Happy Birthday, Joan Didion!
Join us Tuesday, December 5, at 6:30 p.m., in the Art Court and Performing Arts Center, for a celebration of Joan Didion on her birthday! Presented by the Sacramento Historical Society (SHS) in partnership with Sacramento City College, the event will be an acknowledgement of her legacy, the recent $500,000 gift from her family and SHS to support SCC programs, and the renaming of the college’s library to the Joan Didion Learning Resources Center.
As a Sacramento native who studied at SCC, it will be fitting to honor her at the college with an evening of food and drink, conversation and a full program. Admission is free for all Los Rios students and employees – email your full name and student ID number (W number) or a photo of your student ID to Toni Tinker at msttinkerbell20@gmail.com.

Movember For Men's Health
This November, let's make a statement that goes beyond style – let's make it about men's health. Movember is here, and it's more than just growing a mustache; it's a growing movement aiming to raise awareness about men's health issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.
Movember is an annual event that challenges men to embrace their facial hair for a cause. It's not just about growing a mustache, it's about changing the face of men's health. The Movember Foundation hosts this annual charity event with a mission to increase early cancer detection, improve diagnosis and treatments, and ultimately reduce preventable deaths.
