🍩This month’s Donuts at the Dot looked a little different!🍩

We welcomed Caleb Roberts, Stakeholder Relations & Engagement Specialist for Salem-Keizer Public Schools, to talk with us about the many ways community members can get involved in our local schools. And, with the new school year beginning Sept. 8 and 9, it’s a great time to learn more about volunteering.🙌

Volunteers might spend their time helping in a classroom, chaperoning a field trip, pitching in at a book fair, being a reading buddy, or supporting a school event. There are plenty of ways to get involved, and you don’t have to be a parent to lend your time, talents, and energy. Salem-Keizer offers volunteer opportunities for different interests, schedules, and levels of commitment.

So, thank you, Caleb, for stopping by to share more about the volunteer program and some of the other ways the SKPS team is bringing people together to support local students and schools.💙

🎶You can dance, you can jive—and we’ve been having the time of our lives in Wilsonville!🎶🙌
Over the past few weeks, we’ve spent our Thursday evenings at the Wilsonville Rotary’s Concerts in the Park, meeting our neighbors, catching up with members, and getting to know this incredible community a little better.✨Thank you, everyone, for stopping by and making us feel so welcome. We’re grateful to be part of the Wilsonville community and look forward to many more summers together.💙
Thank you for the music!🕺

Last weekend, we were honored to be first-time sponsors of the Clatsop County Fair, and what a time we had!🤠 Maps employees from Salem, Seaside, and Astoria volunteered, helping with everything from Friday night's concert (featuring Kameron Marlow and the Kruse Brothers) to Saturday's Junior Market Auction, where local 4-H and FFA youth sold their livestock projects. Maps volunteers were proud to be the facilitators, processing more than $450,000 in sales. Thanks to everyone who helped make this year's fair such a memorable celebration of community and agriculture!🫶

Heads up, South Salem members: Our branch on South Commercial will be closed this Saturday, July 25, as we get ready for the next phase of construction. We will reopen on Monday, July 27, at 9:30 AM.

Only the South Salem Branch will be closed. The exterior ATM and drive-up ATM will remain available, and other Maps branches with regular Saturday hours will be open as usual.

Thanks for your patience as we work to improve the branch experience!

🎉 Meet our Community Giveback Employee of the Month, Julia Reitzer! 🎉

Julia, a beloved member of the Maps team and Branch Manager at our West Salem Branch, brings enthusiasm and heart to everything she does—whether she's mentoring future community leaders or volunteering to launch the T-shirt cannon. 😉

As last month's Community Giveback Employee, Julia chose to donate her $100 award to CASA of Marion County, an organization that advocates for children in foster care. It's a cause so close to her heart, she even joined their nonprofit board!

"Community service is something I genuinely enjoy because it gives me the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others," says Julia. "Whether it's one hour or an entire day, I've seen firsthand how even a small investment of time can have a lasting impact. Giving back brings a sense of purpose and connection, and I truly appreciate that Maps not only supports community involvement, but actively encourages us to get out there and strengthen the communities where we work and live."

Thank you, Julia, for bringing your energy, compassion, and willingness to say "yes" wherever you're needed. We're proud to have you representing Maps in our community. 💙
