From The President
Dear Neighbor,
A big thank you to everyone who attended the annual picnic and membership meeting at Oak Meadow park on Sunday. We had another great turnout with family, friends and neighbors enjoying a relaxing and fun afternoon with good eats, live music and plenty of activities for the kids. Special guests from the Sheriff and Fire Departments, as well as Councilmember Steve Cohn, were in attendance. It was a great opportunity for neighbors to come together to get to know one another. Thanks to all who supported the event by volunteering their time.
We also held our bi-annual meeting and elected a new Board of Directors. Returning to the Board are Mike Bowman, Melinda Eppler, Bob Williams, Michelle Espy, Elizabeth Shults, Linda Kuachusri and Ray Barsch. New members include Guy Brown and Eric Milstein. Congratulations to everyone and thank you for your commitment to our neighborhood.
A special thank you to outgoing president Thomas Dodson who has been a huge asset to the Board over the past two years. On behalf of the Board and entire neighborhood I would like to thank Thomas for his tremendous contribution to our neighborhood. Thomas single-handedly established our neighborhood website presence and was instrumental in securing our participation in the Sacramento County Off-Duty Sheriff Patrol Program. His commitment to our community has been invaluable. Thank you!
We still have a few open Board positions. We are in particular need of members with an interest in helping maintain our website and blog, as well as producing our neighborhood newsletters. If you want to get involved and become a part of the Board please contact us via the SONA website or by telephone at 916.557.1427. It's a great opportunity to share your knowledge and experience, and make a difference in our community!
The Board has already started working on our next membership meeting which is traditionally held at Sierra Oaks School in the Fall. Key topics of discussion will include the success of our off-duty patrol program and how it will impact our dues structure to continue providing this valuable service into the future. With our City and County officials facing budget deficits and proposing to cut their public safety budgets, we want to ensure we are continuing to provide the level of service we value despite these tough economic times. The off-duty Sheriff’s patrol guarantees that we have regular law enforcement coverage in our neighborhood. At a cost per member household of less than $15 per month, it is well worth it.
In the interim, please visit our website -- www.sierraoaksneighborhood.org -- to get the latest information on SONA. And please share this email with a neighbor as we want to get as many people in the community engaged and talking about the exciting things SONA is accomplishing.

6/3/09 Report
I spoke to numerous citizens today regarding the UPS thefts,,, they seemed to be aware of it and were on the lookout. I waved down the UPS truck on Kadema, he was aware of the problem and said all the drivers were being vigilant. No suspicious characters or vehicles in the neighborhood today, so all is well.Dep Jan Zeboski 215-5672

June 1 Patrol
Today was very busy. There were two alarm calls and I did two patrol requests for the vacant homes on Kadema. I then checked the residence on Gifford Way and found the sliding door open, setting off the alarm. I checked the residence and met with the daughter and secured the house.I also checked the parks and stopped to talk with several residents. Four hours never went by so fast...Have a great week!

Leadership Change
I want to let you all know that after two years as President of the Sierra Oaks Neighborhood Association I am stepping aside. Vice President Mike Bowman will take over as President at the annual picnic on June 7. Mike will do a tremendous job. Please show him the support you have shown me over these past couple of years.
Serving Sierra Oaks has been an immense pleasure for me. I am proud to have played a small role in both the hiring of the Sheriff and the SONA blog - two items that have made our neighborhood a safer and better place to live. I am looking forward to spending some extra time with my family.
