18th Annual Cesar Chavez Youth Leadership Conference 

Chavez Youth Conference founded by Rene Aguilera When Rene Aguilera was an undergraduate at UC Davis, he had the chance to meet labor leader and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez who gave Aguilera some friendly advice on being a successful community organizer.

 

“If you don’t have a flier, you’re not an organizer,” Aguilera recalls Chavez telling him.

It is a conference Aguilera founded in 2001 as a way to give back to his community in Roseville, California and to celebrate the holiday in honor of Chavez. With a rapidly growing Latino student body actively interested in attending college, Aguilera saw an opportunity to bring together community leaders to volunteer time and educate the next generation of leaders about career skills and college readiness. The event is hosted and sponsored by UC Davis helping keep the event free for the more than 1500 attendants, which includes students, alumni, parents and other members of the community.

The beginning to end broadcasts of high school boys and girls sports resume with play-by-play announcer and producer Will James still calling the action. CIF Hall of Famer and former El Camino High School football coach Jim Dimino joins James, also in his 20th year of providing football color commentary for Game of the Week.

The season opens live Tues. Aug. 29 at 6pm with high school girls volleyball with Cosumnes Oaks visiting El Camino.

A special high school football show, “Hometown Sports Retrospective: 20 Years of High School in Sacramento County,” airs Fri. Sept. 1 at 7pm featuring a retrospective of 20 years of high school football with four in-studio high school coaches and two game officials.

Nine weeks of live Friday night football follows with 16 different teams from across Sacramento County making an appearance in the television schedule starting Sept. 8.

“This coverage really is a gift to the community since the broadcasts are entirely commercial free,” said Gary Martin, Access Sacramento Executive Producer. “With a new high-definition remote broadcast truck and another year of funding from the Sacramento Metropolitan Cable Television Commission, we’re set for the best looking broadcasts ever.”

Games are seen live on Comcast or Consolidated Communications Cable channel 17 and AT&T U-Verse channel 14 and is streamed from both AccessSacramento.org and the NFHS Network. Friday night football replays are scheduled after each broadcast on Sat. at 11am and the following Tuesday at 7pm.

This year marks the 20th anniversary for the Game of the Week broadcasts that began in 1996. One year was cancelled midway by a reduction in funding.

This weekend on Sunday, September 25, the Oak Park Neighborhood Association is hosting a free medical and dental clinic at Oak Park Community Center at 3415 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd in Sacramento.  From  7:00 AM until 5:00 PM later that day, there will be free services which include diabetes screening & education, illness diagnosis & minor treatments, health promotion & education, and blood pressure screening. Of course there is even more on the dental and vision side. Those dental and vision services include fillings, extractions, cleanings, restorative treatments, and eye exams! As you may have already noticed, most of these services are absolutely amazing considering they are free and that such great professional work isn’t necessarily always easy to come across for certain people.

The clinic is first come, first serve so get there early! All services are indeed free and do not require appointments. AMEN, the Adventist Medical Evangelism Network, are also a part of this event as well. AMEN is a non-profit network of physicians and dentists who continue to work towards providing free dental and medical care to those who cannot afford such services or who lack the insurance required for such care. Because they are a non-profit organization who love to give back to their communities, they are also looking for volunteers. You can apply to work as a volunteer by following this link here. You may apply as either a medical volunteer, non-medical volunteer, or if you’re a student, there are also positions available for you to volunteer as well and gain some experience and knowledge.

So don’t miss this opportunity to receive free and professional care brought to you by professional and local physicians and dentists who are simply looking to give a healing presence to the community. For more information, follow the link here.
