A Night Out Against Crime



I wrote about Ruth Sandoval a while back in a post about neighborhood sustainability. Her family owned Pupusa booth at the Atwater Farmers' Market is just a weekend job, her day job is the property manager of WinnResidental. Ruth always looks amazing even when it's 90˚ outside and she's flipping steaming hot pupusas to the long line at her booth, besides her family business, her first love is community building.


Ruth is a community organizer and her energy is boundless. This coming Tuesday Aug. 4th she has organized Give Neighborhood Crime and Drugs A Going Away Party, a successful theme from the year before. The evening benefits the residents who qualify for the low-income housing. There will be games, give-aways, and Mayor Bogaard will be there, as well as the local fire and police departments.

Thanks to Jana Stewart, Office of the Mayor & City Council for a note from Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard:

Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard expressed strong support for this annual commitment against crime in our neighborhoods. He said, "Our commitment is for secure neighborhoods and safe streets, and I hope that large numbers of members of our community come out to rededicate themselves to that goal. I look forward to seeing people in neighborhoods around the City on the evening of Night Out Against Crime."

Mayor


Ruth is working towards making the Kings Village Community (non-profit) the best affordable housing in Pasadena, and towards a safe community for the families who live there.

If you are in Pasadena and would like to show your support:
Tuesday Aug. 4th
6 pm - 9pm
1141 North Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena,
