Virtue of the Month: CharityCharity is a giving heart, a generous way of viewing others and caring for their needs... It springs from compassion for the suffering of others, even those we don't know. Charity moves us, and we respond to their needs, giving help and kindness. We make a genuine difference in their lives. When we are charitable, we don't judge others. We give them the benefit of the doubt. Charity is caring made manifest... Charity creates a circle of love." The Practice of Charity: I feel compassion for the suffering of others. I share what I have. I give generously. I withhold judgments. I give others room for mistakes. When I see a need, I take action to help. Affirmation: I am thankful for the gift of Charity. It makes my life a blessing. Excerpt from Virtues Reflection Cards, written by Linda Kavelin Popov. Download your free audio sample of our Virtues CDs here.

Halloween Candy: a Tricky TreatTo promote community health, World of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry is hosting their annual candy exchange, from Monday-Friday, November 1-7. Kids can bring their unopened Halloween candy in and trade for toys. Kids will weigh their baskets on the scale, and the more they bring in, the more toys they get to choose! All hard candies will be donated to the Armed Forces Recruiting Centers to send overseas to troops. Kids and their families are encouraged to bring a letter or card to send with the candies as well to help encourage our soldiers during this holiday season. However, because the candy craving is unavoidable, World of Smiles would like to offer the community a few tips for maintaining good dental health, even with all that sugar: Save candy for special occasions, like holidays and other special days! After your child indulges in any and all candy on Halloween or other times, brush and floss right before bed. Parent supervision of brushing for kids under age seven is always the best idea and especially after a sugar party! Decide which candies might “disappear” the day after Halloween—especially those that are sticky. Sticky and sour candies are the very worst for teeth (even fruit snacks, fruit leathers, and some dried fruits)—it gets caught in deep grooves and wears away the protective enamel on the outside of the tooth. Chocolate is much better on the teeth! Keep sweets at mealtimes only, as a dessert, and rinse with milk or water after snacking. If your child is drawn to sweet treats, try switching to a gum that contains Xylitol, which has been shown to have many of the same benefits as fluoride, fighting oral bacteria that cause cavities! For more information about the candy exchange and World of Smiles, check out www.visitworldofsmiles.com/community or find them on Facebook, or call (503) 626-9700. Pumpkin Carving Contest At Sunset Credit UnionSunset Credit Union is holding their first pumpkin carving/painting contest and all Cedar Mill residents 12 years old and younger are eligible to enter. Simply bring the pumpkin—painted or carved—to Sunset Credit Union (1100 NW Murray Blvd. #200) October 1-28 and we’ll take a photo of the child with their pumpkin. Or you can take a photo of the pumpkin and drop it off at the credit union. First, second and third place will win prizes, but all entries will receive a free gift. Please limit to one entry per person. Winners will be notified on Monday, October 31. Music lessons for adults!Westside Music School is offering a new recreational music-making program, intended for adult beginners who would like to learn to play the organ, piano, or keyboard. This course, which includes both familiar tunes and original music, is designed specifically for hobbyists who enjoy a stress-free learning environment. The students will learn to play by chords as well as learning to read music. Also, contrary to traditional teaching scenarios, students are not required to play in formal recitals. Westside Music School provides celebrations, piano parties and similar get-togethers to allow adult students the opportunity to share music with their friends and families on a volunteer basis. Westside Music School bases this new class on the following principals: every life needs music, the non-musical benefits of playing the piano are equally important as the musical benefits, and adult students want to learn how to read music, how to play by chords and how to share this with others. A stress-free, supportive environment allows students to nurture and encourage their common love of music. Daytime and evening classes are available. Call Westside Music School (503) 626-7181 for more information.
