas Area Chamber! Thank you Dutch Bros for serving Dallas!
