New Sign on Mills Park Drive / Opportunities

cordovatowne — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 14:26:02 +0000

We have great news!! City Hall has given us the green flag to move ahead with our plans for the sign. A few days ago they approved the design that Ainor Signs graciously donated to us.

What happens now? If all goes well, we’ll hope to install the sign in mid-November to early December. Before that though, we do need some help with several things. Here are four ways to get involved. Don’t be shy. This project will ONLY happen if we get the following things done:

1) Pass out flyers: We need a group of people to canvas the neighborhood to pass out flyers in the neighborhood. We may do two rounds depending on what we need to communicate.

2) Plan the celebration: We need help planning a party to officially welcome the new sign (we’ll invite media too). It would be great to have one resident volunteer to help be the planner and then others volunteer to help with logistics. This is not a major block party or huge undertaking, but rather something low-key and connective to sip on drinks and eat a bit. If nobody steps forward, we’ll axe the idea.

3) Fence installation crew: We need a few more residents to help install a new fence on the property behind where the sign will go. Thank you to those who have volunteered already. This will be the backdrop to the sign.

4) Clean-up help: We need a handful of residents to help clean up the general area surrounding the sign. There is quite a bit of debris. It would be ideal to have 5 people volunteer.

Thank you for your support. Let’s keep moving forward. Please join the eGroup if you live in the neighborhood. We need residents to talk with each other, report crime and stand strong together.

You want a glimpse of some of the stuff we’ll be selling at the yard sale? Here is a brief video to give a mini preview into only some of what we are offering at the sale. We’ll have way more and this yard sale will be a well-oiled machine thanks to Sue Q and neighbors. We are still accepting donations and we still have slots available for residents to volunteer with logistics on Friday through Sunday.

Would you be willing to pass out flyers?

cordovatowne — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 23:10:50 +0000

We are looking for some residents willing to pass out flyers to the community to help invite local White Rock residents to the Community Safety Forum. It’s so important that we gather and really voice our opinions on what needs to be done to improve safety in our neighborhood. If interested, you can pass out flyers on a particular street or area. Just let us know. Call 595-3735 or comment below.

Also, thank you to Mayor McGarvey who has provided funds for 1000 flyers to be printed for this event. We sincerely appreciate the Mayor’s quick response and availability of funds to do this.

Strong neighborhoods happen when we are a team. Let’s keep finding very practical and simple ways to grow together as a team for the sake of our neighborhood.

Community Safety Forum flyer is here

cordovatowne — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:03:30 +0000

We would like to ask residents to please consider sending one person from your household to the Community Safety Forum on February 1, 2011 (7-8:30pm) at Rancho Cordova City Hall. We will discuss and hopefully decide on what needs to be done to increase safety with the entrance pillars on Mills Park Drive. Your voice really counts. We are a team in our neighborhood, and the only way we can accomplish things in our neighborhood is to work together. Let’s flex some neighborhood muscle and get this done. We will not put up with crime like this in our community!! Bottom line.

Additionally, if any residents would like to help pass out some flyers in the neighborhood, please let us know. You can get a printed flyer from us or you are welcome to download a flyer below and then print for a few neighbors.

Don’t you think it was time for new letters?

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 03:00:00 +0000

This project is coming along for the neighborhood. We’ve been working hard on new letters. In the past few weeks the letters were cut, sanded, primed, painted, and now they’re being hung. The video shows how obvious the current letters have been decayed. They are practically falling apart. It’s a nice thing we have great residents in the neighborhood to take care of this main entrance. Thank you to Brandon, Rich, Orv, Sarah, and Ryan for their work. Others are welcome to pitch in because we’ll need to do some putty work and then re-painting once they are completely hung.

Pick a color for the wall on Mather Field Road

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:42:00 +0000

The time has come for us to vote on a wall color for the cinder block wall along Mather Field Road. Please let us know what you think of the attached photo. Your two cents matters greatly. There are three small squares painted on the wall right now and the attached photo captures the colors fairly well. Two of the colors are very light and one is dark, so let’s bat this around. Leadership Rancho Cordova has already stated they are very happy to come up with a medium color (maybe something darker than what is currently up right now, but lighter than the original “sound wall brown” color that has been up for two years).

What do you think?

p.s. Thank you to residents who worked so hard on this wall to prepare it for a final coat of paint. We originally planned to have our paint be the final coat, but then the color turned out to be very light.

What is your role in the neighborhood?

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 04:22:11 +0000

Everyone gets to play when it comes to helping a neighborhood improve. We all have a part on the team and each player has different abilities, skills, and passions. What is your passion? How can you apply your unique abilities and desires to help add value and improve the community? We’re not talking about giving huge sums of time either. We are all busy. Just think practically what it might look like to offer your two cents for the n’hood. You are unique and you can make a difference in the community simply by being friendly, available relationally to people near you, and helping out here and there.

Case-in-point. Meet an all-star resident named Jen. She gave two hours tonight to help pick out the right plants for tomorrow’s beautification shindig. Not everyone has a green thumb, but because she does, she was able to step forward and provide for all of us in this practical way. She really went out of her way though because she measured planters, took photos, and really brought her knowledge and organizational abilities to the table for us.

Good job Jen, and great job in advance to everyone who makes it out tomorrow.
