Over 100 supporters of Wilton Action Group's (WAG) efforts to remove the Cosumnes River floodplain from Elk Grove’s Sphere of Influence (SOI) application attended an ice cream social victory party on Friday, June 11. The event was held at the ranch of WAG member Gene Rose.
Among those attending were special guests Sacramento County Supervisor Don Nottoli and Elk Grove City Councilmember Steve Detrick. Nottoli has attended many of the information sessions over the almost three-year battle to get the floodplain removed. Detrick supported the removal of the floodplain at the final Elk Grove City Council voting session.
Billed as a "drop by and say hi social with time to visit with fellow waggers,” Bill Kutzer said it was a relaxing evening at Rose Ranch. “We think the Rose Ranch is appropriate for this WAG gathering, as this is where our Wilton Militia Army of the Cosumes first formed for the 2008 Wilton Centennial Parade,” said Kutzer, who led and organized WAG.
WAG members and their families could be found enjoying freezes, floats, sundaes and cones prepared by Rose and fellow member Wayne Gallup. Attendees also enjoyed the mild summer evening, and many gathered outside to chat about their victory and the need to "stay vigilant and keep informed" as the application goes through the process.
