Bryte and Broderick Community Institute (BBCI)
The 3rd installment of the Bryte and Broderick Community Institute (BBCI 3) will be on February 6 from 9:00am to noon at The Rivers Clubhouse (see a map). BBCI 3 will focus on practical ways to plan, run and follow up on meetings that lead to action. If you have ever conducted a meeting, think you will lead a meeting or want to help someone who leads meetings do it better, this workshop is for you. We encourage you to bring colleagues from your neighborhood and any other group you work with that uses meetings to get things done.

Spread the word and bring a neighbor.
Rose Pruning Class

Bring your pruners and loppers and learn first-hand the proper techniques for pruning roses. We will meet by the picnic area on the west side of the park. If it rains on the 23rd, the class will be held on January 30th, same time and place.

More from our Network...
Become a Vita Volunteer
Volunteer to help working families receive all of their eligible tax credits from the State and Federal governments. Every tax season, many families do
not claim their federal earned income tax credit (EITC) because they can not afford to pay a tax preparer. The IRS Volunteers in Tax Assistance (VITA) program depends upon community support to be able to offer free tax preparation services to families earning less than $52,000 a year. Assemblymember Mariko Yamada will host a Super Saturday VITA Workshop. Training begins February 6. See

Sactown Heroes Digital Storytelling
The Sactown Heroes are currently working on a digital storytelling project. The purpose of this video is to document change in attitudes
and behavior in youth and adults as a result of their involvement with the West Sacramento Youth Resource Coalition. We hope this project will
begin to educate others about the importance of Youth Development within our community.
Support our Local Library
There is room for interested teens on the West Sacramento's Arthur F. Turner Community Library Teen Advisory Council. For adults, the Toy Library offers a volunteering opportunity that is fun, particularly as a child's face lights up when borrowing a new toy.
