Our neighborhood is looking for a project for this fiscal year (July-June)... we have about $1800 to spend on a community improvement. Put your thinking caps on and we can discuss it at the meeting or send me your suggesions.
If you are not aware, REACH (Residents Empowerment Association of Citrus Heights- made up of one resident from each Neighborhood for a total of 10 - Area 7 & 8 have combined and meet together as one Neighborhood) goes through the budget process each year with the City of Citrus Heights. Each year we have money's cut from our budget. This year we have about $1800 per Neighborhood to spend on improvement projects and $1000 for administrative funds (copies, ink, food, snacks, drinks, items for Parade, Holiday Party, and more).
Another part of the REACH budget includes money for the Senior Super Star Program and the Family Campout. Until this year it also included money to send anywhere from two to six residents to the annual NUSA (Neighborhood USA) Conference. These conferences are held on the east coast one year and the west coast the next and back and forth...... so the total cost could range from $1000 to $1800 per person. This year there was nothing in the budget for NUSA attendees. So if anyone wants to go this year, the cost is on you. It is well worth the cost but it is not cheap when you count in the airfaire, hotel, registration and extras... yes there are always extras.
