Village Green Concert Hits a High Note
By Jenn Taylor, CRPD Recreation Coordinator
Families brought their blankets, favorite dinner picnic foods and dancing shoes for a great night out at the recent concert in Village Green Park. The Nicole Hodson Quartet performed during the Village Green’s inaugural concert sponsored by Cordova Recreation & Park District and Procida Landscape. With Nicole’s sultry voice, husband Tim’s gifted drumming, John’s tantalizing keyboards, and a host of outstanding jazz musicians, this group dazzled audiences at the Village Green Park in Rancho Cordova. Families commented on the fun atmosphere and welcoming environment with one couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at the event stating, “I have been to music in the park events for many years and have never had such a lovely time.” This was truly an intergenerational affair with many families and extended families present sharing picnic dinners and listening to great music.

Underwear Drive
Hello neighbors,
I am writing to solicit underwear donations. I admit it, my first reaction was to laugh, and it really would be funny if the need was not so real.
Did you know that the Folsom Cordova Unified School District had 680 documented cases of “homeless” students last year? For those students, Project 680 was born.
Project 680 is a grassroots team effort led by local residents to do something about the problem of student homelessness. This all started with a sock drive in December 2008. After learning of the “680″ from the District Liaison for Homeless Services, and that having new socks were a felt need among these students, it became our goal to collect 680 pairs of socks. Well, the Project 680 team was overwhelmed with generosity from the community as 3,144 pairs of socks came in. Local residents, neighborhoods, organizations, churches, and businesses all teamed up to make this happen.
The current mission is to collect underwear for these students. So many people generously give clothes, coats, etc., but the basics like socks and underwear are often overlooked. This is such a simple way to help people who really need it.
Here are the real (but admittedly chuckle-worthy) particulars about what is needed:
Only new undergarments in sealed packages will be accepted.
- Elementary Boys and Girls:
Sizes 4-10 (standard underwear), full briefs for older elementary
- Middle School and High School students:
Boys generally prefer boxers and could use a range of sizes from Boys 10-12 through Mens XL.
Girls generally prefer a modest bikini brief. Thongs are inappropriate for this project.
Sizes from Girls 12 to a range of teen sizes would be most useful.
Donations will be accepted until May 8, 2009.
Collection Points have been set up at the following locations:
Cordova Neighborhood Church: Church Office at 10600 Coloma Road Rancho Cordova
Cordova Gardens Area: Penrose household at 2301 Dawes Street Rancho Cordova
Cordova Meadows Area: Bellamy household at 10118 La Alegria Drive Rancho Cordova
Folsom: Girl Scout Troop 24 c/o the Scott Family, 765 Densmore Court, Folsom
Rancho Cordova City Hall: 2729 Prospect Park Drive Rancho Cordova
RC Neighborhood Center: 10665 Coloma Road, Suite 100 Rancho Cordova
Sunriver Neighborhood: 11121 Crooken River Ct., Rancho Cordova
White Rock Area: Jeppesen Household at 3239 Portsmouth Drive Rancho Cordova
