About Single Mom Strong Tap to expand
Single Mom Strong
Single Mom Strong is a Sacramento-based nonprofit that stands beside single mothers and their children with practical support and a welcoming community. Their belief is simple and powerful: with the right tools and encouragement, families can thrive.
What started as a local effort has grown into a village—one that offers care for children, confidence for moms, and connection for both. Programs are designed to be accessible, respectful, and results-oriented, meeting families where they are and helping them take the next step forward.
What they provide
- Quality early learning and childcare with the EmpowerME Preschool & Childcare, making dependable care attainable for single-income households.
- Career advancement support—from resume coaching and mock interviews to a free Career Clothing Closet—so moms can pursue opportunity with confidence.
- Community and belonging through empowerment workshops, “Mom & Me” outings, and supportive gatherings that reduce isolation and build durable networks.
- Enrichment for kids—tutoring, camps, and hands-on learning partnerships—because a child’s growth is central to a family’s future.
The impact is tangible: moms feel seen and prepared; children feel safe and inspired; families gain steady footing. It’s practical help wrapped in kindness—exactly what many of our neighbors need.

About Sailor Bar Tap to expand
Sailor Bar Walk
Fair Oaks / Rancho Cordova (American River Parkway)
A scenic, mostly flat riverside walk through oak woodland, gravel bars, and historic gold-mining tailings—perfect for easy mileage, birding, and river views.
✨ Why visit
• Big sky river vistas, gravel bars, and seasonal side-pools.
• Frequent wildlife: egrets, herons, ducks, raptors—plus beaver & river otter sightings are possible.
• Easy access and mellow grades make it great for all levels, sunrise to golden hour.
📍 Trailhead
Sailor Bar Access, off Illinois Ave (Fair Oaks). Multiple dirt/gravel spurs along the river; your event route (~4–5 miles) stays mostly level on service roads and riverside paths.
⏱️ Time & Difficulty
Easy • Allow 1.5–2 hours with photo stops. Surfaces range from packed dirt to river rock; wear sturdy shoes.
🚗 Parking & Facilities
American River Parkway day-use fee (paid kiosk / self-pay). Sites here include restrooms, picnic spots, boat ramp (small craft), and equestrian staging areas.
👀 What to look for
- Gravel bars & side channels—great for waterfowl and reflections.
- Blue & valley oaks, willow/cottonwood stands along the riparian edge.
- Fall salmon activity (often Oct–Dec) between River Bend and Sailor Bar; watch respectfully from shore.
- Historic dredge tailings—rounded cobble mounds from early mining.
🏺 A short history of Sailor Bar
The American River has supported people for thousands of years, including Nisenan (Southern Maidu) communities along its fertile floodplain. During the Gold Rush and into the early 20th century, Sailor Bar and nearby Sacramento Bar were heavily mined—first by hand, then by massive bucket dredges. Local lore says the name comes from sailors who left their ships to try their luck here. The rounded rock “tailings” you see today are the landscape’s living record of that era.
⚠️ River safety & etiquette
- Stay off unstable banks; river levels and currents change quickly.
- Yield to horses & give anglers space; pack out all trash.
- Dogs on leash where posted; watch for goathead thorns on gravel.
- Check current county park rules and CDFW regulations if fishing.
🌤️ Best times
Year-round; spring wildflowers & green hills, summer river breezes (go early), fall color & salmon activity, crisp winter birding.
🧭 Navigation tip
From the main lot, head toward the river and follow the service road east or west along the bank; spur paths lead to gravel bars and overlooks.
Tip: River cobbles can be slick—choose treaded shoes. After big storms, expect debris and re-routed side channels.

Группа предназначена для всех, независимо от языка или культурного происхождения, кто хочет практиковать разговорный английский и аудирование в тёплой, социальной обстановке.
Умение чувствовать себя комфортно и уверенно в неформальном общении важно даже в более формальных средах, таких как работа или учёба.

الشعور بالراحة والثقة في المحادثات الاجتماعية غير الرسمية مهم حتى في البيئات الأكثر رسمية، مثل العمل أو الجامعة. فهذه الطريقة تساعدك على بناء علاقات إيجابية مع الآخرين، والتي قد تفيدك لاحقًا، كما تساعدك على تكوين صداقات. حسّن ثقتك وطلاقتك في اللغة الإنجليزية، وتعرّف على الحياة الأمريكية وثقافات أخرى، وابنِ روابط اجتماعية. سيتم استخدام مواضيع وأنشطة مختلفة، غالبًا باستخدام الصور، في كل مرة لجعل المجموعة ممتعة وتفاعلية لأي مستوى.

Группа Разговорного Английского
Практикуйте разговорный английский в дружеской, небольшой группе под руководством обученного ведущего. Добро пожаловать всем уровням, включая новичков.
Группа предназначена для всех, независимо от языка или культурного происхождения, кто хочет практиковать разговорный английский и аудирование в тёплой, социальной обстановке.
Умение чувствовать себя комфортно и уверенно в неформальном общении важно даже в более формальных средах, таких как работа или учёба. Здесь вы налаживаете позитивные связи, заводите друзей, улучшаете уверенность и беглость речи, узнаёте больше об американской жизни и других культурах. Каждый раз — новые темы и задания, часто с картинками, чтобы встречи были интересными и интерактивными для любого уровня.
Важно: Это не «урок» в традиционном смысле. Ведущий не является учителем, и прямого обучения грамматике мало или совсем нет. Основной акцент — на словарный запас и живую практику речи. Дополнительные ресурсы или рекомендации могут быть предоставлены при необходимости или по запросу участников. Это пространство для обучения через практику. Ведущий может быть или не быть билингвом.

Big Day of Service Tap to expand
Big Day of Service is a large-scale, volunteer-driven community service event held annually in cities and regions across the United States. The event brings together residents, nonprofits, faith organizations, schools, businesses, and local leaders to complete meaningful service projects that strengthen neighborhoods and support those in need.
Each local Big Day of Service is organized independently, allowing communities to focus on the causes that matter most to them — from neighborhood cleanups and food distribution to school support, senior assistance, beautification projects, and nonprofit capacity building.
Beyond a single day of volunteering, Big Day of Service emphasizes long-term community impact by encouraging collaboration, leadership development, and ongoing civic engagement. Many volunteers return year after year, taking on roles as project leaders, coordinators, and media or outreach team members.
Participation is open to individuals, families, youth groups, businesses, and organizations of all sizes — making it an accessible and powerful way for neighbors to connect, serve locally, and help build stronger, more connected communities.

Process-Based Art Tap to expand
🎨 Process-Based Art: Create • Explore • Discover
Process-based art centers the act of making over a polished end product. It invites experimentation, play, and spontaneity—letting you explore materials, techniques, and movement without a fixed outcome. The goal is the journey of creating: try, layer, react, repeat.
Key Characteristics
- Process first — outcome is secondary to exploration.
- Freedom from rigid rules — embrace happy accidents.
- Mix & layer media — paint, ink, collage, fabric, found objects.
- Follow intuition — gesture, rhythm, and movement guide the work.
- Personal & expressive — process becomes a record of thought and feeling.
Why Artists Love It
Reduces perfection pressure, builds creative confidence, and sparks original ideas through playful iteration.
Why Educators Use It
Supports multiple ages and abilities, encourages risk-taking, and builds reflection skills (what worked, what changed, what’s next).
Why It’s “Messy”
Layering, gluing, scraping, splattering—materials in motion. The “mess” is part of the magic and the documentation of process.
Quick Tips
- Start with loose marks (no erasing—respond instead).
- Layer three+ materials (e.g., watercolor + ink + collage).
- Set a time limit to stay playful, not precious.
- Pause, rotate, and react—let the piece tell you what’s next.
Influences & exemplars: Jackson Pollock (action painting), Eva Hesse (material/structural experimentation), Lynda Benglis (poured, textured media). Today, this approach thrives in contemporary studios, art therapy, and education.

About the Guild Theater Tap to expand
The Guild Theater, located at 2828 35th Street in Sacramento's historic Oak Park neighborhood, has been a cultural landmark since its original opening in 1915. Designed and financed by Joseph Lewis, it was the largest of three theaters on 35th Street at the time.
Over the years, the theater has undergone several transformations, including periods as the Oak Park Theater, Victor Theater, and New Oak Park Theater. In 1952, it reopened as the Guild Theater, featuring a modern marquee and seating for 467 patrons. After a phase of decline and vacancy, the theater was revitalized and is now managed by St. HOPE, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community development through public education, civic leadership, economic growth, and the arts.
Founded in 1989 by former Mayor, NBA star and Oak Park resident Kevin Johnson, the St. HOPE organization accepted the challenge of restoring the Guild Theater after it had been vacant for many years, finishing the full restoration in 2003.
The Guild Theater in Sacramento is a cherished cultural venue that has long played a significant role in the local arts scene.
Historic Charm & Modern Vibe: Originally established as a community gathering place, the Guild Theater has maintained its historic character while evolving with modern updates. Its blend of classic architecture and contemporary amenities creates an intimate setting that enhances every performance.
Events: The theater is known for hosting a wide variety of events—from live theatrical productions and musical performances to film screenings and special community events.
Community-Focused Mission: More than just a performance space, the Guild Theater is dedicated to fostering local talent and engaging the community.
Accessibility & Atmosphere: Located in a lively part of the city, the theater is easily accessible to residents and visitors alike.
Today, the Guild Theater serves as a vibrant hub for performing arts and cinema, hosting a diverse array of events.
The Guild Theater offers a unique and intimate setting that continues to enrich Sacramento’s cultural landscape.

The Boater Hat Tap to expand
Flat-top confidence since 1870 — Timeless. Weightless. Fearless.
🎩 Boater Hat: From River Regatta to Runway Classic
(1870 – 1930s)
Born on the rivers of England and France, the stiff-brimmed straw hat kept oarsmen cool under the sun. Its flat crown made it easy to stack or stow between races.
Adopted for summer outings, cycling, and seaside trips. Men paired it with striped blazers; women with shirtwaists and long skirts.
A mark of collegiate charm and barbershop harmony. In the U.S., “Straw Hat Day” celebrated its annual debut each May.
The boater crowns everyone from silent-film crowds to jazz-age partygoers. Light, crisp, modern — a uniform for summer modernity.
As felt fedoras took over, the boater lingered in uniforms, gondoliers, and nostalgic fashion — forever linked to early-20th-century elegance.

Process-Based Art Tap to expand
🎨 Process-Based Art: Create • Explore • Discover
Process-based art centers the act of making over a polished end product. It invites experimentation, play, and spontaneity—letting you explore materials, techniques, and movement without a fixed outcome. The goal is the journey of creating: try, layer, react, repeat.
Key Characteristics
- Process first — outcome is secondary to exploration.
- Freedom from rigid rules — embrace happy accidents.
- Mix & layer media — paint, ink, collage, fabric, found objects.
- Follow intuition — gesture, rhythm, and movement guide the work.
- Personal & expressive — process becomes a record of thought and feeling.
Why Artists Love It
Reduces perfection pressure, builds creative confidence, and sparks original ideas through playful iteration.
Why Educators Use It
Supports multiple ages and abilities, encourages risk-taking, and builds reflection skills (what worked, what changed, what’s next).
Why It’s “Messy”
Layering, gluing, scraping, splattering—materials in motion. The “mess” is part of the magic and the documentation of process.
Quick Tips
- Start with loose marks (no erasing—respond instead).
- Layer three+ materials (e.g., watercolor + ink + collage).
- Set a time limit to stay playful, not precious.
- Pause, rotate, and react—let the piece tell you what’s next.
Influences & exemplars: Jackson Pollock (action painting), Eva Hesse (material/structural experimentation), Lynda Benglis (poured, textured media). Today, this approach thrives in contemporary studios, art therapy, and education.
