Volunteers of America helps kids in need succeed through Operation Backpack

Volunteers of America helps kids in need succeed through Operation Backpack

The start of a new school year is an exciting time for most children, but for Sacramento’s homeless children, it is a time fraught with emotional and academic challenges. Without even the most basic supplies, these students start at a disadvantage that only gets worse as the school year progresses.

Volunteers of America’s Operation Backpack, which runs June 25 to July 13, aims at providing Sacramento’s youth in need with new backpacks and school supplies – tools they need to achieve academic success.

“This is our third consecutive year of partnering with Volunteers of America on Operation Backpack, and we are thrilled to once again help our local students in need,” said Tri Counties Bank Marketing Specialist, Jessica Freitas. “While a new backpack is such a small thing to most of us, for these kids it really makes a big difference.

Kids Don't Float!

Kids Don't Float!

Our family lives near the river in Auburn, and we spend 3-5 days a week during the summer months dipping, swimming, and floating the hot summer days away.  As a regular to the confluence I see families with small children, toddlers and up, putting on sunscreen but no life jackets! Certainly the sunscreen is important, but why on earth would these parents let their children play in the river (they clearly can’t swim) without a life jacket on? There are jackets provided at the river, admittedly, they are functional not fashionable.

Denio’s Celebrates Dad’s Day on June 16th

Denio’s Roseville Farmers Market and Swap Meet will celebrate Dad’s Day on Saturday, June 16 with American classics: Classic Cars, Craft Beers and Corn Dogs. The inaugural “Dad’s Day at Denio’s” event will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“Denio’s has always been family oriented,” said Ken Denio, owner of Denio’s Farmers Market and Swap Meet. “It was started in 1947 by my father and we hope that this will become a new tradition for fathers and their kids in years to come.”

“Dad’s Day” will take place on the Denio’s Roseville Farmers Market and Swap Meet grounds in the area known to many as the “flats.” More than 50 classic cars, including the Denio’s own 1947 fire truck will be on display. In addition, specialty craft beers will also be available for tastings and purchase to those over 21 for a small fee.
