On April 4, Tom Steadman (talking with Kimberly Coley, leader of community engagement for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento), Jim Putnam, and Roger Klausler labored at our club’s third Build Day for the Habitat for Humanity project on Sayonara Drive, working in four homes in phase in phase two. Today’s build was dedicated to applying a barrier film to render the homes “airtight” to minimize heating and cooling costs, and measuring, cutting, and using a very clever PacTool Gecko to help in applying siding composed of a concrete and cellulose fiber mix which prohibits dry rot. Kimberly said that the entire community should be completed by Thanksgiving 2027 and noted that this year is the 40th anniversary of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento. Families in the first eight Sayonara Drive homes will receive their keys at a June ceremony. These 26 homes will provide safe, stable housing for nearly 120 low-income residents, including families with children. ... See MoreSee Less

Our 42nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Rusch Park drew a HUUUGE crowd on a perfect spring day. We extend heartfelt thanks for the success of the event to the moms and dads, pop-pops and nanas, and all the kids who came to enjoy the egg hunt, the tug o’war, the fishing booth, and face-painting…and a big hug to the Easter Bunny. Special thanks to our Bella Vista and Mesa Verde Key Clubs. Without their help to the vendors in set-up and clean-up and running all the activities, this joyous holiday event would not have happened.
Equal thanks to our Golden Egg Sponsor Republic Services; Egg Hunt Stage Sponsor Citrus Heights Water District; Egg Hunt Sponsors Bill Smith Photography, Frosty Sweets and Treats, and Minuteman Press; Community Partners Sunrise Recreation and Parks, Helping Hands Orangevale, Metro Fire, Citrus Heights Police Department, Best Buddies, i9 Sports; Sunrise Christian Food Ministry for providing free pastry and cookies snacks and household items donated by Walmart. ...
