The holidays are a wonderful and heartwarming time of year to reconnect to what truly matters – love, togetherness, friends, family, community and giving. In the true spirit of the holidays, the Santa Clara Community Organization is giving away ‘Everyone Welcome’ lawn signs. We feel that having these signs sprinkled throughout our Santa Clara community will foster and sustain a neighborhood environment that is diverse, inclusive, safe, and welcoming.
If you would like to get a sign and visibly welcome all, please email the Social Justice Committee at sjc@santaclaracommunity.org .

The sun brought out an energetic group of volunteers to spread and rake chips throughout the park. By the end of the party, several muddy sections of path were covered with fresh chips and some new paths were created.
Thank you to all who participated. If you are not familiar with this somewhat hidden park, you should visit it at 4655 Wendover St, 97404 Map/Directi0ns .
The City of Eugene Transportation Team is seeking residents who are interested in serving on the Active Transportation Committee (ATC). We are particularly interested in recruiting folks from your neighborhood, since we currently don’t have representation from your area. We would be very grateful if you were able to share far and wide with your community.
Recruitment is underway to fill vacancies for two year terms beginning in January 2023. Applicants must reside within Eugene’s Urban Growth Boundary and be willing to attend monthly meetings and read background materials provided by City staff.
ATC members are advisory to City staff and play a vital role in implementing active transportation projects in the Transportation System Plan which will shape the future of the pedestrian and bicycling system for the next 20 years and make Eugene an even greater place for people who walk and bike.
Applications and information are available on the Transportation Planning website, or @EugeneTransportation Facebook and Instagram. Applications will be accepted until November 28th at 11:59pm. For more information: Contact Willow Hamilton, Community Engagement Coordinator for Transportation Planning at whamilton@eugene-or.gov.
