Hello! Fall is definitely event time here in Santa Clarita, with a wide variety of interesting and family-friendly programs planned.
On Saturday, September 12, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., the City will host its award-winning River Rally Cleanup & Environmental Expo! The event is expected to draw large numbers of volunteers interested in helping remove trash and debris from the Santa Clara River. The City will provide volunteers with snacks, water, and a small gift in appreciation of their service to the community. This year, we will be cleaning the Newhall Creek, located behind the Newhall Community Center at 22421 Market Street. River Rally is always a popular event for local scout troops, clubs, and other community service organizations. More information is available through the City of Santa Clarita’s Environmental Services Division at (661) 286-4098 or online at santa-clarita.com.
In an effort to help families, the City of Santa Clarita is proud to present its Teen Scene Unplugged on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at the Hyatt Valencia Grand Ballroom. The City of Santa Clarita and the Blue Ribbon Task Force are pleased to present a unique, dramatic, and thought-provoking presentation, about teen stress, peer pressure, drugs, alcohol, sex, gangs, self-harm, depression, and the underlying emotional issues and life stressors that lead to unproductive choices. A Resource Fair (6-7pm) will precede the presentation (7-9pm). Parents are encouraged to bring their teens along. For more information about Teen Scene Unplugged, or about the Blue Ribbon Task Force, please contact Tess Simgen, at (661) 250-3708 or visit santa-clarita.com.
Finally, it is my pleasure to cordially invite you to attend our annual State of the City Luncheon event on October 5, 2009 at 11:30 a.m. at the Hyatt Grand Ballroom.
