On a recent sunny afternoon my daughter, I and our new dog Luke went for a hike. We had such a wonderful time enjoying our surroundings. Not only was it beneficial for us to get some exercise but we also were able to meet new people along the way.

This month, we are encouraging you to get out with your family and explore the Pacific Northwest.  Whether you hike, camp, swim, bike, or take part in local running events, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and also benefit non-profits through sponsored events.

At CPM, we are excited to sponsor local events including Newberg’s annual Tunes on Tuesday. This year, Tunes on Tuesday will collect donations for select non-profit organizations in the region.

Two of my favorite benefits of outdoor activities are breathing in the fresh Oregon air and feeling the heat from the sun. Take some time to go outside and enjoy your environment wherever that be traveling abroad or within the Pacific Northwest. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful area. Also, you never know who you will meet by trying out new experiences.

All the best,
Shannon
