Latest CEO Message

A bit like starting over

It might not feel like the beginning of a new year to most of you, but here at Meyer Memorial Trust we celebrate the beginning of our fiscal year on April 1. And for some reason, it always feels a bit like an opportunity to start over. Not as in Groundhog Day, more like another chance to get it right, be the best we can be. Read More

It's a happy bloomin' new year!

Posted Apr 11 2012 - 10:20am by Marie Deatherage
We can all agree, I'm sure, that March was wet, with all time historic precipitation records falling like...well, like rain in March 2012! But I must say, my evergreen clematis has never had more blooms, never looked happier! So happy bloomin' new year!

Is it really spring or is this just March Madness?

Posted Mar 21 2012 - 11:35am by Marie Deatherage
The calendar says it's spring but all we're seeing in the Pacific Northwest is cold, rain, snow, hail, sleet (while the rest of the country goes around in shorts). What's next in this stormy madness? Sorry, don't really want to talk about the weather this time. Nothing good to say. Shall we talk basketball? Are you part of a March Madness pool? MMT has one going, no money at stake, only reputations. It's too soon to call as it's only Round Two.

So what month are we in?!?

Posted Feb 8 2012 - 4:03pm by Marie Deatherage
Did your geraniums and roses ever stop blooming this winter? Neither did mine. I think those of us who are procrastinating pruners are being rewarded this year. And our early blooming camellia has never been more loaded with flowers and buds. Just astonishing. I think we're in for a year for the books, people. We can't tell by looking outside what month we're in. Let's watch what happens.

Well, we've certainly been having some weather! Whether it's snow, rain, sleet or wind, you've probably been dealing with at least one of those elements in the Pacific Northwest this week. The umbrellas are lining up outside our office door like army ants. And flooding has begun in vulnerable parts of our state. So be careful out there!

A Lengthy List of News for Lengthening Days

If you happened into downtown Portland last Saturday, chances are you ran into Santa (photo at right). Not once, not twice, but hundreds of times. When it comes to SantaCon, Portland represents. Well, not as much as Moscow, where a reported 70,000 Santas took to the streets a few years ago.

Fall Color: Not Just for Trees Anymore

Posted Oct 18 2011 - 10:37am by Marie Deatherage
Each day of glorious warm sunshine like the one we are enoying in Portland today causes us to wonder if it will be the last for a good while. But even if it is, we're beginning to see a lot of fall color in our world. I've especially been noticing the maples turning scarlet and red and crimson and vermillion and everything in between lately.

We're back! Did you miss us? We experienced a lot of sunshine since we last met so I guess we really did have a summer after all. Here's hoping we get a little more of that kind of weather before the rains set in for the duration. Today is looking pretty promising in that department, from where I sit.

Summer, Glorious Summer

Posted Aug 2 2011 - 9:31am by Marie Deatherage
Didn't I promise glorious summer weather? Now do you believe me? [Believe me, I was worried too! :)]  I love to find unusual views of summer weather, like this one through the begonia leaves and flowers spilling from the basket that hangs on my front porch. Everything looks better from there.
