The hardest ticket to get in Sacramento in December is one to ride the “Polar Express” train which leaves the CALIFORNIA STATE RAILROAD MUSEUM in the evening and travels to the North Pole (actually to a location known as “Baths”) and back, during which children and parents (in their pajamas) enjoy the reenactment of the adventures described in the popular holiday book.

Not wanting to sit around and watch TV after his 2nd retirement from the Air Force, OTHO MINTZ (known as Jack) has enjoyed since 1998 his connection with the CITRUS HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT and the Sheriff's VIPS program (Volunteers in Participation with Sheriffs). At the same time he has been a member of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).

If you want to live longer and be healthier, take Helen Farrell’s advice and fill your days with volunteering. Helen is the Retired Senior Volunteer Program’s (RSVP) oldest volunteer in chronological age and years of service. Age ninety six this March she is starting into her 35th year with RSVP. Helen is proud of her folder full of certificates and awards from all the organizations where she has put her energies throughout a lifetime. It includes a State resolution commending 30 years of volunteerism from Senator Deborah Ortiz.
