To commemorate and celebrate one full year at 135 Commercial St NE, we have teamed up with the organizers of the Eugene Marathon to offer something SUPER special. In addition, we have exciting updates about the bridges linking Salem's downtown parks and a chance for you to offer your insight on creating a vibrant downtown.

THREE PARKS, TWO BRIDGES, ONE COMMUNITY
Community - a group of interacting people sharing an environment and organized around common values and social cohesion. Intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks, and a number of other conditions may be present and common.
We feel there is a real sense of "Community" happening in Salem and our philosphy is to remain highly involved. We care about our downtown neighborhood. We support local student athletes and offer adult walking and running clinics. We receive frequent referrals from the medical and the recreationally active communities and provide a valuable service by assisting patients, clients and members with comfortable walking and running shoes. Our experienced staff offers sound advice to people who spend time on their feet or have goals to spend more time on their feet! True to our motto over the last eleven years, we are "Bringing Willamette Valley to Its Feet!"
In addition to our regular retail jobs, we volunteer on committees created to improve and enhance our local community. We invite our customers, friends and community members to be informed of what's happening and get involved.
Three Parks, Two Bridges, One Community
Gallagher Fitness Resources has been intimately involved in the Union Street Railroad Bridge Conversion Project that will safely and aesthetically connect Riverfront Park to Wallace Marine Park. We are also in support of the proposed Minto Island Bridge for bicycle and pedestrian use. We fully acknowledge and are aware of the concerns of those not necessarily in favor of the project. For the last six years we have been actively involved with this bridge project and remain hopeful that it will come to fruition. Our goal and our passion is to increase awareness and support toward the construction of the bridge and the connecting pathways into Minto as soon as possible.
In the spirit of health, well-being and community livability, it is truly in the best interest of all park users to commute and recreate safely between the parks. Community support and momentum is better than ever and we extend our invitation to all to continue and strengthen the support for this important project.
We invite you to join us. Here are three ways to get involved. Be aware that the Salem City Council will make a decision about designs in March, 2009. Your input is important and will be influential. All are welcome and encouraged to attend this council meeting.
