Troubling News Gives Time For Pause
It comes with sadness that I have to take some time away from Engage mere days after our launch. Details will be posted here and elsewhere in due time, suffice it to say that the economy affects some of us more directly than others.
I’ve got to disengage for the remainder of the next few weeks as my wife and I plan and scramble to ensure our economic survival and long-term financial stability. After that time, I’ll be back with the Rediviva team and will be back to work on building awesomeness for you.
Set up your RSS readers or sign up for the email announcement list. We’ll be back shortly.

Engage The Gorge is a lot of things, but one thing it is not is part of The Columbia River Gorge Commission. We document the Future Forum only because it is a great attempt at visioning what our community wants to be. It is a resource that we, as a community, can use to build upon.
After over a year of work, The Columbia River Gorge Commission has released the report detailing the Columbia River Gorge Future Forum. It’s an excellent piece of work, with a great deal of time and energy spent on distilling the thoughts and desires of the entire Gorge community.
Engage The Gorge is preparing to officially launch on Nov. 1st. However, rather than do nothing until then, I figured I’d start posting to the blog right away so that we build some interest prior to launch.
