On The Record
Gold Diggers
Breakfast canceled
until next year
This year would have
been the 57th consecu-
tive Prospectors and Gold
Diggers “Breakfast on the
Mountain.” Unfortunately,
attendees will have to wait
until next year to experi-
ence this unique breakfast.
With crowds at the
breakfast ranging from
800 to 1,000 people in the
past, it just cannot hap-
pen.
For this type of event,
with the geography of
the park and uncertainty
about social distancing,
the event cannot accom-
modate more than 300
people, said the organi-
zation in a release. Most
importantly, it has been
unable to obtain a park
permit or a temporary
restaurant license.
“Believe me, this was
heartbreaking to all in-
volved in the breakfast,”
said event organizer Bruce
McDonald. This would be
the 20th year of the group
heading up the event.
Several local organiza-
City Council policy,
schedule changes
tions play a part in mak-
ing the breakfast a success.
It is the biggest fundrais-
er for the group, which
gives scholarships to high
school seniors as well as
other contributions to lo-
cal organizations.
Because the breakfast
has been unable to be held
for the past two years,
funds have been deplet-
ed. The organization has
had to maintain insurance
and utilities at the Snapp
House.
With the generous do-
nations from local com-
munity members this year,
however, the Prospectors
and Gold Diggers are able
to move forward.
A special beer was even
brewed by the Covered
Bridge Brewing Group, a
percentage of the earnings
going to the group. Bas-
kets were also raffled off
during that event.
“We look forward to
seeing everyone next year
on the mountain,” said
McDonald.
On June 30, Governor
Kate Brown lifted the re-
quirements for masks and
distancing statewide.
With the removal of
those COVID-19 restric-
tions, the city removed the
requirement for masks and
distancing in all city facili-
ties.
Beginning with the July 1
Special Meeting of the Cot-
tage Grove City Council, all
city council meetings and
other official city meetings
will be held in person.
Pursuant to HB 2560, the
meetings will continue to
be available for virtual at-
tendance.
In addition, because of
the Fourth of July holiday
and the return of the Eu-
gene Symphony to Cot-
tage Grove, the regular city
council meetings on July
12 and 26 have been can-
celed and the city council
will be meeting at 7 p.m. on
Monday, July 19 in the City
Council Chambers in City
Hall.
Effective July 1, 2021,
Officer Jason Cross has
been promoted to ser-
geant.

port group for caregivers,
spouses and those affect-
ed by Alzheimer’s or other
forms of dementia. This
group will be meeting in
person at the First Presby-
terian Church in Cottage
Grove every third Thursday
of each month from 5:30 to

fits of attending a support
group include: ongoing ed-
ucation about Alzheimer’s
and other dementia, learn-
ing about community re-
sources, improving coping
skills and gaining a sense
of control over individual
situations.

may be going through a
similar situation is very im-
portant.

phasizes the importance

gathering ideas on finding a
better balance between the
caregiving role and other
essential aspects of life such
as family, work and person-
al time.
