“A little hidden treasure is what we are,” said Margie
Rudich, owner of Merry Margaret McFeeney’s, located on
the historic Oak Grove strip. “And we’d like to be a little
less hidden.”
It’s word of mouth advertising, and as Rudich puts it, “I
keep steadily growing because I really pay attention to
what my customers like and what’s important to them.”
The eclectic little shop offers a plethora of locally hand-
made items from jewelry, leather-crafts, paintings, music
and hats, all made by local vendors from ages 14 through
70. There are alsomany beautiful antiques, collectibles and
re-purposed items.
According to Rudich who both lives and owns her busi-
ness in the little town, “I want people to remember that
when they purchase locallymade items, themoney doesn’t
stop at the shop. It goes to someone who lives nearby who
now can put that back into the community and support
their family.”
She added, “It might take a little time to go to one or two
extra places, but the personal attention to gift giving, a lit-
tle treat for yourself and the opportunity to help support
your fellow community member will be worth the time
spent buying at a local business.”
Rudichwalks her talk. Not only is she on the board of the
Historic DowntownOakGroveNeighborhoodAssociation,
where they have received grants for the Trolley Trail Mar-
ket that started inMay, have been designated aMain Street
Community, and where the First Fridays have been a huge
success for the past year, but Rudich will also be starting a
food donation program in October.
“I will offer any customer who brings in two non-perish-
able food or hygiene products a discount on their pur-
chase,” she said.
All items will be donated to the Milwaukie Center.
Top off your best Oregon Duck
or Portland Timbers attire with
one of the fun, synthetic hairpiec-
es fromNewVisions Salon.
“We have so many fun, cus-
tomizable hair embellishments,”
said owner Stephanie Adams.
“People can come in and really
transform themselves visually.”
Whether for fun or necessity,
the salon boasts a variety of hair
products, including high-end
wigs and hairpieces. Over the
years, Adams has developed a fol-
lowing for womenwho have hair-
loss needs, where they can come
for a personalized wig fitting in a
relaxed, private and comforting
atmosphere.
“Wigs don’t have to be just for
those who have hair loss howev-
er,” said Adams. “Hair toppers
and extensions can be so much
fun!”
Adams assists her clients with
a never-ending list of options.
The hair toppers can add extra
layers and coverage to thinning
hair as well as dimension or
length to a style. She also carries
big, thick hairpieces from the
Live From the Red Carpet brand
that can be curled, cut and even
shampooed. “We have lots of fall
and holiday colors and hair add-
ons including tinsels, glow-in-the-
dark bling, pink for breast cancer
awareness, and of course, cool
and affordable pieces for sports
fans,” said Adams.
The options are endless at New
Visions Salon, and Adams is ex-
cited about everything new and
popular.
“I recently attended a cutting-
and-color workshop from the
Framisi product line that I carry.
At the show, I learnedmore about
all the new and upcoming hair
and make up fashions,” said Ad-
ams.
“I am always inspired and up-
dating what I’m doing — and I
still love it!”
For 30 years, the Clackamas Community Col-
lege Small BusinessDevelopment Center (SBDC)
has been providing services to local businesses.
In 2012 alone, the professionals at the SBDC as-
sisted over 1,300 entrepreneurs and existing
small business owners who wanted to start a
business or wanted to help their existing busi-
ness thrive and grow. Since 1983, the Clackamas
SBDC has assisted thousands of clients, and this
year alone (they have) helped start 32 new busi-
nesses. According to the Director of the Clacka-
mas SBDC, Rob Campbell, “We offer a variety of
classes and workshops that help businesses become more
competitive, make more money, with the purpose of creat-
ing joy and wealth for business owners.”
When you walk into the SBDC office, you are offered a
variety of resources. For existing owners, there is free con-
fidential business counseling. There are also over 75 train-
ing events for businessmanagement that are taught by the
professionals at the center. For those who are thinking
about starting a small business, the center offers a free
needs analysis and a 16-week, Small Business
Greenhouse course, an entrepreneurship class
that covers all aspects of what you need to know
to start a newbusiness or growyour existing new
business.
Clients of the Clackamas SBDC come from all
over the county, but the center is also the desig-
nated Veteran’s Center for the Portland Metro
area.
“Since the fall of 2010, 139 veterans have at-
tended the Small BusinessManagement courses,
and 48 percent of theGreenhouse class attendees
are veterans,” said Campbell. “This is our flagship pro-
gram for veterans, who also receive a discount on the
courses.”
The Clackamas SBDC will start new Small Business
Management classes on Oct. 17th and Oct 30th, and the
next Small Business Greenhouse course starts on Oct. 8th.
If you are thinking about starting a business or want to
create more growth and wealth in an existing business,
visit the SBDC at the Harmony Campus.
