Heat didn't put the kibosh on East Sacramento Preservation's party to celebrate National Night Out. More than fifty neighbors came to the three-hour ice cream social to meet friends and strengthen bonds in the neighborhood. Public servants, police and the people rubbed elbows.

Notable attendees included, Benjamin Wagner, United States Attorney, Phil Serna, Supervisor, 1st District, Rick Braziel, Chief of Police, Steve Cohn, Sacramento City Councilmember and John F. Shirey, City Manager. More importantly neighbors met and talked about neighborhood issues.

East Sacramento Preservation works to preserve safe neighborhoods that are bicycle friendly, walkable, and tree-lined. Our web site is an aggregator of East Sacramento information.
