RATS, IT'S MONDAY! BUT, PLEASE DO PARTICIPATE! RANCHO CORDOVA CITY COUNCIL MEETING!

I borrowed the image from Cute Overload today.

But unlike Mr. Rat, Lincoln Village United would LIKE you to participate (please) at the Rancho Cordova City Council meeting at 5:30pm today, October 6, 2014. We are returning to Rancho Cordova City Council to address the City Council with our varied concerns about Sacramento Gun Club moving into 3443 Routier RD.

PLEASE join us. Help US make History!

Rancho Cordova City Hall is located at 2729 Prospect Park Drive. The nearest cross street is Gold Center Dr. It is just off the Zinfandel Dr. off-ramp from Highway 50.

If you would like to address the City Council, please try to be there BEFORE 5:30pm, as you need to fill out a public comments card, and TURN IT IN before the City Council meeting begins.

We would LOVE to have as many concerned citizens there for a show of public and moral support.

Again, this is for the CONTINUING protest of the Rancho Cordova's approval of the new business, Sacramento Gun Club, moving into the Routier RD neighborhood, within 252 FEET of an existing high school (George Washington Carver School of Arts and Sciences).

It is also in very close vicinity to the Lincoln Village Park, the Neil Orchard Senior Citizens Center, the Quail Pointe Apartments, the Mayhew Community Baptist Church, and a "high density" of single family homes.

Looking forward to seeing YOU there!

Thank you!

PLEASE SIGN OUR ONLINE PETITION - PROTEST NEW INDOOR SHOOTING RANGE MOVING INTO NEXT TO AN EXISTING HIGH SCHOOL!

PLEASE SIGN OUR ONLINE PETITION!

We're protesting the new business, Sacramento Gun Club, a 40,000 square foot indoor shooting range and retail gun store, moving into 3443 Routier RD, in Rancho Cordova, CA.

This address is within 252 FEET of an existing high school, the George Washington Carver School of Arts and Sciences at 10101 Systems Parkway (at the corner of Routier RD and Systems Parkway).

Directly ACROSS the street from the Sacramento Gun Club is Lincoln Village Park, with its swimming pool, children's play area, tennis courts, bbq area, and the Neil Orchard Senior Citizens Center.

Just north of the Sacramento Gun Club is the Quail Pointe Apartment Complex, and north of the apartments, is the Mayhew Community Baptist Church.

Plus, this neighborhood has a "high density" (according to the City of Rancho Cordova) of single family homes.

The Sacramento Gun Club is presently scheduled to be open from Monday through Sunday, from 9am to 9pm.

According to the Rancho Cordova City Planner, this new business is a legal business and it required no special notice or opportunity for public comment BEFORE it was approved.

A neighbor find out by accident that the new business was moving in, and notified the neighbors about the situation.

The GWCarver students (and their parents); teachers and administrators; and the neighbors have formed an action group to protest this new business moving in.

Please, if you haven't already had the opportunity, sign our online petition at:
