Big Quarterly Trash Dash – Saturday, November 23
Join us at 10:00 a.m. on the lawn between 620–630 Alhambra Blvd., just south of the walkway to the Children’s Play Area near the Duck Pond.
We’ll be out with our partners from City Parks, and we’re bringing coffee and donuts to kick things off—plus pizzawhen we wrap up.
This is our quarterly BIG cleanup event, supported by a City grant, and we’ll have a great crew of college volunteers joining us. It’s going to be a terrific morning of community work.
With Thanksgiving and the Run to Feed the Hungry right around the corner, this is the perfect moment to make our park shine. Let’s show visitors the beauty and spirit of Midtown and East Sacramento.

An active campaign led by Save Our Neighborhoods and the Elmhurst Neighborhood Association to oppose the city’s rezoning proposal continues.

Status of the City of Sacramento’s Youth Corps was discussed. All are interested in this program, but we need to explore the commitment required and how it will be stewarded.

ESP will continue to support Judy and help with her expenses.
