  5.  Here's a message from the Geiser Grand Hotel in Baker City about one thing they are doing to give back to frontline members in the region: "Healthcare workers and First Responders are on the front line in Eastern Oregon, protecting us from a new and scary global pandemic. We want to support these amazing people who are enduring unimaginable levels of stress while keeping us safe. Every front line worker is invited to enjoy an overnight stay entirely without cost through the month of April. The famed Geiser Grand Hotel, standing proudly on Main Street in Historic Baker City, is donating 600 room nights, a value of a quarter million dollars, to bring joy and comfort to these local heroes."
