Good morning Neighbors,

Churchill Area Neighbors (CAN) is looking for about 5 individuals from our area to come to a "Listening Session" on envision how to accommodate growth in our city from your neighborhood perspective. All you need to do is bring your hopes, dreams, cares and concerns to this meeting and share them.

Back ground information:

A number of community members, including City of Eugene Planning Division staff, have recently had the opportunity to work with Bob Chadwick, a nationally-known conflict resolution advocate and consensus builder.  In working with Bob, we have begun to talk to one another in a different way, and are already seeing benefits to our work from this approach.  We are listening to community members, and we want to hear from you.

In late February and early March, Planning staff conducted over 100 individual interviews and two small group listening sessions about issues facing our community as we continue to grow.  We're now moving out into the community to hold listening sessions in the neighborhoods, and with various groups of people interested in a particular aspect of urban growth planning.

You may or may not know that Eugene is expected to grow by another 30,000-40,000 people over the next 20 years.  A new city project titled "Envision Eugene" is calling on the community to help us envision how to accommodate that growth. These interviews and listening sessions are building a foundation from which to run this project. The purpose of the listening session is not to record what happens or use the content in any official capacity; rather, it is to learn about the perspectives of various community members and have that inform our official process going forward.

"Your vacation should be a pleasant experience for you and your family.
returning to a home that has been burglarized is a very unpleasant homecoming.
Your time away can be more enjoyable and carefree when you know your home is being watched."

The City of Eugene "Seniors on Patrol" program offers a free home check service while you are away. You will need to complete the attached form and get it to the Eugene Police at least a week before the start of your vacation. However, if you cannot do that, the brochure has a few tips to minimize the chances of an unpleasant homecoming.
