WHAT’S HAPPENING A benefit for the White Bird Clinic and CAHOOTS (Crisis Assistance Helping Out on the Streets) will be held in Kesey Square on Saturday. Stop by the celebration to catch music by Steel Wool, Gumbo Groove and Musekiwa Chingdoza and be sure to sample the special “White Bird” doughnut that will be whipped up by Voodoo Doughnut. CAHOOTS, a crisis intervention unit, is dispatched by the Eugene police, fire and ambulance communications center to assist with urgent psychological and medical needs. The White Bird Clinic began 45 years ago and provides dental, mental health and substance abuse treatment as well as other medical services to uninsured and underserved communities. A donation jar will be onsite with proceeds benefiting people in need.
