Our little town featured in Budget Travel!
October 26th, 2009Jacksonville, Oregon
Just across the border from California, this old gold-rush town is getting its second wind from liquid gold. With 17 wineries in the surrounding Applegate Valley, and a climate that’s ripe for growing multiple types of grapes, Jacksonville is a refuge from the tourist whirl of Napa. Herb Quady is among the residents integral to the burgeoning scene. Quady, whose father, Andrew, produces dessert wines at Quady Winery in Madera, Calif., opened the Quady North tasting room in April (255 California St., quadynorth.com). “There isn’t anyplace in California that’s nearly as cute,” Quady explains of his move. “We’re all about the bucolic southern Oregon life.” The best way to tap in is at South Stage Cellars, which stocks bottles from nine area wineries (125 S. 3rd St., southstagecellars.com). The Garden Bistro at the five-room McCully House Inn & Cottages showcases local growers of a different sort, with food products from 27 area purveyors, including cheese from the goats at nearby Pholia Farm (240 E. California St., mccullyhouseinn.com, rooms from $135). The lifestyle drew Constance and David Jesser, a chef and a commodities trader, respectively, from Sonoma five years ago to open Jacksonville Mercantile, where the shelves are filled with provisions like black-truffle-roasted almonds, meant to pair perfectly with a bottle of Quady North viognier (120 E. California St., jacksonvillemercantile.com). —Jason Cohen

My Sister’s Closet
August 6th, 2009
My Sister’s Closet (MSC) is a not-for-profit organization designed to provide no cost professional attire to individuals entering or re-entering the work force. We are a referral based organization from various companies like Temp Agencies, The Job Council, College, Universities and potential or current employers.
My Sister’s Closet was started in the mid 90′s by Bobbi Naumes, a long-time community advocate, who had an idea for a clothing cooperative that would provide appropriate attire for women (and now men) entering or re-entering the work force.
In 2006 Bobbi passed away from cancer. After being dormant for almost a decade, Cynthia revived what was once a passion for her mother and positioned MSC as a not-for-profit organization benefiting individuals in need of good, gently worn outfits for interviews and their future careers.
By appointment, two outfits are given with the assistance of a Personal Shopper to appropriately dress for the type of occupation desired for interviewing or who are recently employed .
My Sister’s Closet is committed to helping residents of Jackson County become prosperous…two outfits at a time.

How You Can Help
Become A Volunteer
My Sister’s Closet is always in need of additional enthusiastic volunteers to lighten the load, from transportation of donated goods to sorting clothing or serving as a discreet “Personal Shopper” to one of the many clients who utilize our services. Call or email today to see how you can be part of this program.
Donate Gently Used Career Wear
With 20-30 applicants served each month, My Sister’s Closet is in constant need of donated clothing, shoes and accessories. Perhaps you have perfectly lovely outfits you’re just no longer interested in wearing, or maybe you have items in the back of the closet-some still with tags-that you bought years ago and never wore.
Cynthia personally assists the bereaved by providing professional, caring and compassionate removal of clothes, making it less painful and more comforting to know items will be going to good use. (Referrals upon request)
Donate Financially
Although we may have space generously donated by Twin Creeks Adult Retirement Community we make every effort (and then some) to keep our overhead costs at an absolute minimum. MSC still has expenses to cover for our day-to- day operations. Please consider including us in your yearly donations.
If you or someone you know could benefit from the clothing services provided by My Sister’s Closet…
