| FUN FACTS ABOUT SACRAMENTO "Sacramento is the capital of the State of California. It wasn’t always that way, though. The previous capitols were – Monterey (1849), Pueblo de San Jose (1849-1851), Vallejo (1852), Sacramento (1852-1853), Vallejo (1853), and Benicia (1853-1854). Sacramento has remained the capitol since 28 February 1854." - Courtesy of http://fremontlibraries.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/13-facts-about-sacramento-ca/ |
The Efforts are Being Made - Happy New Year to all of our RCCA owners and residents. As our
economy continues down a bumpy but improving road for 2011, your Board members are
diligently working to create new rules for the new economic reality in order to preserve, protect
and improve our neighborhood.
Multiple foreclosures and short sales have required extra vigilance to maintain vacant properties
and protect our neighborhood from urban blight. While many of us are struggling financially, this
cannot justify allowing our properties to fall into disrepair, negatively impacting our immediate
neighbors and adversely reflecting on our subdivision as a whole.
The Board’s commitment to our neighborhood is unwavering, but they can’t do it alone. It’s time
we all pull together to preserve the quality and security of our little enclave of homes. To that end,
please review the proposed Rules and Regulations that were mailed out to you the second
week of January. Please then complete your comment sheets and send them in to Riverside
Property Management, and/or attend our Board Meeting February 14, 2011, to lend your support
to the Board’s efforts for the betterment of our community.
Thank you!

Pitch In and Pick Up - Is it just me, or are many in our neighborhood either contributing to, or
consciously ignoring, the amount of trash on our immediate streets? Piles of lawn or tree
clippings are not the place to add papersoft drink cups, plastic bags or other trash. Our streets
are not the place to dump fast food litter, newspapers or unwanted mail.
Last week, along the street side fence line of one of our homes were 5 different soft drink cups
alone, not counting all of the napkins and condiment packages, or the 4’ broken plastic car part
lying in the street. Several of our residents had walked by during the days this trash lay there,
and one person actually piled yard clippings on the street right in front of the area laden with
trash, not bothering to clean it up.
Additionally, the City collectors have been a bit lax of late, dropping part of the contents of many
neighborhood trash cans on the streets. The City has been notified and in one
instance, returned to the littered street and picked up the rest of the trash. No matter how the
trash gets there, it negatively impacts our neighborhood. We can each do something to help. I
don’t think any of us want the streets in front of our homes to be cluttered with others’ vermin-
attracting refuse.
If you see trash littering our neighborhoods, it is not someone else’s job to clean it up. That
“someone else” rarely arrives before the trash is scattered by animals and blown, or otherwise
tracked, into our individual yards. Let’s all show some self respect and take pride in our
surroundings. The token effort of reaching down to pick up a blowing piece of paper, a fast food
cup, or other litter makes all the difference.
Whether it is the City trash collectors or random passersby littering our streets, we can all make
the effort to pick up the trash. I, for one, have been taking walks, carrying a trash bag, and picking
up whatever trash I come across to do my part for our common good. Won’t you join me in doing
your part to maintain the quality of our neighborhood by picking up litter and pitching in to the
nearest trash can? - Terri O’Connor
