Canyon Creek Park, October 22, 2005

by Francie Spinelli

"Scuff", nephew of "McGruff" the Crime Dog, filled in as  greeter for the Canyon Creek Park Neighborhood party. He gave the visitors badges.  Joining him in distributing "goodies" were, from left to right, Officers Chris Smith (trading cards); Doreen Coberly (rulers); Cadets, Katie Fox (Child Identification Fingerprint Kits); and Sarah Moran (Frisbees).

We are still looking for neighbors to adopt the park, so until someone volunteers, Canyon Creek Park will be protected by Alejo "Spiderman."

Cadet Sarah Moran, who is also an Estralita High School student, represented her student body in presenting a check for the American Red Cross to High School Board Member, Dennis Richardson.  The students participated in a "Penny Drive", collecting spare change to donate to the hurricane relief fund.  In just two-weeks they collected $216.46.

  Robert Brouwer and Terry Hanna, from the Galt Fire Protection District, handed out "I Love Galt" T-Shirts.  During the day, they gave tours of two fire engines.

OH!... and gave driving lessons too ...   Four-year-old Garrett Heaton was a fast learner.
