1. Some folks in Roseville wear their support for pediatric patients on their sleeves — or rather, their arms. Wild Bill's Tattoo in Roseville holds a tattoo-a-thon every year to raise money for UC Davis Children’s Hospital. To date, the tattoo parlor raised over $275,000 for the cause through these events. Tattoo artists volunteer their time, and all money from the tattoos, including tips, is donated. Some artists even fly in for the event. (ABC10.com KXTV)
2. La Huaca Peruvian restaurant is back in business in Roseville! The restaurant changed locations and can now be found at 1850 Douglas Boulevard. It took almost a year to get back up and running, but guests say the Peruvian food was worth the wait. La Huaca General Manager Laura Morales said the restaurant will soon have folk dances and live music to go along with the authentic fare. (ABC10.com KXTV)
3. The Placer County Board of Supervisors approved $600,000 to help local workers, especially in East County, afford housing in the area.

• The City of Roseville wants you to know about a service that the U.S. Postal Service offers. "Informed Delivery, a free tool offered to most US Zip Codes since 2017, sends an email containing images of the mail you should be receiving in your mailbox each day mail is delivered." If you know what mail is supposed to be there, and you find any missing, this service helps you "deter any subsequent fraud." (roseville.ca.us)
