SCCO Meeting – Thursday, Oct 3, 7 PM

Posted on October 1, 2024 by Gary Haliski

SCCO Meeting
Thursday, October 3
7 PM
3280 River Rd (Messiah Lutheran Church)

Program: Braver Angels

Braver Angel’s message:
 As we separate into groups that increasingly do not even know or interact with people of differing opinions, we lose trust in our institutions, eroding the ability to govern ourselves and lowering the caliber of citizenship.
This growing trend coarsens public debate, produces policy gridlock, shrinks our capacity for goodwill, and harms our family and personal relationships. Effective self-government depends precisely on what this type of polarization destroys. We believe the American Experiment can survive and thrive for every American who contributes to the effort

Note: We promised on our mailed postcard that our October program would be a presentation about North Eugene High School by Principal Nain Muñoz. This has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict)

Also: A conversation with Ron Lamie of the Irving Grange about how SCCO can better network with the Grange.

Below is an approximate rendition of what the park should look like when completed. The recently installed pedestrian bridge connects the north and south sections of the park. Much work has been done along the park’s north side. Take a bicycle or car ride along River Loop 2 to see what has been done so far.
