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.
After two months of community painting sessions led by seasoned mural artist Margaret Dewar of the Mural Mice, the Irving community is pulling the done switch on the Growing Together mural. It’s time to celebrate!
Irving Grange will host a Mural Dedication for Growing Together on October 20th from 2-5 pm with music by salsa band Descarga 54 Sextet and local songwriter Katie Sontag. Come celebrate what community can create together at Irving Grange, 1011 Irvington Drive, Eugene.
