Community Village is a part of the Oregon Country Fair Family and is dedicated to education, information access, and networking for progressive social change. We create a spiritual center manifesting the Village Vision of love, peace, trust, justice, cooperation, equality, and social service. By believing in dreams, thinking of others, valuing differences, and experimenting with new ideas, we hope to expand our consciousness, growing beyond the Fair into the world at large.
WE AGREE
We agree to not engage in hear-say and to encourage others to not participate in hear-say.
We agree to speak with honor, integrity and respect about each other;
in the event we have constructive criticism to share, we will talk to each other directly,
though using another as a sounding board is OK.
We agree to try to operate from a place of trust that we do not mean each other harm.
OCF CODE OF CONDUCT
We are an association of equals. Each and every member of our community is entitled to respectful and equitable treatment by all other participants. The Guidelines apply whenever and wherever we gather for OCF activities or discussion, in person or online.
The OCF is committed to the principles of
non–violence. Mental, verbal, physical, or sexual abuse will not be tolerated.
We share reverence for the land. Stewardship is everyone’s responsibility. Please help protect the plant and animal life whose space we share and work to extend this practice beyond the OCF and into daily life.

Positive Community Kitchen Program
Below is the link for the non-profit Positive Community Kitchen Program that has been in existence in Eugene for 5 1/2 years now. At PCK teens and adults come together under the support of a head chef to prepare nutritious, organic, gluten free meals for cancer patients (or others facing a life threatening illness) and their family members. For twelve weeks the client and immediate family members receive meals delivered to their homes free of charge. Each week they receive two entrees, two soups, a hearty salad and dessert.
Contact PCK at 541-249-4942 to request further information, become a recipient of the program or to volunteer in one of many ways, including helping grow the food in our garden.
Thanks, Fran Calciano

Hi Village! PeaceJam is here again and it’s coming fast. If you’re not familiar with PeaceJam, we provide ongoing project-based peace education to schools and out-of-school communities throughout the Northwest, and each year we bring a Nobel Peace Prize winner to spend the weekend with young people at the University of Oregon. This year, our Nobel guest is Leymah Gbowee, who was instrumental in bringing an end to the 2nd Liberian Civil War. We have a one-day Junior Slam for 4th-5th graders on Saturday Feb 16th. JUNIOR REGISTRATION HERE: https://conta.cc/2F52iKw .The main event is a 2-day youth leadership conference for 8th-12 graders, with 7th graders welcome by recommendation. YOUTH CONFERENCE REGISTRATION HERE:https://conta.cc/2EBPAm7 If you’ve got young people interested in learning concrete peacebuilding skills from a world-renowned expert, this is a rare opportunity. There is still room, and to be frank, if we can’t increase our participation, this may be our last year of being able to offer it, so now’s your chance! Lastly, MS Gbowee will be giving a free public lecture at the U of O’s Straub Hall on Friday Feb 15th 6:30-8:30. All are welcome. Please email me with questions. With love and respect, Darren
