Despite the high temperatures, it was a fantastic night!
Solaire, Creekview and Silver Springs Neighborhood Association Joint- NNO
This year Solaire and Creekview Neighborhood Associations wanted to collaborate so they could put on an event the neighborhood would remember.
Through a combined effort, they reached out to multiple vendors and non-profit organizations to bring their community a festive and safe evening. Festivities were held at John L. Sullivan Park located within the Solaire neighborhood. During the event, there were 27 vendor booths a mix of non-profit and sellers. Entertainment was provided by The Manuia Polynesian Dance Revue, based out of Rocklin, which consisted of an approximately 30 minute dance demonstration. Beale AFB Military Working Dog Section performed two separate demonstrations.
Music was provided by DJ Eugene Macala of Macala Entertainment. Food In The Hood 916 provided five food trucks. To help keep everyone stay cool, the NAs handed out free water, Italian ice, and Otter Pops. The Roseville Police, Fire Department, and Utilities Department, along with the American Red Cross provide cars/trucks for people to climb about. Approximately 500 people were in attendance throughout the evening.

Silver Springs NA Activates
Newly formed Silver Springs NA held its first meeting on June 11, 2024 at the Raley's O-N-E Market on Blue Oaks Blvd. About 19 community members, a collective of residents from the Silver Silver Springs area, RCONA E-Board, RCONA Activation Committee members, and other community stakeholders attended this first meeting. The provisional board was confirmed and approved by a unanimous vote and 3 additional members opted to be members-at-large, making an executive board of 7 members. The Silver Springs NA will tentatively be voted and approved by RCONA at the June 20th, RCONA Board Meeting. The Silver Springs NA is located within the Sierra Vista Specific Plan in West Roseville, neighboring the Solaire NA and West Park NA.
Solaire Kicks-Off The Summer With A Free BBQ
Solaire Neighborhood Association hosted a free BBQ for its residents on Memorial Day Weekend (May 25th), at the newly opened Solaire Park. The event was sponsored by its very own residents who happen to be business owners: The Brian Hoh Group of Compass and local chiropractor, Dr. Sophia Suprai. The festivities included 14 vendors, mostly from Roseville, free face painting, a bounce house/ slide combo, free BBQ, desserts from a local food truck, bubble making activities, corn hole games and live music provided by a local acoustic/pop duo out of West Roseville. A total of 179 meals were reserved and they ended cooking up 230 burgers and hot dogs! Total in attendance was approximately 304 residents!
Spring Clean-up Keeps Bikes Rolling
In addition to all of the garages cleaned out and the tons of materials properly disposed of, Roseville’s 2024 Spring Clean-up program did some “wheely” good work (as Elmer Fudd might have said).
Eight bikes in fairly good condition were donated to Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen in mid-town Sacramento to be fixed up and sold at very low prices. Nine other bikes in similar condition were given to Seven Hills Middle School in Nevada City. Seven Hills, shown here in the photos, has a full shop and regular Bike Shop classes to train their students. Those bikes will be fixed up and donated to those in need.
HSVNA Sidewalk Grant
The Roseville Grants Commission made a significant contribution towards community development by awarding RCONA a generous grant of over $7,000. This funding will be directed towards the much-needed installation of a sidewalk within the Historic Sierra Vista Neighborhood Association (HSVNA), a project that holds great significance for both residents and visitors. The grant underscores the commitment of the Roseville Grants Commission to enhancing the quality of life for local residents by providing essential infrastructure that promotes accessibility, safety, and community cohesion. The HSVNA expressed its gratitude to the Roseville Grants Commission for their support in realizing this vital neighborhood improvement initiative.
Roseville Cleanup Days
The Neighborhood Cleanup Days, an annual event in Roseville, serves as a catalyst for residents to rejuvenate their homes and neighborhoods by responsibly disposing of unwanted items. As neighbors come together to declutter and tidy up, the event encourages a shared commitment to maintaining the beauty of the city. The 2024 event achieved remarkable milestones by having 1,569 residents drop off items (a 14% increases over 2023) and collected 126 tons of trash (7% increase). In addition, nearly 14 tons of e-waste and over 3 tons of mattresses were properly disposed off. Kudos to the entire community for such a successful project.
