The Rancho Cordova Luncheon
The one and only...!
Each month, the Cordova Community Council and Rancho Cordova Area Chamber of Commerce host a luncheon featuring a newsmaker in the community. This alliance of leading Rancho Cordova organizations brings together Rancho Cordova’s “three-legged stool” of citizens, business and government in a setting that encourages teamwork and collaboration. Believe it or not, this luncheon has been meeting each month for 65 years!
