Looks can be deceiving; Caroline is attempting to say, "I am curing myself from Lyme Disease." The progression of the neuro effects of Lyme Disease prevents her from doing so. Stay tuned for progress in her speech as we progress on her healing journey. Caroline and I are reaching out to our dear...

A Swinging Good Time

Already in its 11th year, the Buy a Day of Hope charity golf tournament started by Shelbi Bennett and her family is still going strong! Held at the Empire Ranch Golf Course, the fundraiser attracted 109 golfers this year, many of them returning. All proceeds go to the El Dorado Hills Endowment Fund at the El Dorado Community Foundation. The foundation’s purpose is to provide lift for organizations, schools, and neighbors to help them soar to their own achievement. Participants had a great time with many surprises awaiting them throughout the course, including a chance to win a Mercedes Benz with a hole in one at the 18th hole. A dinner and raffle wrapped up the evening, with more than 50 prizes generously donated by various local companies and individuals. The event raised close to $30,000 for the El Dorado Community Foundation. Nikki Smaglik, who coordinated the event, said “I’m excited and honored to be carrying this tradition forward and being a part of something that gives back to our community. I have to say a big thank you to our sponsors and everyone who volunteered and participated. It could not have been a success without them.” Tamara Berg and Josh Nisbet were both extremely helpful throughout the day, spending time with and entertaining the participants, and helping emcee the awards ceremony and raffle after the event.

Royal Court Reigns at Vista Del Lago’s Homecoming Parade

The beginning of the new school year means all things homecoming: games, dances, and in some cases, parades! Vista Del Lago High School kicked off their homecoming festivities with a community parade running from Empire Oaks Elementary School to their own campus. The parade featured Vista’s drumline, cheer and dance teams, and this year’s royal court: Freshman Prince Lance Padilla and Princess Regina Bass, Sophomore Prince Terry Moody and Princess Sydney Northcutt, Junior Prince Blake Martin and Princess Amanda Gudino, and Senior King Josh Marks and Queen Kendall Maurer. Following this year’s theme of Hollywood Red Carpet Classics, each class created a special float and won awards for their creativity. The Seniors won Most Spirited with their Hunger Games float, the Juniors’ King Kong float won Crowd Favorite, the Sophomores’ Star Wars float won Most Innovative, and the Freshmen claimed Best of the Best with their Wizard of Oz float. The parade also featured Jr. Eagle football and cheer teams and Folsom Middle School Natural Helpers, representing future Vista eagles, and Eddie the Eagle, Vista’s school mascot. Vista Del Lago High School sponsored the event, which was organized by Heidi Schultz, VDLHS Activities Director; Arja Sanfilippo, Parade Coordinator; Reed Waxham, Student Director; and many generous Vista Del Lago parents and students who helped put the parade together. Explaining how the parade has evolved over the last six years and expanded beyond just the school, Arja said, “This parade has grown from a small parking lot display to a community event that so many local families look forward to.”

New Backpacks for the New School Year!

The first day of school is always full of mixed emotions. Excited and anxious at the same time, children walk into classrooms clutching their brand new backpacks. But not every child’s family can afford a new backpack, and that’s where Twin Lakes Food Bank steps in. Their annual Back to School Backpack Give Away event helped local students start the school year off on a positive note. Serving families in Folsom, Orangevale, El Dorado Hills, and Granite Bay with children from preschool to 12th grade, they gave away 990 backpacks and supplies, plus 200 free haircut cards. The excitement was visible on the smiling faces of children receiving new backpacks filled with school supplies, socks, shoes, gift cards, healthy snacks, and even dental kits donated by local dentists. One woman in particular was moved to tears by the generosity of others to help meet her family’s needs, when she received a gift card to Payless ShoeSource followed by a free haircut coupon. “Events like this one are not just about giving out backpacks and supplies, they are about offering encouragement and hope and letting people know that this community cares about them,” said Kelli Fort, Back to School Event Coordinator and assistant to the Director. The event was made possible with the generous support of local churches, sponsors, and anonymous donations from the community. Volunteers from Micron Technology, Harbor Church, and Lakeside Church Youth Group gave of their time to support this cause and the Food Bank’s mission.
