Creekside Neighborhood Yard Sale a Success!

The first annual Creekside Neighborhood Yard sale was a big hit. Organized by the Creekside North Platte Neighborhood Watch Group over a half dozen homes participated and lots of folks enjoyed mingling up and down the street - getting to know each other and finding treasures along the way.

It was pretty hot but the kids sold lemonade to keep everyone cool. All in all a great day and a wonderful event. These types of get-togethers create a real sense of community pride and bring us all closer together - excellent job North Platte Team!

Way to Go Sean and Casey!

Mayoral Candidate Kevin Johnson Visits Creekside

Mayoral Candidate Kevin Johnson Visits Creekside

Kevin Johnson requested an opportunity to meet the neighbors in Creekside. He attended the June meeting and held an open discussion with members of our community about the challenges and successes we have faced in North Natomas.
He shared with us his priorities which are: public safety, education and creating a business friendly city.

He did not come to the meeting with a lot of background about Natomas but he asked a lot of questions and seemed interested in learning.

Creekside Neighborhood Association is not endorsing a candidate but we would allow any candidate interested in speaking to our neighborhood the opportunity to do so. We have not been asked by any other candidates in the current mayoral race (at least not yet) for that opportunity.

Thank you to all who participated - Creekside, as always, was a wonderful example of what makes Natomas great... The people who live here and have tremendous passion about helping this region meet its potential.

Creekside kids get a safe path to school!!!

The linear park that runs along Broadwater now connects to a new path leading straight to Inderkum High School.

We want to thank Councilmember Tretheway and the City staff and neighbors from Natomas Park (particularly Rosemarie) for seeing this project through.

Creekside is now connected to the regional park and we won't have to worry about our teenagers walking along Del Paso or through the mud to get to school.

Take a walk or a bike ride and check it out...

Creekside Neighbors Celebrate Creek Week

Creekside neighbors came together last saturday morning to celebrate Earth Day by doing our part to beautify the neighborhood. Over 40 kids and adults alike rolled up their sleeves, put on their gloves, and traversed the half mile stretch of creek that runs along Broadwater - picking up trash, spreading wildflower seeds and gaining a greater appreciation for the beauty this creek lends to our neighborhood.

Thanks to all who organized and participated. These group efforts make an incredible difference to this community and are a large part of what continues to make Creekside a unique and special place to call home.

Creek Week Clean-Up April 20th!

I would like to invite all of Creekside to participate in our first annual Creekside Creek Week Clean-up.

Creek Week Runs from April 18 through April 26. Creekside will join in on Sunday, April 20, 2008. We will meet at 2921 N Platte Way at 9 a.m. for coffee and donuts. We will then make our way to the linear park and clean up our "creek" for about an hour or so.

This is a great opportunity to meet your neigbhors and build community pride. Don't forget to bring the kids and make this a family event. Gloves and trash bags will be provided.

If you have any questions, please contact Sean Avalos at (916) 419-8612.

Sacramento Planning Department to Present at Next Meeting

Hello Creekside Neighbors,

Our next Neighborhood Association meeting is scheduled for next Wednesday February 20th! In addition to our monthly update and discussion of issues that are important to the residents of creekside (safety, code enforcement, community events, etc.) we will have a special presentation from the Sacramento Planning Department.

We encourage all of you to bring your families and neighbors to the meeting to learn more about about future plans for Creekside and ask questions directly to the City's officials. The meeting begins at 7:00PM upstairs at the Homecoming center on Kokomo Drive.

See you there!

Message from the President

Hey Neighbors....

Tomorrow night at 7pm is the monthly Creekside Neighborhood Association gathering at Homecoming Apartments (upstairs in the main clubhouse).

This month we will give ourselves a big pat on the back for how we handled the storm and the clean up after the storm. It has been a great month for us and I am so proud of our community.

We had about 25 people show up to help us clean up all the garbage around the neighborhood. Along with our Creekside residents of all ages we had help from Regency Park, Lewis Communities, Councilmember Ray Tretheway, Randi Kay and Dan Roth.

Behind the scenes the City waste department has been terrific - you probably noticed all the trees and all the trash bags have been picked up and taken away...

So please join me tomorrow to discuss our next projects in Creekside and to take a day to celebrate our community pride! See you at 7pm upstairs in the Homecoming Apartments main office...

Angelique Ashby, JD
President, Creekside Neighborhood Association
