Fort Natomas was burnt down again last week. I was notified by Angeliqe Ashby of this disapointing and aggravating event. In 2006 Fort Natomas was burnt down for the first time. And with help from our community members and businesses volunteering there sweat, time, tools and donations Fort Natomas was rebuilt to an even better playground. Plus it constantly displayed the pride and good folks we have on our community. I for one am volunteering to do my part as I am sure as our Virtual Natomas members and readers will as well.

Natomas lets re-rebuild and as I understand there is to be a meeting on Thusday 5-29 on how to approach this problem and what should be done. Natomas lets step up to the plate and show these kids who use Fort Natomas that giving up is never the answer.

VirtualNatomas.com and virtualnatomasguide.com will be donating 50 percent of all new sales to benefit the rebuild of Fort Natomas. This will be done on the behalf of Virtual tour magic and its advertisers.
