McCornack Elementary Monthly meeting

A series of bird-related activities coupled with the flavorful bounty of Oregon's Wine Country, the Wings and Wine festival will be held about 15 miles west of Eugene at both Fern Ridge Reservoir and Secret House Winery in Veneta, OR.  Visit the West Eugene Wetland's booth to learn more about International Migratory Bird Day, and how wetlands are important to the survival of our feathered friends.  The booth will have hands on activities for both children and adults, and WREN will have information available about the new Environmental Education Center to be built in the West Eugene Wetlands.  To learn more about Wings & Wine activities visit  www.wingsandwinefestival.com

Six UO students, through the Environmental Leadership Program, have spent the spring volunteering with the wetland education program. They will help families answer questions like, "Why are wetlands important?" "How does pollination work?" and "Why are some plants considered weeds?" These are just some of the questions that will be answered through a series of 45 minute-long activities and games for kids of all ages and their parents. Participants can join in as many activities as they would like. For a schedule of programs & registration call Holly McRae at 683-6494.

Each year on Memorial Day, many of our cemetery families and neighbors visit the Mulkey to decorate graves and pay their respects. This year, Memorial Day falls on May 28, and we’ve arranged for two special musical performances. At 11 a.m., we’ll welcome bagpiper Lynne Jones. Ms. Jones loves piping and has played at festivals and events throughout Oregon. At noon, we’ll be joined by the Hammered Brass Quintet, a Eugene-based ensemble.
