[rha ] Get Shredded, A Helping Hand? Great Job Rossmoor!

Published: Fri, 01/21/22

It's still looking like a great weekend weather-wise with temps in the low 70s. Next week looks mostly the same. Maybe get out an take a walk? Speaking of walking...

A Walking Goal

A friend of mine mentioned that he had set a goal for himself to walk 600 miles in 2022.

My initial thought was - WOW that's a lot of walking. But then as we were talking, I dug in a little bit. 600 miles in a year is 50 miles a month. 50 miles a month is 12.5 miles a week or just under 2 miles a day. Since its about 2000 steps in a mile for most folks, that's just 4,00 steps in a day.

Anyone who tracks their steps with a Fitbit or their phone knows that 4,000 steps is not all that hard to do, if you get out a walk a little bit. 20-30 minutes a day will get you close to that number all by itself. Funny, that a seemingly big number can be broken down into fairly manageable steps (pun intended, groans accepted). What's your walking goal for 2022? Come discuss with us in our Rossmoor Community Engagement Group.

Are You Good With Tools?

If you are handy around the house or garage and would like to lend a hand, The Youth Center is in need of some screw tightening and small fixes to help keep things for the kids in tip-top shape. If this is you, give Lina Lumme a call (562.493.4043) and let her know you'd like to help.

For many recent high school graduates, community college is now free in California. Grants and scholarships are also available to middle class families, those returning to school for mid-career changes, veterans, Dreamers, and other populations.

Please join a webinar Senator Umberg is hosting with the California Student Aid Commission on January 24 at 5:30 p.m. to learn more about how to get Cash for College. Learn about how to fill out your family's FAFSA (Free Application for Financial Student Aid) or CADAA (CA Dream Act) applications, how to apply for the Chafee Grant for Foster Youth, access the Middle Class Scholarship Fund or more!

Awesome Job Rossmoor!

Thanks Rossmoor for not only filling the drive reservations but for showing up and coming through for the Rossmoor Blood Drive. This will make a difference in the local blood shortage and is a great way to kick off our 2022 year!

Once again, you came through for others who are in need. Rossmoor is such a great place to live because of the people who are a part of the community. Thanks again!

Covid At Home Test Kits

For those of you who need a home Covid test kit, please reach out to the County and order the kits you need. They are free to OC residents and will be shipped when the County has them in stock. Turn around times have been fairly quick.

Once you take the test (following the directions in the kit) and send it into the lab (via the pre-paid FedEx package inside the kit), your results are typically available online within 24-48 hours. Our residents have experienced less than 24-hour turn around over the weekend (sent in via FedEx on Saturday, online results Sunday) so it appears at least for not the lab is working 7 days a week.

Four individual rapid antigen COVID-19 tests can also be ordered from the federal government here. The kits will be delivered via USPS and can be expected within a couple of weeks.
