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 & About�, 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)

ome 70 years ago, we came to the Great Northwest from Europe as refugees from the Second World War. 2XU ÂżUVW WDVN ZDV WR OHDUQ the new language. That I did by listening to the radio. One song was especially memorable: “I want to be happy, but I can’t be KDSS\ ÂľWLO , PDNH \RX KDSS\ too!â€? by Ella Fitzgerald.

Now, as a naturalized citizen, just imagine what our FRXQWU\ ZRXOG EH OLNH LI DOO husbands and wives would say that to their spouses - and then act accordingly! Just imagine a world where everyone would do the same!

That, of course, would be an impossibility. But there was another song that was popular more recently: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me!â&#x20AC;? by Vince Gill Happiness also needs to KDYH D EHJLQQLQJ DQG OLNH â&#x20AC;&#x153;peaceâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;loveâ&#x20AC;?, if you give it away, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wind up having more! Just give it a try! Smile and let someone pull into the VWUHDP RI WUDIÂżF DKHDG RI \RX <RXÂśOO ÂłPDNH WKHLU GD\´ DQG chances are, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pass on the gesture.

Have a happy day!

With the everyone focused on WKH FRURQD YLUXV RXWEUHDN , KDYH EHHQ DVNHG E\ VHYHUDO UHDGHUVÂś questions that relate to the current times we live in. Here are a few examples: â&#x20AC;˘ Will new vehicle prices come down amidst the current situation with COVID-19? â&#x20AC;˘ How is COVID-19 affecting car sales? â&#x20AC;˘ 'R \RX WKLQN WKH RYHUDOO ÂżQDQFLDO VORZGRZQ FDXVHG by the COVID-19 virus will lead to better pricing on new vehicles soon?

Dates: Mondays: March 16, 23, 30, April 6, 13; OR April 20, 27, May 4, 11, 18; Time: 9:30am - 12:30pm Intermediate to Advanced Level Watercolor: Are you ready to take your painting skills to the next level and bring passion to your watercolors? Join Mary Lehner to explore fresh ways to invigorate your style. We will be painting from Still Life imagery this 5-week session.

Mary will demonstrate and discuss the journey from static to lively interpretations in watercolor. This class is not so much about technique as it is about letting the watercolor medium work to your advantage by slowly learning to “go with the flow.” Students will paint from primarily still life imagery and photo research, learn to “see” the subject matter in a new light, use looseness and color contrast to enhance dimensionality, layer paints to keep colors fresh and not muddy, and use light, shadow, color reflections and composition to learn to paint in a visually expressive and interpretive style.

Feel free to call the artist directly with questions at 949-468-9574 or email her at mary@lehnerfineart. com. Check the Gallery’s website for supply list and more details.

Appropriate for any medium; Students of all skill levels welcome. Please bring all your painting supplies and a table easel.

This class will be a general themed painting class, so students can bring in any subject matter they choose. Brooke will demonstrate in the first hour, leaving time for students to integrate techniques into their own work. Each class also includes a small group critique at the end.

The Last Five Years THE STORY: An emotion-

ally powerful and intimate musical about Cathy, a struggling actress, and Jamie, a budding novelist on the brink of wild success, are 20-somethings

in New York who meet, fall in love, marry, and divorce over the span of five years. This show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, telling her story backwards while Jamie, tells his story chronologically as they both try to grapple with how and why their marriage went wrong.

THE STORY: Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in his charming converted French farmhouse, whilst his wife, Jacqueline, is away. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, and has invited his best friend, Robert, along too to provide the alibi. It’s foolproof; what could possibly go wrong?

Well.... suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited.

Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers, and consequently determined that Jacqueline will NOT leave for the weekend. Suppose the cook has to pretend to be the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook. Suppose everyone’s alibi gets confused with everyone else’s.

An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.

Don’t Dress For Dinner (This event has been postponed.

THE STORY: Hey Monty Python lovers! It’s time for something completely different… It’s The Secret Policeman’s Orange Fuzzy Ball, a team trivia night & parody story inspired by the creative talent of Monty Python.
