“Working to help our peers make
choices that won’t result in
them getting killed, or
killing, is in itself an act of
love for this Valentine’s
Day,” says Churchill
High Peace Club member
Robi Phettaplace. Phettaplace
and others host the “Valentine Bust Bush Boutique” Feb. 6-7,
which benefits the Committee to Counter Military Recruiting. The
boutique offers one-of-a-kind recycled Valentine greeting cards,
as well as peace art and fashion with a cause. Friday and
Saturday’s events also include a fashion show and video
about military recruiting. See Friday Calendar.
Private parts go public when the ASUO Women’s Center
participates in the V-Day college campaign with this
year’s benefit production of Eve Ensler’s The Vagina
Monologues . The show kicks off this week at the UO.
The production is a series of personal stories allow-
ing the audience to get in touch with different
ideas of what it means to be a woman. “It tells
women that it’s OK to talk about vaginas and
violence and injustice, because if you don’t,
nothing will ever change,” says producer Guru
Simrat Khalsa. This year, look for a wider age
range, different types of women and riskier
content. See Thursday, Feb. 12 Calendar.
February’s First
Friday
ArtWalk celebrates the season
of love. S.L.U.G. Queen Inspira
returns to host the event, with
special appearances by mem-
bers of her royal court. Galleries
on this month’s tour include the
Atrium Building, which houses
an intricate floor design by
Eugene artists Alison McNair
and Bill Fairchild; Circle of
Hands, with work by Roberta
Smythe; DIVA, featuring For the
Love of Art: A Valentine
Invitational; White Lotus Gallery,
presenting ceramics by Hank
Murrow (pictured); and Jacobs
Gallery, with work by Tallmadge
Doyle, Susan Lowdermilk and
Ken Paul. Give yourself a valen-
tine and attend this artwalk! See
Friday Calendar.
There’s nothing better than a brisk run through the park … except maybe chocolate. But this
Sunday, you can have both if you participate in the Eighth Annual Truffle Shuffle. The event,
Eugene’s second largest community race, will benefit Bolder Options, a local organization that pro-
vides mentoring programs for youth. Each person who completes the 2-mile run/walk, 4-mile run or
300-yard kids’ fun run earn a truffle, and all winners in each race receive large chocolate trophies.
Exercise, have fun, win prizes and help an important cause all in one day. See Sunday Calendar.
