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.

I’m very excited to announce Project 680′s upcoming “Biking for Socks” event on May 8, 2010. We are doing a community bike ride in order to accomplish three things: 1) Bring awareness to the problem of student homelessness in the FCUSD; 2) Collect socks for homeless kids in the FCUSD; and 3) Gather up a few bucks to be able to give to the District Liaison for Homeless Services so she can meet the needs of students on an “as needed” basis – meaning that when the neediest of students come to her, she can simply take care of some of the things they need – whether clothing, deodarant, shoes, study materials, etc….

If anyone would like to be a “drop-off” location for the sock drive, let me know. It would be great to have some Cordova Towne representation this time around.

You can sign up for the bike ride on Facebook too if you’d like (or just comment below or visit the Project 680 website at www.project680.org.

In case you did not know, Project 680 was birthed in our neighborhood a couple of years ago. Please have a look at the video below and let me know if you have any questions, ideas, or a desire to get involved in any way.

Here is a new audio post. As we consider goals for the new year, let’s consider being intentional about being good neighbors in very practical and simple ways. Our neighborhood has seen some great things in years past. Let’s keep it that way in the future!!! Life is better when we get to share the journey with people around us – even neighbors. Let me know if you have tips to add to the list.
