Attention islanders!

We at River Islands are so fortunate to be a part of a wonderful way of life, and yet not far from our community there are people who need our help just to put food on their tables.

Please join us on November 4th to kick off the 2020-2021 River Islands Food Drive to support Second Harvest Food Bank of San Joaquin County.

We’re calling our River Islands program “365 Days of Giving” because Second Harvest Food Bank needs donations all-year round to feed the more than 35,000 individuals in San Joaquin County who are in need every month. We are partnering with the Lathrop/Manteca Fire Department and Target.com to make giving a community-wide event, every day of the year.

This is a wonderful opportunity for River Islanders to reach out and help others. Let’s start a ripple effect of good thoughts and good deeds, from our community to the community-at-large.

Let’s get the kids off of the streets!

There have been a number of sightings of teenagers riding in our open spaces and on the streets in ATVs and dirt bikes. Not only is this illegal, it's SO DANGEROUS! These kids are not of driving age, and have no concept of other vehicles who have the right-of-way. And they are not even wearing helmets! Please, if your kids are taking to the streets in vehicles meant for off-roading, remind them that this is truly a matter of life and death, and needs to stop immediately!

We also hear that very young kids—6 to 8—are setting up skateboard ramps in the alleys behind the homes on Lakeside Drive, or driving Big Wheels in the alleys. They can’t be seen by anyone at the driver’s seat level, making this a serious accident just waiting to happen!

Please—let’s work together to keep our kids safe!

RIVER ISLANDS IS LAUNCHING A NEW FISHING PROGRAM FOR RIVER ISLANDS RESIDENTS

River Islands has launched the RD 2062’s new “Catch and Release” fishing program, that will allow fishing at most of the lakes within the community. That means that fish cannot be taken from the lakes.

Each person fishing MUST have a valid, current City of Lathrop Fishing Permit with them at all times. (see page 3 of sample application package to the right)

Signs will be posted in designated areas summarizing the rules for participants (see sign sample). “No Fishing” signs will be posted in areas where fishing is not allowed (primarily at lakes that are surrounded by homes, like 360 Lakeside).

Only residents of River Islands and the City of Lathrop may apply for a Fishing Permit. This can be obtained at the River Islands Executive Office during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Applicants must bring proof of residency and agree to have their picture taken for the Fishing Permit. Permit holders will be given a map of all of the fishing areas within River Islands. (See map included in app. package)

There will be No Charge for the residents of River Islands, as they already pay for lake maintenance through their taxes. The cost of the annual permit is $25 for residents of the City of Lathrop outside of River Islands.

Security at River Islands will check for the City of Lathrop fishing permits and will enforce the fishing rules. (See program rules)

FISHING PERMITS ARE AVAILABLE ONCE AGAIN AT THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE. MONDAY - THURSDAY
10 am - 4 pm
HOURS COULD VARY DURING THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE..

STAY SAFE!
