LivGivLocal.com, Julie Elston

LivGivLocal.com is a cool new deal-of-the day coupon website that donates a serious percentage of every deal to local charities. Built on the idea that most people don’t just like to live well but they also care passionately about supporting their local causes, schools and charities, LivGivLocal creates a new way for consumers, merchants, and charities to interconnect and grow together within the community.

SunTerra EnergyBlock, Steve Curley

SunTerra EnergyBlock manufactures high thermal mass masonry insulated wall systems that absorb and release
heat in a building for a major reduction in heating and cooling expenses. Using  an extruded PVC masonry insulation connector (MiC) strip that attaches continuous rigid insulation panels to concrete block (CMU) walls, this product greatly reduces energy costs for heating/cooling by utilizing thermal heat storage.

No PubTalk in December
We know everyone is busy in December preparing for the holidays and attending other festivities, so PubTalk is taking December off. We’ll resume our normal 4th Thursday of the month schedule on January 24, 2013.

Produced by Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO), Central Oregon PubTalk celebrates the spirit of entrepreneurship in Central Oregon and provides a unique forum where business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, and advisers can network.
