1. Don't forget to register for the Oregon Main Street Conference, Oct 2-4 in Astoria. I am particularly excited about our line-up of speakers and I know our host community, Astoria, will be an excellent showcase for on-going downtown revitalization efforts.We are once again offering free registration to staff, board, and volunteer members from our Oregon Main Street network communities, but pre-registration is required at:
 
http://2013mainstreetconference.eventbrite.com/ ( http://www.2013mainstreetconference.org/ ) 
 
We are also offering 2 pre-conference sessions on Oct 2, "For Board Members Only," to help board members of downtown programs across Oregon identify and discuss pressing issues for local programs and boards, and "Main Street Bootcamp" for those who are new to the Main Street Approach or need a refresher course.
 
2. Deadline is approaching for the Diamonds in the Rough grant program, Oct 31. For additional info, see our website at www.oregonheritage.org or contact Kuri Gill at kuri.gill at state.or.us.
 
3. Really cool business cluster - check out this website. Zingerman's started out as a deli in Ann Arbor MI. They spun off a bakery, roadhouse, etc. Maybe inspiration for helping businesses in your community?   http://www.zingermansdeli.com/
