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!)

Register HERE to be a part of the health challenge. All information above minus the first paragraph was taken verbatim from the 20 Tons in 2010 website.

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.

Hi Everyone. It was time for a website re-design, so here it is. We hope this new design will be useful for us and the community. There are still some things that need to be fine-tuned, but that’ll happen over time.

The big reason in switching our design from HTML to WordPress is that now many residents can easily update the site as well as become neighborhood bloggers. Additionally, it makes design and publishing a whole lot easier.

You’ll see below that all old blog posts (137) were imported to the new website. Our old blog had not been updated in quite some time, basically because the e-Group took over as our main communication tool. Now we will start to use the ”blog” portion of this site again to convey news, upcoming events, and whatever we’d like to report to the neighborhood or community.

You can get blog posts by email or subscribe by RSS.

Go Cordova Towne!!!
