See the flyer below to pick out dates to enjoy celebrating a major accomplishment in Rancho Cordova. Yes folks, we are an All-America City. And of course that means we are an All-America City neighborhood too. 

Come out to the Cordova Towne Jigsaw Party. We are going to make new wooden “Cordova Towne” letters for the northern corner of Croydon Way & Mather Field Road. Watch the video below for more information. Step by step. That’s how we improve our neighborhood. And we do it together.

We had a fantastic time of painting and planting today. Thank you to Leadership Rancho Cordova Class of 2010 and all the dedicated residents who came out to support this wonderful project. The corner planters are looking great and the wall is prepped to be completed this next week. As you may notice, the color is much lighter. What do you think of that? This color may end up serving as a primer or the color may be changed if the color doesn’t work (after viewing it when the corners are cut in). We shall see over this next week. Your opinion counts, so please let us know what you think via email or the e-Group.

Thank you again everyone for your commitment to our neighborhood. Thank you also to City Council candidate Wayne Hart for painting with us today.

Today ground was broken on White Rock Park. The park will be closed through May 2011 and will be transformed into a vibrant community hub. We have been waiting for many years for this to happen and it is finally here!!! It was great to see residents come out and support this groundbreaking. Residents ought to feel very proud for not only seeing results with the groundbreaking, but with how they handled themselves over so many meetings during the past several years. We made it a deliberate point to strike a cordial and cooperative spirit with CRPD, and that went a long way to help the intricate renovation process.

This is a very special day. Great work everyone!!! Let’s celebrate!!!

Residents Clark, Ryan & Orv were honored to dig with golden shovels next to Councilmember Robert McGarvey, Supervisor Dan Nottoli, CRPD CEO David Edmunds, Inez Reyes & Rick Sloan (CRPD Board Members) and several others.

This is huge news for our neighborhood. We have waited so long for this day and it is finally here. Congratulations residents and Rancho Cordovans. Thank you to so many residents who have attended meetings in the past couple of years and have been a part of our cordially direct effort to communicate our desires to the Park District. If you can make it, please plan to attend the ground-breaking ceremony for White Rock Park on August 20, 2010 at 10:30 am. See the image below for details. This is fantastic news!!!

We have a ton of neighborhood stickers coming our way. They’ll be  perfect to put on a mailbox, bumper, folder, trapper-keeper (do they still have those?) or window even. Here is a preview. Please note this image is pixelated because it was shrunk from a larger size. The final sticker will look something like this, but the font edges will be very clean.

If you are a resident and you want one, just let us know. We should have the stickers by August 21, 2010 during our next neighborhood event (painting on the Mather Field wall / replanting planters). Also, take a picture of where you put yours and we’ll put it up on our website.

Check it out. We just ordered new neighborhood business cards and magnets. We pass this stuff out at events and it’s helpful to have for you to pass out to new residents too. The magnets are perfect for the fridge because it’s always a reminder to check out our website and that we are a team in our neighborhood. Together we can get things done. We believe in the present and future of this neighborhood.

Anyway, the magnets and cards will arrive in the next two weeks, so be on the lookout. What do you think of the look?

A handful of residents gathered this morning to do something about graffiti in our neighborhood. We drank coffee and enjoyed forty minutes of conversation. The end result is a small team of residents on a rotating schedule for removing graffiti right away. Way to go!!!

We do need some more residents to jump on board. This is about beautification and community pride, and being on the rotation would essentially mean you’d probably cover one tag per month. Please consider joining us and donating 15 minutes or so per month. All ages are welcome. 

A special thank you to Code Enforcement Officer Cindy Borba for coming to our meeting as well as purchasing five paint buckets for us out of her own money. We feel your support Cindy.
