INTERESTED IN JOINING THE SONA BOARD?
Are you interested in joining the This is comforting news given the County's recent public safety budget cuts. Sheriff McGinness recently stated, "We are no longer proactive at all. Our operation is overwhelmingly reactive. We get the call after something horrible has happened. We do the best we can to pick up the pieces." Unfortunately this is the state of affairs these days. In the wake of these recent cuts, private security arrangements like SONA has with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department Off-Duty Patrol Program will be the only guarantee of consistent law enforcement presence in our neighborhood. For those who have not yet joined SONA this year, you will find a membership form enclosed. Please fill it out and support the Sierra Oaks community today! If you have already joined, find a neighbor who hasn't and encourage them to join in our efforts! Speaking of neighborhood support, you will find a breakdown of SONA membership by street. Congratulations to Also enclosed is information about our upcoming Spring Membership meeting to be held on Tuesday, May 25 at Sierra Oaks School from 7pm to 9pm and SONA's Annual Potluck Picnic to be held at Oak Meadow Park on Sunday June 13th from 4pm to 7pm. These are both great opportunities to meet some of your fellow Sierra Oaks neighbors and learn more about our community. Hopefully we will see you at both events! Remember, SONA is here to represent you and our community!
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT, Mike Bowman
As we head into the Summer season, things are heating up at SONA. Our off-duty program has been a huge success. We have received many positive reports from residents who have come in contact with the patrol or had the patrol respond to some of their needs.
