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.

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.

RIP Rajneet Kaur Singh, a neighborhood resident

cordovatowne — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 17:22:25 +0000

We are very sad to hear of the murder of Rajneet Kaur Singh, a White Rock area resident. May she rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and neighbors. As time unfolds, our hope is to be able to open up conversation about how we can come together as a community to stop crime like this. It’s an outrage and a very sad and difficult situation.

Residents get the “Cordova Towne” letters done!!!

Sat, 11 Sep 2010 20:57:52 +0000

A group of residents got together today to cut out new wooden letters that say “Cordova Towne”. The old letters on the northern corner of Croydon & Mather Field Road have been looking very unpolished in light of their age, so it was time to spruce things up a bit. Nice job Orv, Rich, Brandon & Ryan. With a little intention, we can get a lot done in a community. We all benefit in the neighborhood when people step forward to use their abilities and give a few minutes here and there.

If you’d like to help prime, paint or hang the letters, speak on. We’ll be doing this in the next two weeks and we’re looking for volunteers. See you at the installation party on September 25 at 10:30am.

The evolution of our wall along Mather Field Road

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:12:05 +0000

What do you think? Do you remember in 2007 when our neighborhood painted this wall? Wasn’t the gray cinder block really ugly before we painted? And now the wall has been really spruced up by Leadership Rancho Cordova Class of 2010 (along with residents). Thank you Leadership Class for all of your hard work. We really benefited from your leadership in our community. Thank you for choosing such a visible and important wall to not only our neighborhood, but all of Rancho Cordova. What a tremendous project for everyone and it’s just in time for the California Capital Airshow too.
