Windermere donated
$3,650 to nonprofits in 2019
Local real estate bro-
kers, staff, and owners with
Windermere Columbia River
Gorge supported three local
charitable organizations in
the Columbia River Gorge
area during 2019. Through the
Windermere Foundation, a to-
tal of $3,650 was given to local
charities supporting low-in-
come children and families.
Granted year-round
throughout the area, dona-
tions from the Windermere
Foundation benefited The
Next Door, Columbia River
Gorge Habitat for Humanity,
and Skamania County
Christmas Basket Program.
“For more than 30 years,
our brokers in each local
area have come together
to continue Windermere’s
ongoing mission of service
to the communities in which
we live and work,” said
Scott Mitchelson, president
of Windermere Services
Company in Oregon and SW
Washington. “Their com-
mitment to helping strug-
gling children and families
is another example of how
Windermere is dedicated to
lending a helping hand to
those in need.”
Windermere Columbia
River Gorge is part of the larg-
er Windermere Foundation,
serving the Western U.S. since
1989. Along with launching
their own fundraising activ-
ities and providing personal
donations, brokers donate
a portion of every commis-
sion to the Windermere
Foundation for every home
bought or sold through
Windermere. To date, the
foundation has raised more
than $40 million in donations
supporting programs and
organizations that provide
shelter, clothing, children’s
programs, emergency assis-
tance and other services to
those in need.

Tax workshops tonight in TD
The Oregon Department
of Revenue (DOR) will host
an informational meeting
for business taxpayers and
tax professionals about the
administrative rules for
Oregon’s new Corporate
Activity Tax (CAT) in The
Dalles Wednesday, March 4.
DOR will be in The Dalles
Wednesday, March 4, 6-7:30
p.m., at the Columbia Gorge
Community College (CGCC)
lecture hall, building 2, 400
Scenic Drive.
The meetings are being
held in cooperation with the
small business development
centers at Central Oregon
Community College (COCC),
Treasure Valley Community
College (TVCC), Eastern
Oregon University (EOU) and
Columbia Gorge Community
College (CGCC).
“Our CAT team will
personally engage taxpaying
communities again in March.
We want to provide taxpayers
with the information and
tools necessary to comply
with the law and will ask
taxpayers to provide us with
feedback on the temporary
rules completed to date,”
said Nia Ray, director of
the Oregon Department of
Revenue, in a press release.
The meeting is part of a
second statewide tour by
the department’s CAT policy
team. Department represen-
tatives used input collected
from stakeholders during a
12-stop tour in fall 2019 in
prioritizing and writing the
rules. March’s meetings will
include a presentation and
discussion of the initial tem-
porary rules.
The department does not
provide tax advice, however,
attendees will have a chance
to ask questions about and
share input on the rules and
how they apply broadly to
various business scenarios.

Department of Revenue web-
site for a complete schedule.

Skyline Hospital is excited to
announce it has changed its
name to Skyline Health to better
reflect the services we provide to
our communities. Skyline is
proud to offer an array of health
care related options outside the
scope of a hospital.
We are also introducing a new
logo. The logo represents the
Columbia Gorge region with
the “S” & “H” becoming
initials, an abstract
mountain and river, as well
as a link connecting us with
our patients, community
and partners.
The rebranding reflects a
positive change for
Skyline. It shows a
modern, more current
and innovative
approach in all we do.
In this spirit, we will
continue to provide
the same level of
excellent and
compassionate care.

Breakdown:
“S”: (Skyline)
Represents an abstract “S” with
the green depicting Mt. Adams
and the blue depicting the
Columbia River.
“H”: (Health)
The dark blue running through the “S”
represents an abstract “H”.
The “S & H” together symbolizes
Skyline’s connection with
our patients, community,
and partners.
