Cherish The Possibilities

Last week, I had the honor to participate with the Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce, the Cordova Community Council and the city of Rancho Cordova, in the country-wide competition through the National Civic League to compete to have Rancho Cordova named as an "All-America City."  The competition was held in Kansas City, Missouri, and I was asked to represent the business community of Rancho Cordova, in a terrific production, themed "We Make the Magic," which we performed in front of approximately 200 people. 

Out of approximately 400 cities that applied for the honor, and of the 25 that were actually invited to compete, I am proud to say that Rancho Cordova was indeed 1 of 10 cities selected as an "All-America City." 
 
Teamwork happens to be one of my favorite ways in which to work, and I am delighted to say that this experience was no exception.   It was a rewarding, unbelievably eye-opening experience to see how much civic pride that people across this great nation have in their individual cities.  And, I was no exception.  Having grown up in Rancho Cordova, and still with deep roots there, I must say, I'm proud to have had, even a slight part, in bringing the "All-America" crown back home.
