Above: Congratulations to Emma Hitt (left) and Peyton Baird (right) along with all of
the Eugene Thunder 14U softball team on their successful fall softball season. These
young ladies brought home the North American Fastpitch Association Silver league
title this October. Way to go ladies!
Below: Soldiers boxes by the VFW. We met and exceeded our goal, we put together
a total of 111 boxes! These boxes will go to active duty soldiers serving in Afghani-
stan & Iraq as well as sailors serving at sea. We had the assistance of Queen Ashley
Gogolin and her dad, John and Michelle Lockard, members of the Cottage Grove
Riding Club. We would like to thank the citizens, businesses and organizations of
this community who donated merchandise and dollars to help us make this project a
tremendous success!
