Is it time for me to start repeating myself? I’ve tried hard to defy expectations with the columns for the past few months, staking different territory with each. But this week readers may notice similarities between this column and the October column profiling the Mennonites. Both draw from history that extends further than most of us usually think about, and both include an invitation. I hope both also exhibit hospitality, which is “diversity” put in the active voice. Not every week will I have the chance to use old English or quote the Bible in a column. So I’m taking the opportunity this week to recall some of the most memorable gifts given at the City Club of Eugene’s annual Holiday Gifts programs. This year’s version of the program happens the day the column appears, so maybe it will attract a few new faces.
