What’re You Up To This Week?

Here's A NorCal Check-In To Get You Started

Community connections expert Jackie...Takes the last hike in the 2006 Parks and Recreation’s new hiking series—part of the Department’s 50+ Wellness programs. Best part about the program’s website: the .pdf of the program’s amazingly comprehensive “lifestyle” calendar. In it you’ll find local Fitness Classes and Activities, Community Lectures and Workshops, Outings, Support Groups, Social Clubs and Organizations…the list goes on. County residents can subscribe and receive each issue by mail, for FREE.

Ubercreative Dana...Finishes the first set of midterms for classes at both American River College and California State University in her major, Geography. Described as “a contemporary discipline with ancient roots”, the Geo program includes geographic information systems (GIS), soil conservation, transporation planning and climatology.

Weekday Wanderer Renee...Leads with a series of five volkswalks throughout October. This week's goodies = Wed. 10/18 at Arden Park and Fri. 10/20 at CalState. According to Renee--a member of the Sacramento Walking Sticks and a leader of the advocacy organization WalkSacramento. these walks are okay for dogs with cleanup. She says her own canine buddy, Gus, will be co-hosting as often as possible. By the way, according to the club site, it's National Volkssport Month--the fancy patch they feature looks like another great reason to learn about, try, or return to volkssport.

Nearly-An-MBA Earl...Attends South Sacramento Rotary Club (Rotary is a global network of community volunteers) at Casa Gardens Restaurant and Meeting Center—a unique mashup of cuisine, voluntarism and philanthropy. Restaurant profits and gratuities benefit the Sacramento Children’s Home.
