FRS Radio Training — Saturday, April 13th at 10:00 a.m.
Hello Everyone,
Just a reminder we will be having some fun this Saturday from 10 am to 12 pm at Norkenzie Christian Church located at 2530 Crescent Ave, Eugene. Please park in the back parking lot and the side door will be open for access to the training. If you don’t have an FRS radio, come anyway we will have one for you to join in. If you have FRS radios, please bring them.
After the FRS fun time, those that have GMRS radios, there will be a brief given on how to connect your GMRS radio to the local GMRS repeater.
I hope to see you there this Saturday.

Community Cottages Open House at St. Matthew’s on April 14
From St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church
4110 River Road
Finally, our dream has been fulfilled. Our garden cottages are on site, set up, and providing a home for two wonderful people! St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church is holding an open house on April 14, from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. at our Community Garden Cottages. There will be a cottage blessing and a tour of the grounds. Please join us for food, drinks, and meet our Residents.
Background:
Shortly after being called to St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church the Rev Lainie Allen felt compelled to help the unhoused in the Santa Clara neighborhood in north Eugene. Two years later, with St Matthew’s Leadership, the vision has become a reality – The Community Garden Cottages! It took a lot of planning and consulting with the city of Eugene to be sure the project is in compliance with the city ordinances.
A $60,000 grant from a Eugene business enabled the church to acquire two tiny cottages, provide electricity, and all necessary services. St. Matthew’s governing body hired a caseworker to help residents to find services, apply for jobs, and support our guests in their transition to more permanent housing. The cottages are modeled after the highly successful Hospitality Village at The Episcopal Church of the Resurrection in south Eugene, which has been a vital asset to their neighbors in that community.
