We Heard from You!  MESA Community Survey:  Thank you to everyone who responded to our survey.  We had a great response.  For a summary of how we are feeling about our community, here’s the synopsis.

November’s Trash Dash: On November 24th we will be out with our friends from City Parks and will be bringing coffee and donuts to power us through our efforts, and pizza afterwards.  This is our quarterly “BIG” pick up event made possible by a grant through the city.  We have some awesome college students volunteering for this event, and it will be awesome.  We timed it right before Thanksgiving and our fun Run to Feed the Hungry.  Let’s get out to make our park shiny and make sure visitors for Thanksgiving see a beautiful and thriving community here in Midtown and East Sac.  To view the event on Facebook, click here:  https://www.facebook.com/events/1576880836591701/?mibextid=RQdjqZ
