Meeting & Potluck Dinner

Monday, February 9, 2008
6:00 to 8:00 PM

Location:
At the home of Megan Clark & Richard Grimaldi
2210 Floral Hill Drive, Eugene

Directions: THE BACK WAY FROM I-5 (Perfect for football game days, most direct route off I-5.) Take Glenwood EXIT 191 from I-5. From the south, go to the west end of the overpass and turn right on curvy Moon Mountain Drive. If you exit from the north, you will be on Moon Mountain Drive by going straight. Next, turn RIGHT on Laurel Hill Drive and go down the hill. At the bottom, turn LEFT on Augusta, across from a sign for an alley that says 18th. Pass the school for Northwest Youth Corps, and turn RIGHT on 26th for a block, then LEFT on Riverview for a block, turning RIGHT on Floral Hill Drive. Go .7 miles avoiding the potholes and look for 2210 on the LEFT. It is faded PINK with a weeping willow tree in the side yard. If you hit Hendricks Park, you’ve gone too far. Turn around and come back, it’s the 7th house on the right from Hendricks Park that you can see, light PINK with a carport and tall shrubs to the side.

FROM TOWN Go EAST on 19th past the University of Oregon campus. Follow signs directing you to Hendricks Park. When 19th ends at Fairmount Blvd., turn RIGHT. In one block, turn LEFT on Summit and go to the top of the hill where you can see the Hendricks Park Picnic Shelter. (Do not turn left on Birch.) Stay on Summit as it curves right, becoming Floral Hill Drive. (Do not turn right off it onto Fairmount Drive back through the woods.) In one block, when you exit the park where the houses are, Floral Hill Drive curves right at the yield sign. (Do not keep going downhill onto Sylvan.) Ours is the 7th house on the right that you can see, light PINK with a carport and tall shrubs to the side.

FROM I-5 NORTH EXIT 194-B THROUGH TOWN (Not for game days—bad traffic.) Take Eugene EXIT 194B off I-5.. You will be on 105 going WEST. Take EXIT 2, DOWNTOWN/UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Cross the Ferry Street Bridge. Stay in the LEFT LANE, which directs you to the UO, instead of jumping off onto 8th St. You will be on a busy main street, which is first called E. Broadway, then Franklin Blvd. Pass the UO campus. Turn RIGHT a block past Market of Choice at WALNUT, following signs to Hendricks Park. In two blocks it will spit you out on Fairmount Blvd., where you get to turn RIGHT without stopping. Turn LEFT on Summit and go to the top of the hill where you can see the Hendricks Park Picnic Shelter. (Do not turn left on Birch.) STAY on Summit as it curves right, becoming FLORAL HILL DRIVE. (Do not turn right off it onto Fairmount Drive back through the woods.) In one block, when you exit the park where the houses are, Floral Hill Drive curves right at the yield sign. (Do not keep going downhill onto Sylvan.) Ours is the 7th house on the right that you can see, light PINK with a carport and tall shrubs to the side.

"The Popcorn Review"

"Iodine in Thyroid and Total Body Health"

by Dr. Janet R. Lang, BA, DC

Friday, February 20, 2008
7:30 to 9:00 PM

Location:
Market of Choice
67 West 29th, Eugene
Upstairs in the Community Room

This is the first of four presentations from the Wise Traditions Conference 2008 on the topic of Iodine and Thyroid Health. They were excellent, and we will be showing at least three of them this year.

"For decades iodine has been a misunderstood and clinically mismanaged trace mineral, resulting in a widespread severe deficiency in the current population. In recent years, research and advanced study of iodine has reached new heights. Optimal thyroid function requires sufficient iodine, but additionally a far greater whole body need for iodine has been rediscovered. Dr. Lang will bring together a summary of this important information and provide a comprehensive list of conditions that benefit from achieving iodine sufficiency which includes thyroid disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, diabetes, heart disease, fibrocystic breast disease, breast cancer, all hormonally medicated cancers, chronic infections, and much more."

Dr. Janet R. Lang, BA, DC, is a 1979 summa cum laude graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic. She began studying Dr. Royal Lee’s whole food nutrition philosophy while a student at Palmer and has used Standard Process nutrition extensively in her practices. She is the author of Understanding the Peripheral Nervous System and a contributing author (along with others, including Bernie Siegel, MD, Norman Cousins and Prince Charles) of the book The Heart of the Healer.

Dr. Lang will be presenting seminars in Portland in March, and Seattle in May. Visit her website at drjlang.com.

We are requesting a $5-10 donation to the Eugene Chapter at the door.
Space is limited, so please contact us to reserve your seat.
