Wildwood Wednesday Nights with Will

Wednesdays, after 7 pm, Wildwood Taphouse, Milltowner Center

If you’ve spent any time with Will, then you know two things about him: 1. he has great taste in beer, and 2. he likes to expand people’s horizons when it comes to beer. So, on Wednesday nights, come on in, grab a stool and a pint, and maybe, just maybe, Will will drop some beer knowledge (and samples) of some of the great beers we’ve got here at Cedar Mill!

Help make the holidays better for those in need

Now through December 16, Sunset Credit Union, 1100 NW Murray Blvd #100

Sunset Credit Union is teaming up with Family Promise of Washington County to help brighten the holiday season and support those less fortunate. One simple donation can make the season for their clients. Because Family Promise helps people of all ages, we’ve found that gift cards from places like Target, Fred Meyers, or just Visa Gift cards are the best gifts to give them.

If you’d like to help Sunset Credit Union support Family Promise, you can drop off your gift card donation any time before December 16 at our location across from the Safeway Shopping Center. If you have any questions, please contact us at 503-643-1335.

Sunset Credit Union is open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Washington County. To learn more, stop by their office, visit their website at sspfcu.com.

Tinkergarten outdoor nature play-based classes

Sessions start the week of January 16, for kids 1 ½-8, meets at Mill Pond Park in Forest Heights.

Calling all caregivers. I’m an early learning educator and am going to be leading outdoor play classes this winter. I’m excited to announce that my winter Tinkergarten classes are now open for enrollment! Click here for more information and to register.

Starting in January, we’ll turn the outdoors into a discovery lab. Each play lesson will invite kids and their grown-ups to wonder, observe, experiment, and work together, all while establishing lasting problem-solver mindsets. Plus, we’ll enjoy and warm up with Tinkergarten tea as we witness the magic that winter has to offer, and help kids learn how fun and even cozy it can be to play outdoors in all four seasons.

Our play-based outdoor curriculum guides parents on how to support an active, engaging, outdoor learning lifestyle for their family. Tinkergarten offers live sessions and on-demand, self-guided activities. We make purposeful outdoor play doable for every family.
