Neighborhood Cleanup - May 2nd

We'll be having our annual neighborhood cleanup, next Saturday, May 2nd.  This has been a very successful cleanup every year and expect this year to be no different.

Atlas Disposal has, again,  generously donated a 40 yard container at no charge. It will be located near the Angel residence at 5600 Sorento Road. If you'd like to team up with others from the neighborhood, we'll be meeting at the Angel's at about 830am and breaking off into teams from there. Otherwise, you are welcome to join us as we make our way through the neighborhood. What streets we clean up will depend on the number of volunteers, so come out even if its for 30 mins or an hour.

If you are unable to participate in the cleanup, we encourage you to consider at least picking up trash in front of your property (if there is any).

Thanks everyone and see you next Saturday.

April Meeting Update

This weekend I received a couple requests to add the effects of the current drought and state groundwater regulation to VVA wells on this months agenda, which we're going to do, as groundwater is essential to our community in many respects, including domestic and agricultural use.

Given that this Wednesday's agenda is jam packed, which is necessarily going to curb the amount of time we can spend on a particular topic, I am also going to follow up with the County Department of Water Resources, which is the government agency that oversees groundwater wells and groundwater use in Sacramento County, and request a representative attend our May meeting so that we can have an expert in the area address questions and concerns of neighbors. Given its importance to all of us, we'll plan on dedicating a majority of the May meeting time on this issue.

Thanks to those who chimed in. We all choose to live in a very special and diverse community and its heartening to know that despite our differences we all care very much about living here together!

Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday.
