The Bowers have always been active supporters in any community they have lived in their nearly 20 years of marriage and Pendleton is no exception! Susan immediately became a Board Member for the Children's Museum and co-coordinated a fund raiser for the Oregon East Symphony. The Bowers enjoy giving back to the community; as well as making investments in it for the benefit of all.
