It's a Great Week to Buy Gifts Quincy Pharmacy This week (September 13-17th) we will be donating 100% of our gift sales to Sandy Hampton at Hampton Repurposed Wood. She lost everything in the #dixiefire. Sandy was our very first vendor at Quincy Pharmacy. I approached her about selling her signs in the pharmacy months before we even opened. I knew her style was perfect for the business I hoped to create. We have absolutely loved working with her for the past four years and literally do a little happy dance every time she brings in a restock! Which was often because her signs FLEW off the shelves every time we restocked them! Her signs were a huge cornerstone of our Pharmhouse Gift Shop and it truly won’t be the same without them. She helped us get on our feet and get started —and now we want to turn around and get her back on hers. SO if you are looking for a good excuse to do some shopping this week —it is a win win week! You get that fun gift item you’ve been eyeing and 100% of your purchase goes to help Sandy start over. Regional Forest Closure Order Ended U.S. Forest Service - Plumas National Forest The USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region will end the regional closure order affecting the Plumas National Forest at 11:59 pm on Wednesday, Sept. 15.

We are in need of some adult volunteers to assist with crossing guard safety during Safe Trick-or-Treat! Send us an email at info@quincychamber.com if you're interested.* Had Enough Already? Plumas Rural Services The Plumas Rural Services (PRS) Mindful Living program is now offering stress reduction and emotional management support in the privacy of your own home. Private one-on-one video sessions introduce a variety of resources, techniques, and practical tips for anyone seeking to reduce the affects of stress in their lives and the skills and strategies to support emotional well-being. MBSR works by helping to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which acts as the brakes on the body’s nervous system, relaxing and slowing down the body’s response to stress. For more information about Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and other Mindful Living services, including Mindful Movement, Mindful Nurturing Parenting, Mindful Co-Parenting and more, visit www.PlumasRuralServices.org/MindfulLiving or contact the Program Coordinator, Leslie Wall at 530-283-3611.

Alliance for Workforce Development Huge Shout Out Mountain Mattress HUGE SHOUT OUT to Malouf Home!! We are SO grateful for their generous donation last month. When we got the devastating news of the fire sweeping through Greenville, we immediately reached out to them to see if they could assist us in providing comfort for those displaced. They sent us 100 pillows that were distributed to those that lost their homes. We are touched by their gracious donation, and hope that these pillows brought comfort for our neighbors in Greenville. Connected Communities Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship Our organization exists to bring a connection between the land and the people who use it. Helping to empower our communities to develop strategies that strengthen their economies, retain and attract residents, create local jobs and engage youth, by curating spaces that encourage healthy, recreation based lifestyles. Connected Communities has the potential to bring life back into the communities that have lost so much lately. Greenville, a stop on our Connected Communities map and an important piece of the Lost Sierra Route, will remain a priority for us. We believe that we can help this town rebuild. Breathing new life into the heart of the community while remembering the history of the land and it's people. We want to provide space for community members to connect with the land and help it heal. A space where visitors from near and far come to recreate, driving tourism dollars back into the pockets of the community. A place where youth can explore nature, learn about stewardship and play. A place for all trail users to enjoy. The community of Greenville and Indian Valley has gathered, holding public community meetings that discuss the concerns of residents and the planning stages that are to take place as rebuilding begins. SBTS staff will be attending these meetings to stay involved and up to date on the progress.
