ANNUAL DINNER TO BENEFIT POLICE FOUNDATION MAGNET SCHOOL KIDS
******************************************************************** Dinner at the Warehouse this year will be especially rewarding to the Sacramento Police Foundation and the many young people they steer into educated and rewarding lives. “And it comes at a time when financial support has never been more needed,” said Tom Burruss, chairman of The Alliance Security and Crime Abatement Committee.
The Police Foundation plans and funds activities that fall outside the range of the normal duties of the Sacramento Police Department, but benefit the community in a variety of ways. Through its Criminal Justice Magnet School Program, over 300 high school students are in special small-learning classes with both a dedicated teacher and one police officer. Some 60% are at-risk students.
The mission of the School’s Criminal Justice and Public Service Academy is to strive, through teamwork, to promote higher academic achievement, develop marketable career skills, encourage continued education and enhance the quality of life in our communities.
The Annual Dinner at the Warehouse is set for Saturday, September 19. Part of the proceeds from the auction will benefit the Police Foundation. Reservations can be made by calling The Alliance or at the link below.
"What could be better than helping these kids and providing much-needed funds for police efforts, all while having a great dinner and a great time,” said Burruss.

SQUEEZE INN NOT SQUEEZED OUT
******************************************************************** No doubt Sacramento’s only restaurant to make both the New York Times and national television, the famous Squeeze Inn won’t have to close or face a huge payout from an ADA lawsuit. It’s moving – around the corner to 5301 Power Inn Rd.
The tiny 12-stool restaurant, famous for burgers and long lines, was hit with an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Lawsuit two months ago and contemplated closing its doors for good. But to the rescue came Jackson Properties which offered the perfect space at reasonable rates in their new retail complex on Power Inn Rd. Jackson Asset Manager Bernardo Hubbard, who is also an Alliance director, said the new facility will retain much of the charm of the old place but have much more seating capacity. Good news for burger lovers in the coming cooler months.
