A Message from the Creekside President:

Hey Guys - I know there is a lot going on right now with crime and the safety forum coming up on Monday night at 6:30 at Inderkum (I know lots of you are planning to attend - and that is fantastic).

Also, I think most, if not all of you, know that the new school (Hight) is now slated to be host to a community day school for about 20 middle school kids who have been expelled for whatever reasons from regular school.

If you don't already know about this please read the extensive article written on the web page www.natomasbuzz.com

The Buzz is a wonderful news source for Natomas - it is written by a journalist who lives in North Natomas. She does a really great job. I suggest you mark the page and check it every now and again to see what's up in our region. She is always way ahead of the Media News and the Bee for the goings on in Natomas.

You will see when you read that article that Sean Avalos (Creekside Leadership) is leading our community effort to have some input on this issue with the school district.

He has been able to set a meeting for Tuesday night, July 1st at 6:30 pm at Heron School. At that time we, as a neighborhood and community, need to share our concerns and get answers to our questions.

Please try to attend both meetings next week (Monday and Tuesday both at 6:30, Monday at Inderkum and Tuesday at Heron, Monday is for Public Safety and Tuesday is the school issue).

One last note - I know its a lot to deal with all at once - don't get discouraged. We are a resilient neighborhood and we will find our way through all of this and be better, stronger and closer when this is all behind us.

Also, I hope all of you in Creekside are planning to spend the 4th of July together on Naponee Ct at 6:30 (don't forget to bring your own picnic dinner and blankets or chairs and a treat to share... BBQs will be available). See you all in one week, when we can celebrate as a community all of our efforts.

Hang in there,
Angelique
