MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR
Hello Beaverton, welcome to another issue of The Beaverton Resource Guide. As a full-color, monthly newspaper that’s dedicated to the positive aspects of our community, you can be sure to ďŹ nd interesting and uplifting stories about what makes our city one of the best in the country (ranked #3 nationally for “Best Places to Raise a Familyâ€? in 2018 by www.livibility.com). The goal of The BRG is simple and can be easily read at the top of each page: connecting people who live, work or shop in and around Beaverton with the abundant local resources available. So whether you’re shopping and want to try out a new store or a new store that wants to reach out to new customers, The BRG is equally useful and happy to help play the role of match-maker. We also know a lot about what’s going on in the county and for those who are looking to get “Out & Aboutâ€?, we have the county’s event calendar, an exclusive with the Beaverton Farmers market, an extensive regional theatre line up, a full list of library programs as well as other announcements to help you connect to whatever interests you. The BRG is available for pickup at over 170 locations from major grocery retailers, restaurants, doctor ofďŹ ces and banks to city hall, hotels, regional libraries and the farmers market. For more information about advertising rates, current or past stories, distribution, our photo gallery and more, visit www.beavertonresourceguide.com. Thank you and I hope you had as much fun reading this issue as I had putting it together. Sincerely, Michael Wong (Managing Editor)

Small changes. Big impact. Little things in life can have a lot of impact, not only for ourselves but for our families, our community, even the world we live in. The same is true with energy. Slight shifts in when and how you use energy make a big difference. Especially when those shifts happen during high-demand times like mornings and evenings. A small change to when you run the heat, dishwasher or even take a shower can have a big impact. And PGE is here to help you
with products and programs like Peak Time Rebates and our Smart Thermostat program â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ďŹ nancially rewarding you for shifting electricity use when demand is highest. When everyone shifts just a little, it helps keep energy prices low and reliability high. It also gives us the ďŹ&#x201A;exibility to draw on cleaner, more cost-effective renewable energy to power your home. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole separate story.

Ages 6-14 years old | Two, 3-week courses, Morning or Evening session | Mondays: Jan 13, 20, 27; OR Feb 3, 10, 24 at 4:30 - 6pm; OR 6:30 - 8pm. Express kids’ creativity and build concentration by writing and drawing using Japanese Calligraphy techniques. Children will learn the basics of how to write Japanese characters or English characters with the Calligraphy brush in their own style. Kids will be taught the fundamentals of the ancient Zen art of Shodo; which is not just the way of calligraphy, but also teaches concentration, meditative calm and attention, and expression of oneself through the brush. Call or visit website for class supply list and more information.
Feb. 6,13, 20, 27 | Time: 3:45 - 4:45pm. Children explore their creative potential in a fun, playful and safe environment to learn various art techniques and create fun craft projects, which will be taken home to share with family and loved ones. The class will focus on the process rather than the product. This allows students of varying skill levels the opportunity to explore their creativity in a low-pressure environment. We will help develop their artistic ability on how to create forms of art by making new things out of old things. Your child will explore a variety of art mediums depending upon the reuse/repurposing supplies available. Our goal is to encourage each student to utilize the creative reuse (upcycling/ repurposing) method and create useful and beautiful items from materials that would otherwise be discarded. Our hope is for the students to share this process with their friends and family.
