We are excited to meet with you for the future Santa Clara Community Park. Join the design team for a virtual community meeting where we will present the master plan and phasing recommendations for the park.
Please join us for the third workshop from 6PM to 8PM on December 8th.
Bloodworks Northwest provides the blood to 100% of the hospitals in Lane County. We need your help making sure they have plenty of blood.
Blood donation remains an essential and encouraged activity as Governors Kate Brown implement new coronavirus restrictions. Blood donors have a critical role in sustaining health care through the holidays and into the new year—there is an urgent need to save lives.
Bloodworks Northwest is now testing all blood donations for COVID-19 Antibodies. Could you help COVID-19 patients? Give blood with Bloodworks December 9 – December 31 and they’ll test your donation for antibodies which are a key component of the immune system that appear in blood after fighting an infection. The testing will help identify people who may be able to donate to our convalescent plasma program and help COVID-19 patients directly. Be a COVID-19 hero and schedule your one hour appointment today.

The program for December will feature Ben Zublin from the City of Eugene’s waste prevention program.
He will share programs and ideas for recycling, composting and food waste, garbage cans, reuse and repair options for items that would otherwise go to the landfill, and any other creative ways to reduce our production of garbage.
A previous post about dog waste clean up at our new Santa Clara Community Park mentioned ‘pooper scoopers’. We want to clarify that the volunteers would not have to scoop poop. Volunteers are being asked to monitor a trash can and then take the poop bag home and put it in their trash. Here’s the post again:
From Michelle Parkins of the City’s Parks and Open Spaces Department
I am reaching to see if a member of the Santa Clara community may be interested in helping steward a trash can or dog poop can at Santa Clara Park? We as a City would like to put one out there, however currently it is not efficient for our operations staff to tend the can on a regular basis. We would provide the can (may be a small post hanging can) and the bags. The volunteer would monitor the can and empty it in their home garbage as needed. Please let me know if you or one of the neighbors may be interested in helping us keep the dog waste out of the water system and keeping the park clean.
Be well, Michelle Parkins Tree Stewardship & Natural Areas Volunteer Coordinator 541.510.4040 (cell) City of Eugene Parks and Open Space https://www.eugene-or.gov/495/Volunteer
