 Roll Up Your Sleeve for a Lifesaving Cause Help make a difference close to home by donating blood at a Community Blood Drive on Thursday, June 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at District56. Summer often brings an increase in outdoor activities and travel, leading to a greater need for blood due to accidents and traumatic injuries. At the same time, blood donations typically decline as people take vacations and adjust their schedules. Your donation can help ensure lifesaving blood is available for local patients when they need it most. The blood drive is hosted in partnership with Vitalant, one of the region’s leading blood donation organizations. To schedule an appointment, call 877-258-4825 and reference blood drive code 10054564, or use the online appointment link. |
 Don’t Blow Your Summer Budget Keep the July 4th holiday fun, not financially devastating. Illegal fireworks can damage lives and property. Property owners and tenants can be cited for illegal fireworks used on or launched from their property. Administrative fines apply to illegal fireworks violations up to a maximum of $10,000. Whether they’re legal or not, bring your fireworks in for safe disposal. Cosumnes Fire Department, Elk Grove Code Enforcement, and Elk Grove Police Department have teamed up to host a Fireworks Drop-off Event on Saturday, June 20 from 10 AM to 3 PM at City Hall (8400 Laguna Palms Way). No fines, no trouble. No questions. Report illegal fireworks through the EGPD’s non-emergency number at (916) 714-5115. For life-threatening emergencies, dial 9-1-1. |
