Sacramento California Feeling the GreenHouse Effect

California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a long-time advocate for combating global warming joined Sacramento Mayor-elect, Kevin Johnson, at The Green House Community Enrichment Center yesterday to acknowledge the center's contribution to the community.

The GreenHouse was started by Executive Director Kacie Stratton in 2002. The initial inspiration for the GreenHouse came after Ms. Stratton read a 2001 story in the Sacramento Bee about the neighborhood that described the need for positive role models in this struggling and diverse community.

Kacie Stratton is the daughter of Cathy Lee, owner of CLDesign Services, a local home staging business. We mention Cathy Lee often on this blog because she is a friend, a business vendor for us, an charity activist, an active member of CCRIM, RMA, VMA, & WCR, and a sweet person as well. Obviously, Kacie has inherited her mother's energy and concern for a better world.

The "GreenHouse Effect" was covered in USA Today and the San Francisco Examiner. The story was picked up by Yahoo! News and the video is on YouTube. Interestingly, I couldn't find any mention of the GreenHouse event on the Sacramento Bee's site.
