Your home’s siding isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s your first line of defense against the harsh Pacific Northwest weather. Over time, siding can crack, warp, or fade, leaving your home vulnerable to moisture damage and energy loss. That’s where professional siding replacement comes in. Why Siding Replacement MattersOld or damaged siding can lead to costly problems if left unchecked. Water can seep behind boards, causing rot and mold, while gaps and cracks can increase your heating and cooling costs.

Student activity in the Klosets are up 10% during the last trimester of school. We expect our numbers will grow in the fall. All donations are welcome to sustain our Klosets Program. Donate Here

Check Out the Numbers! Thank you to everyone who donated and supported this effort! The numbers are in…the Keizer Community Foundation is proud to support our children and educators in Keizer Schools!

The Keizer Community Foundation has a new campaign and are seeking businesses or individuals to join us in supporting our 10 Keizer Kloset Programs. We anticipate a continuum in the need locally and we are planning ahead for the next 3 years. Our goal is $30k each year to sustain our program, to benefit the children in our Keizer Schools. Children who are clothed, fed and able to maintain their dignity will do better in school. Educators will take home a full paycheck and not divert personal funds to the needs of their students. Join our campaign and help us help #keizerkids!

You know that feeling when you've spent way too much time in virtual meetings, and you'd trade your favorite coffee mug for some real face-to-face interaction? That’s called Zoom fatigue.  It turns out there's scientific evidence to back up what we've all been feeling. Recently, researchers from Austrian universities decided to take a closer look at the impact of video conferencing on our bodies and minds. They strapped participants with EEG and EKG monitors and went to town with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and similar platforms.  The results were eye-opening. Brain signal frequency, as measured by EEG, showed a noticeable increase in higher-level frequencies associated with concentration, attention, and stress during online meetings c…

Happy New Year. Remember Microsoft Paint? The simple drawing tool that many of us used to create pixelated masterpieces in our youth? It's probably not an app you use very much these days. But what if I told you there's a reason you might want to revisit it right now? Microsoft Paint is getting a serious upgrade in Windows 11 – and it's all about AI. The big news is the introduction of Dall-E 3 support to Paint, or as it's known in the app, Cocreator.  Sound familiar?  If you've seen the feature in Bing AI, you know it's a game-changer. This isn't just any old image creation feature. With Cocreator, you can tell it what you want, specify an art style, and an image based on your description magically appears. And this isn't some gi…
