The TPVC (Tahoe Park Volunteer Corps) celebrated their first successful clean-up event earlier this month when members of the community got together on a Saturday morning to collectively implement the change they want to see in their neighborhood. Only six weeks after its inception, the co-founders of TPVC were able to coordinate their efforts and make contact with other liked-minded individuals in their area, work with City Services to obtain loaned tools, and execute a fun and productive beautification event that reaped real results.

Looking forward, TPVC plans on staying busy with new monthly projects, making new contacts in the public and private sector that can help us reach our goals, and welcoming new members who want to make a difference in their community. Many plates are spinning behind the scenes, and we look forward to exciting announcements soon!

The TPVC co-founders would like to extend our greatest thanks and appreciation to everyone who was able to come out and help make our event a huge success! We would also like to highlight the important assistance of the City of Sacramento, namely Vincene Jones and Khaalid Mutttaqui from the Neighborhood Services Department and Julie Mier of the Parks and Recreation Department and the Tahoe Park Neighborhood Association for helping us achive our goals.
