From the RVCC President

Hello to my Rainbow Valley Neighbors.

Our Civic Club met at the Sagemont Center on June 19, 2017. If you missed this meeting that means you have not been going to our web site. The neighborhood newsletter is posted there. The newsletter will not be delivered to your door as before. I am hoping that you all will take the time to visit this site. You will be receiving post cards soon with instructions on how to log onto the site. Please post your feedback on the web page, under questions and comments. I am really interested in knowing how you like it.

The city has made it against the law for panhandlers to stand on the street corners asking for money or food. You can help this law be effective by not giving them money or buying anything from them. You may also call 311 and report any one still asking for money on the street corners.

I want you to be aware of your surroundings when you are out shopping or doing anything when you are alone. One of our own neighbors was mugged and knocked to the ground after shopping at Macy's. She is slowly recovering from her bumps and bruises but know that this can have a great impact on you mentally. Again asking you to be careful. There are those who want nothing else but to take what you have instead of going out and getting their own.

The next meeting for the RVCC is in August. We will be meeting every other month at different times and places, so stay tuned. The date and place will be posted soon. The contest is still ongoing until December. Come be a part, and find out what you will have to do to win a set of Southwest airlines tickets.

Congratulations to Diamonndlee Velez, Jami's daughter on graduating. We are very proud of you. Diamonndlee was awarded a $500 scholarship by the RVCC. Thank you for all the work you put into the Civic Club and best wishes for a very bright and successful future.

James Gums, president
