Here are the top stories in Roseville today:

1. You aren't likely to see any reindeer in the Roseville Galleria parking lot this Christmas season, but you might see some horses. That's because security has mounted patrol on horseback as part of their strategy. "They work closely with the mall's team and can communicate any issues with theft, traffic, or parking problems." (ABC10)
2. City Councilmember Scott Alvord and the Roseville Volunteer Force are working hard to raise money for a Roseville family in need. This is a neat program. The money raised is used to purchase gift cards to give to the mom of the family. She, then, gets to play Santa for the family and buy everything they need for the perfect celebration for them! If you'd like to help, you can find all of the deets at this Facebook page.
3. Folsom Lake College is getting a new science building! The community is invited to the ground breaking on November 30. "Upon completion, the 75,000-gross-square-foot instructional building will be the largest science facility within the Los Rios Community College District and will house six biology labs, six chemistry labs and a 4,000-square-foot science center." (Village Life)
4. Are you excited about the Downtown Holiday Celebration with the tree lighting on December 1? There's also a gingerbread contest and a North Pole Tavern to check out! The City of Roseville doesn't want you to miss any of the Christmas Cheer, so they've got a handy list of all of the fun at this city website.
