On Saturday, April 10, 2010 from 9-10am, Mayor Ken Cooley has invited residents to take a walk with him. Meet at White Rock Elementary School at 9am and walk for one mile in the neighborhood. Rain or shine.

Have you heard of Rancho Cordova Mayor Ken Cooley’s “20 Tons in 2010″ campaign? Have a look below at information from www.20tonsin2010.com.

Rancho Cordova has launched a program intended to promote a healthier community by building awareness for those who live, work, play, or pray here. You are encouraged to join our commitment to get healthy, stay fit and have fun! 

If one of YOUR goals for 2010 is to lose weight and/or get fit, then you are NOT alone. What’s more, you are about to be joined by what could amount to be the ENTIRE CITY of Rancho Cordova. On February 1, 2010, Mayor Ken Cooley announced a program to lead the City on a quest to lose 20 Tons in 2010.

So here’s the Challenge:

• For individuals who live, work, play, or pray in Rancho Cordova to lose 10 pounds in 10 months (February thru November 2010)
• For the Rancho Cordova community as a whole to lose a combined total of 20 tons in 2010. That’s a minimum of 4000 people losing 10 pounds in a city of over 50,000 people!

We need YOUR HELP to achieve this goal!

The WINS for YOU are:

• You will be 10 pounds lighter and that much HEALTHIER. NOTE: we are not limiting you to 10 pounds. There will be prizes for the “biggest losers”!
• You will be eligible for monthly PRIZES donated by local businesses. ALL registered participants are entered each month and you don’t even have to LOSE to WIN!
• You will be part of a city-wide effort to get fit and HAVE FUN! There will be events, giveaways, incentives, and some fabulous prizes. (Worth repeating!)
