Aug. 1: Splash in the Pool, Chat Over Knitting, More

We’re heading back into the work week today—I know, kind of a bummer, but it’s still possible to enjoy Monday! You can head to the pool with the kids, get into some knitting with fellow crafters or let your child read to a canine companion. And while you’re having fun, don’t forget to check up on the latest news affecting Rosemont by learning about the changes in Waste Management and checking out our Week in Review.

1. Beginning this week, Sacramento County Waste Management will combine its collection routes to save money. What does that mean to you? Collection days are changing for many customers because of the switch. Read more about it in and let us know what you think about the changes.
2. Pack up the kids and the sunscreen and head to  today for the Cordova Recreation and Park District's public swim session. From now until August 12, the public is invited to swim in the school's pool from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is just $2 per per person, per visit, and if you're going to frequent the pool you can get a 10-punch card for $15, so head to Rosemont High and beat the heat!
