Spring Event at Bair Bistro
Posted by | Comments
Forty-three members and guests of the Steilacoom Chamber of Commerce enjoyed a “Spring Evening at The Bair” on Thursday, April 22. Representing the Port of Tacoma, Connie Bacon was the featured guest speaker during the dinner. She stated that the Port is currently conducting a “nationwide search for a new CEO who is trustworthy, who will tell us the right story in business for the Port of Tacoma, who understands strategic thinking, and is a go-getter.” According to Bacon, the Port of Tacoma is “beginning to see a tiny rise in activity, but anticipates steady growth over the next five years.” She added that the Port has spent $170M to clean-up Puget Sound and Commencement Bay. There are ongoing negotiations with the Puyallup Tribe about possibly operating a terminal, as well. Bus tours of the Port of Tacoma are available to the public and scheduled every couple of months.
Dr. Adam Poyfair – Making a Difference
Posted by | CommentsDr. Adam Poyfair, a new dentist in our community, has volunteered for the Medical Teams International Dental Van. This beautiful new van is a mobile dental unit that goes directly to the schools and other sites to meet the needs of many of our students with moderate to severe dental needs. This effort is in partnership with Caring for Kids. The van services the kids at Tyee Park, Southgate and Dower, and will do a special day at Clover Park High School. The biggest problem we face is a volunteer dentist for the one day commitments. So we want to thank Dr. Adam Poyfair for making a difference in our community! Call and thank Dr. Poyfair, Light Dental Studio, 471-2222. If you are a dentist or you know a dentist who would volunteer for a day please call Diane Formoso at 253-279-9777.
