Today in Roseville:

• Join the All Acoustic Jam at The Strum Shop in Roseville. If you play guitar, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, harmonica, washboard or whatever, and want to get together with other acoustic players, this is the jam for you. (6 p.m.)
• Join your neighbors at La Provence Restaurant & Terrace for another fantastic wine dinner perfectly executed by our Chef team and service staff. This time, paired with the remarkable Flora Springs Wines. (6:30 p.m.)
• The path to homeownership looks different for everyone. This is a 1.5 hour interactive evening that will leave you with enough knowledge about the housing market and the mortgage process of getting preapproved. This Wine, Cheese and Keys Please event will take place at Raley's O-N-E. (6:30 p.m.)

From my notebook:

• Shout Out to Kaden Wallace and Tyler Henderson. The two young men from the Woodcreek High Cross Country team stayed after the football game was done and everyone else left to voluntarily clean up the trash in the student section. When Mrs. Stewart and Mr. Harvey approached them, they said, "We know the school is short on custodians and it seemed disrespectful to just leave it like this." We love our Roseville youth!

• Looking to add a furry friend to your family? Look no further than these Roseville animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week’s list of animals available for adoption near you. (Roseville Patch)
