Our next action is in partnership with Willamette Riverkeeper as we work together to clean up a small section of this great river! See you on October 12, 8:50 am at Maurie Jacobs Park in Eugene.
Here is a quick recap of our Unity meeting on September 8, 2024.
First, we agreed to spend some time thinking about and agreeing to a statement that acknowledges indigenous history and the land the Unity of Valley sits on today. I have posted several samples from the University of Oregon. Please look at them on this Google Document: (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sCFNRotZev_z3SrB0ZkFTleXDCOHPurJFW1svxx4xT0/edit?usp=sharing). You can make comments or suggestions/preferences, but not directly in the document. Your comments will show up as suggestions. You can also simply click the add comment button. Please register your feedback/preference in this way.
Second, we agreed to change the meeting start and end times. Going forward, we will begin at 12:15 and end at 1:15pm, second Sundays of the month.
Third, this is the reminder to send Donna your Eco Tips! We agreed to provide these to the congregation. These tips are for the Unity Bulletin and should ideally have information that is sourced so that people can follow-up, learn more, or verify. Please send them directly to Donna O'Neil yogawithdonna@gmail.com
Denice Ward is now an official signature gatherer for the Watershed Bill of Rights!
Finally,
here is the scoop on the next clean up action. Please note that the Willamette
Riverkeeper and the City of Eugene Parks changed the date from 10/05 to 10/12. We will join them for a cleanup on land
starting at Maurie Jacobs Park and walking to Owosso Bridge, Delta Ponds,
Riverfront and Alton Baker Parks areas on both sides of the river. For Unity of
Valley members who want to join in this Great Willamette Cleanup, please note
that the Riverkeepers changed the date to October 12, not October 5. Feel free to register in advance at this
