Beaverton 125 Happenings (Current News)

Thank you to everyone who attended our Community Appreciation and Volunteer Recognition event it was a pleasure to be able to celebrate our success with those who supported our efforts!

We are pleased to announce Jack Little as the first recipient of the Harold Lodwick Citizenship Award! We cannot think of anyone more deserving! Congratulations Jack! Jack decided to donate the $2000 to the Beaverton Lion's Club towards improving the community facilities for the "youngsters" as Jack put it. He felt this is what Harold would have wanted.

Harold Lodwick Citizenship Award Update

A subcommittee of the Beaverton Special Events committee has been formed and will be known as the Awards Committee. Its’ purpose is to develop, promote and administer the Harold Lodwick Citizenship Award.

This award was initiated to recognize the outstanding contributions of Harold Lodwick to this community and will be presented to “a citizen of Beaverton or surrounding area who has demonstrated the spirit of volunteerism and community pride that was so much a part of the life of Harold”.

The awards committee has been meeting to develop a terms of reference for determining the nomination process, the qualifications of the nominee and how and when all of this will happen on an annual basis. We do know that the first Harold Lodwick Citizenship Award will be announced at the Community Appreciation and Volunteer Recognition Event of October 24 at the Beaverton Town Hall and everyone is invited to join us in this special announcement.

The awards committee will be accepting donations throughout the year and if you and a group of friends or colleagues or a community group want to hold a fundraising event with proceeds going to this award we would be happy to accept the donation. The awards committee will not be doing active fundraising for this award and will rely on personal, community and business donations to ensure that this award will last in perpetuity.
