Grupo de Conversación en Inglés
Practica hablar inglés en un grupo pequeño y amigable, dirigido por un facilitador capacitado. Todos los niveles son bienvenidos, incluidos principiantes.
¿Qué esperar?
El grupo está abierto a cualquier persona—sin importar idioma o cultura de origen—que desee practicar conversación y escucha en un entorno social y acogedor. A través de actividades y temas variados (a menudo con imágenes), las sesiones se mantienen dinámicas e interesantes para todos los niveles.
¿Por qué te ayuda?
Sentirte cómodo en conversaciones cotidianas e informales también te beneficia en el trabajo o la universidad. Podrás crear conexiones positivas, ganar confianza y fluidez, aprender sobre la vida en Estados Unidos y otras culturas, y ampliar tu red en la comunidad.
Nota: Este no es un “curso” tradicional. El facilitador no es profesor y la instrucción de gramática es limitada o inexistente; el enfoque está en vocabulario y práctica oral. Se pueden proporcionar recursos adicionales según necesidad o solicitud. Es un espacio para aprender practicando. El facilitador puede o no ser bilingüe.

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.

مجموعة محادثة اللغة الإنجليزية
تدرّب على التحدث باللغة الإنجليزية في مجموعة صغيرة وودية يقودها مُيسر مُدرَّب. جميع المستويات مرحب بها، بما في ذلك المبتدئون.
المجموعة مفتوحة لأي شخص من أي خلفية لغوية أو ثقافية يرغب في ممارسة التحدث (والاستماع) إلى اللغة الإنجليزية في بيئة اجتماعية مرحبة.
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.
ملاحظة: هذه ليست “صفًا دراسيًا” بالمعنى التقليدي. المُيسر ليس معلمًا، ولا يوجد تعليم مكثف لقواعد اللغة، إن وُجد، حيث يركز اللقاء أكثر على المفردات والممارسة الفعلية للتحدث. قد يتم توفير موارد أخرى أو إحالات عند الحاجة أو الطلب. هذه مساحة للمشاركين ليتعلموا من خلال الممارسة، بقضاء وقتهم في التحدث! قد يكون المُيسر ثنائي اللغة أو لا.

About Citrus Heights HART
Mission: Citrus Heights HART provides resources that enable at-risk people and individuals experiencing homelessness in Citrus Heights and adjacent areas to become independent, self-sustaining, and participating members of the community. The organization serves the homeless of Citrus Heights by helping locals develop stable living situations through connections to needed resources, such as a homeless navigator or winter shelter.
Vision: To end homelessness in local communities, including Citrus Heights, by maximizing citizens’ bargaining power and flexibility through formalized yet open-ended groups that address the complex problem of homelessness.
History: Citrus Heights HART is one of three HART organizations in outlying areas of Sacramento County, alongside those in Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova. Each formed in response to the lack of decentralized access to homeless services. Many founding members began at soup kitchens or food banks. After learning from homeless individuals about service access difficulties, community members brainstormed solutions. The formalized yet open-ended group structure was chosen for its legitimacy and creativity in tackling homelessness.
Core Values:
- Volunteer Generosity: Reliance on volunteer generosity to donate time and resources towards ending homelessness.
- Community Partnerships: Partnership with local churches, government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, schools, faith communities, and city government to provide services and support for breaking the cycle of poverty.
- Resource Connection: Focus on connecting homeless individuals with available resources and shedding light on underlying factors affecting poverty.
- Education and Awareness: Emphasis on education through events about available services.
Leadership: Citrus Heights HART is led by a dedicated volunteer board including:
- Irene Hronicek: Board Chair, Winter Sanctuary & Rental Assistance Committee Chair (Holy Family Church)
- Kathilynn Carpenter: Treasurer, Spaghetti Fest & Rental Assistance Committee (Sunrise MarketPlace PBID)
- Margaret Cleek: Secretary (Citrus Heights Resident)
- Diane Ebbitt: Spaghetti Feed Committee (Citrus Heights Resident)
- Denise Hinkson: Winter Sanctuary Committee (Starbucks)
- Katherine McBride: Volunteer
- Marcy Phipps: Rental Assistance Committee (Dignity Health)
- Mike Nishimura: Rental Assistance Committee (Volunteer)
- Auriel Taurone: PRIDE Industries
- Wouter Boudrez: Laundry Love
Inclusivity: Citrus Heights HART serves people who may be sleeping on the streets, in cars, or couch surfing, regardless of how long they’ve been homeless—from a week to ten years. It focuses on locals in Citrus Heights and adjacent areas, partnering with diverse community members from business, schools, faith communities, and government to support those breaking the cycle of poverty.
Key Programs: Winter Sanctuary, Veteran’s Standdown, Homeless Navigator (connecting individuals with resources), Housing Programs, Spaghetti Fest, Rental Assistance, and educational events to highlight poverty factors.
Citrus Heights HART is a volunteer-run organization united with sister groups in Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova under hartstogether.org.
Learn more on the website or get in touch to get involved. Donations support programs like Winter Sanctuary and Homeless Navigator.

About Cars & Coffee Tap to expand
- It's an informal and welcoming environment where people from all walks of life come together over a shared passion for cars.
- Most events are early morning meetups (usually on weekends, between 7-10 AM), so expect to start your day early.
- The vibe is relaxed—this isn’t a competitive car show, just enthusiasts hanging out.
- A wide variety: expect everything from classic muscle cars and exotics to JDM tuners, off-road rigs, and even electric performance cars.
- Some meetups are more specialized (e.g., supercar-focused, JDM-heavy, or classic-only), while others are open to all types.
- People bring their daily drivers, project cars, and even high-end hypercars, depending on the crowd.
- You'll find a mix of car owners, collectors, first-time attendees, photographers, and industry professionals.
- Most attendees are happy to talk about their cars, so don’t hesitate to ask questions.
- Some people go just to check out the cars without bringing their own.
- No revving, burnouts, or reckless driving. Many events are shut down due to rowdy behavior.
- Be respectful—don’t touch cars without permission.
- If taking photos, be mindful of owners and other attendees.
- Most meetups have a coffee stand or café nearby for a morning caffeine fix.
- Some larger events may have vendors selling car-related gear, apparel, or detailing products.
- Occasionally, manufacturers or dealerships bring new models to showcase.
- The "exit show" can sometimes be exciting, as some attendees like to give a little throttle when leaving—but remember, safety first!
- Be mindful of traffic, pedestrians, and law enforcement that might be monitoring.
- The best cars tend to arrive right at the start and may leave early, so getting there when the event starts gives you the best chance to see everything.
- Parking for spectators can fill up quickly, so plan accordingly.
- Most meetups are in large parking lots or open spaces, so wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking a lot.
- Car photography is a big part of the experience.
- Be mindful of reflections in windows and other spectators when snapping pics.
- If you want to post to social media, a lot of owners love seeing their cars get shared—just tag or credit them if possible!
- If you’re interested in a particular car, most owners love talking about them—just be polite and ask before touching or peeking inside. Compliments go a long way!
- Stay on the sidewalks or designated areas—don’t stand too close to moving vehicles.
- Don’t lean on or touch cars unless given permission.
- No littering—keep the space clean so the event can continue in the future.
- Most Cars and Coffee meetups have a coffee stand or café nearby, so it’s a great chance to sip a fresh cup while enjoying the cars.
- Some events even have local vendors selling merch, car care products, or food trucks.
- Some attendees give a little throttle when leaving, which can be fun to watch.
- However, stay off the street and don’t encourage reckless driving—many events have been shut down due to burnouts and accidents.

About Sailor Bar
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.

About 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.
