Shady Cove City Council schedules budget workshop

Graphic with Shady Cove Logo reading "Shady Cove Regular council meetings"

Very few people were able to attend the April 2 Shady Cove City Council meeting via Zoom. Here’s why and what you need to do so you can attend subsequent meetings.

Why: Due to recent Zoom disruptions, and lacking no easy way to prevent them, the city will now need to verify potential Zoom attendees before allowing them into the meeting. Staff did the best they could April 2, letting in individuals they were familiar with.

Crawlies with Cri – Arthropod Eggs

This week we’re going to go on a crawly egg hunt! Anyone can find a brightly colored Easter Egg (okay, unless they have an uncle like mine who put a silver dollar in a blue plastic egg then dropped it into the swimming pool), but we’re going hunting for arthropod eggs!

As The Great Egg Hunt Weekend approaches and I look forward to (and back on) photos of our wee area tykes running across perfectly manicured lawns snatching up brightly colored plastic eggs and I am reminded that the egg hunts of my childhood were very much…not that.

All Things Oregon – Rabbits

With Easter just a hop, skip and a jump away, over the next two weeks All Things will celebrate Oregon’s bouncing bunnies.

Fun fact: Traditionally rabbits are called “bunnies”, but not all “rabbits” are rabbits, some rabbits are hares.
