In 2008 we launched a great community event, and we strive to make it even better every year. Realizing there is a tremendous need in the local community to help caregivers and their families, the Fab 40’s committee donates all proceeds from this event to theAlzheimer’s Association www.alz.org.

We want to increase the understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and its devastating affect on families.  We feel the need to provide an opportunity for affected families to meet and interact with one another.

This year’s Fab 40′s 5k Run/Walk  will be held on Saturday, July 26, 2014.  The name of the race comes from the neighborhood in which the race is held; the East Sacramento community has embraced this event and looks forward to seeing and cheering on all event participants.

“Alzheimer’s Memorial Wall”

The “Alzheimer’s Memorial Wall” is the first of its kind in the nation.  Modeled after the Vietnam Wall, people can inscribe the name of a loved one who has died from Alzheimer’s disease or is currently dealing with this disease.  It is a way to memorialize or honor a loved one or friend.  Located at East Lawn Memorial Park, individuals are invited to visit the wall in a beautiful, peaceful setting and share a comment on your visit.

1. Build a countywide, grassroots coalition of neighbors, residents, and established advocacy groups that allow the concerned citizens of every city and region within Sacramento County to have a voice against poorly planned policies that can have an adverse affect on our environment, neighborhoods, and way of life here at home.

2. Challenge the exceptions being proposed for digital billboards in Sacramento County as a result of the oversight and lack of structure in a zoning code that does not even acknowledge the construction or existence of digital billboards.

3. Insist on a vetted and publicly discussed zoning code in regards to number, location, effects, etc. of digital billboards in Sacramento County before any exceptions are made. The billboard being reviewed on July 22nd to reside on HWY 99 being included in those exceptions and having the ability to the set the standard for digital billboards within the County going forward.

4. Ensure recent deals with the City of Sacramento pertaining to digital billboards do not set the standard for every community in the County by ensuring our neighborhoods near the urban core remain protected from billboard blight.

5. Send letters into the County Board members, asking them to not allow digital boards in Sacramento County and, if necessary, use legal action to challenge or stop the proliferation of digital billboards being considered by the BOS within the County.
