Rolando Park Community Council

July RPCC Meeting Reminder

Don't miss our July ACTION meeting!

Date: Thursday, July 9

Time: 7:00 to 8:30pm

SPECIAL LOCATION: San Diego Police Museum

Address: 4710 College Avenue

Agenda: Exploration of what needs to be done to start our own Citizens on Patrol (C.O.P.) program. We'll discuss what our areas of focus will be, such as graffiti and property crimes, what kinds of supplies and equipment we will need, we'll look for team leaders & volunteers, and what the time commitments will be. Come find out how we can keep our neighborhood safe and beautiful with a little bit of time and effort, and work toward eliminating THIS (below) from Rolando Park!

Found: White Male Neutered Cat with Faint Orange Tabby Markings

From our neighbor Patti:

Do you know anyone who has lost a white male, neutered cat with faint orange tabby markings on his tail & head?  This is around the 3900 block of Loma Alta/Vista Grande/Aragon.  He has 2 beautiful blue eyes, likes to be petted, but doesn't like to be held.  He's been hanging around for @ 2 months +/- now.  He also has a collar on that had a "jingle" bell on it (that I finally removed as it was an advertisement "to come and kill/eat me").  No name or phone tag though.  He had been well taken care of previously & I'd like to get him back with his caretaker.  I've taken in 2 other dumped male cats  over the last 10 months & just can't afford any more.

Found: Young Male Black Cat

If you have lost a young male black cat, please call (619) 977-4032.

"Mea Culpa" from Your RPCC President

Well, it seems that I have, once again, offended members of the community by sending out a post that was interpreted as spam.

I want to apologize for that, as well as to clarify my intentions and ask for feedback + increased community participation.

My reason for sending the post was to let people know about the efforts of one of our lovely neighbors to prevent a business closure and the ensuing layoffs of decent working people. It was neither an endorsement of Starbucks or "pandering to corporate greed." Heck, for all I know, many of you may have fond memories of that storefront and want to participate. Again, my intention was to support a grassroots effort to preserve local jobs.

As always, I truly welcome your feedback. We receive so little of it on the Board that we frequently wonder if anyone is out there who cares!

Whether you believe we should or should not send out any announcements that relate to commerce (such as today's Starbucks post or the notice I sent out around the holidays regarding the gas card giveaway at Grossmont Center), would you PLEASE let me know?

I ask in earnest that you hit the DELETE key instead of canceling your subscription until we "talk" about this because, aside from a phone tree (which we do not have), this email list is the fastest way the RPCC Board can get any type of communication out to the community rapidly/urgently. We greatly appreciate our subscribers and take this list very seriously...we want to GROW our list and increase community participation, NOT offend and run people off!!!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas about this and all other community subjects. Please feel free to contact me by whatever method you feel most comfortable and I will share the consensus of opinion in both our monthly newsletter and our website blog/email.

In community,

--Rena
