Local writer hosts Spanish writing group

Local Sacramento writer Raquel Ruiz has started up Sacramento's first Spanish writing group.  It is based on the Amherst Writers & Artist method (AWA).

The writer's group is specially for cancer survivors, family members and/or friends of cancer patients, but Ruiz says all aspiring writers are welcome to join her FREE group. The participants don't need to have any writing experience, only the desire to write in Spanish.

The writing group will begin meeting on March 3 at the UC Davis Medical Center located at 4800 2nd Avenue, Suite 2200.

"The writing group is free of cost. I'm donating my time and UC Davis is donating their Cancer Center facility," said Ruiz.

Animal House Pet of the Week - March 1, 2011

Submitted by News10 Web Staff
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011, 5:36pm

The Sacramento & Co. Animal House introduces "Jezebel"

Jezebel (ID#A364732), is a 2 to 3-year old female, blue and white Pit Bull Terrier mix.  She is a calm "lap dog," who wants nothing more than to snuggle up next to you on the couch, while you are reading or watching TV.  But, Jezebel is no "couch potato" and loves to get up and go places...just so she can be with you!  She is tolerant of other dogs, but should be adopted into a home where she is the only dog.  Jezebel really just wants you, without having to share!   If you are that special person who welcomes her into your home, Jezebel will reward you with love and loyalty for life. 

Since she is currently in a foster home, the shelter will have to schedule Jezebel for a "meet and greet" with potential adopters.  She has already been spayed, so she can go home the same day she is adopted.

Ronald McDonald House gets a bit of a makeover thanks to La-Z-Boy Galleries

Guests of the Ronald McDonald House can rest a little easier. This morning La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries made another special delivery of new furniture to Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California, bringing the contribution total to nearly $20,000 to the local House.

The partnership, which started in 2009, is supported by local owners Liz & Jim Reego, who own six La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries in Northern California. The much-needed donations support the local House which serves as a "home away from home" for families with a hospitalized child due to illness or injury.

"I sympathize with families dealing with a sick child," said owner Liz Reego. "When I was 14, I had an illness in which I spent six months living in a hospital far from home.
