<br /> educational materials. Another community partner, Le Petit Gourmet/Network Charter School, will be making calaveritas
<br /> de azucar, traditional candy skulls for the event. And, as in the past, the Whiteaker Public Safety Station will be
<br /> transformed into the House of Spiders for children to walk, crawl and climb through.
<br /> The Dia de los Muertos celebration offers a unique opportunity for staff from all involved organizations to have positive
<br /> interactions with families who may not otherwise seek their services. As a true community partnership, the event relies
<br /> heavily on contributions from area businesses and volunteers. Much of the candy that will be passed out is donated by
<br /> City staff, while volunteers from local area high schools, Eugene Police Senior Patrol and the Whiteaker Community
<br /> Council will help with outreach and provide logistical support at the party. Dia de los Muertos is a free event open to all
<br /> community members. For more information, call Carmen Urbina at Centro LatinoAmericano, 687-2667, or Lupe Jungwirth
<br /> at the Whiteaker Public Safety Station, 682-8188.
<br /> Candlelight Park Neighbors Invited to Help Design Neighborhood Park
<br /> Neighbors of all ages are invited to share their vision for Candlelight Park, an 11.2-acre, undeveloped neighborhood park
<br /> located north of Royal Avenue and west of Candlelight. The meeting, which is the first in a series of public workshops, will
<br /> take place on Wednesday, October 29, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Petersen Barn, 870 Bertzen Road in the Bethel area.
