GENERAL MEETING - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 2010 - 10:00 AM
Our speaker will be Marsha Caranci. She will be giving a program on the Grand Jury, the only independent "watchdog" investigative body in Shasta County, and its importance to the community. Composed of 19 citizens who serve for a one-year term, the Grand Jury monitors the performance of the county, cities and other local governing entities.
Shasta County is large with approximately 3850 square miles and around 175,700 residents, and includes the following communities:
District 1: Redding
District 2: Centerville, French Gulch, Happy Valley, Igo/Ono, Keswick, Platina, Shasta, South Redding, Verde Vale
District 3: Bella Vista, Big Bend, Burney, Fall River Mills, McArthur, Montgomery Creek, Oak Run, Old Station, Palo Cedro, Pittville, Round Mountain, Whitmore
District 4: Castella, Crag View, Lakehead, Shasta Lake, Mountain Gate
District 5: Anderson, Cottonwood, Millville, Manton, Shingletown, Viola
The map below shows how large an area the Grand Jury oversees.
"ONE CAN AT A TIME" DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
 Our food donations made a huge difference last year --- we would like to continue helping hungry children and families that depend on a bit of help from food pantries at the end of the month. If you wish to participate, please bring a can of food to the General Meeting. Brown paper bags and plastic grocery bags are also needed.
We donated to Bridges to Community in January, a small non-profit that doesn't receive a lot of help, and People of Progress in February. In March we'll donate to the Salvation Army. No food drive in April as that is our Fashion Show.
