[rha] Shredding TODAY, Lynne Cox @ Library TODAY, Reading Club

Published: Sat, 01/28/23

Today (Saturday) should be beautiful, but the forecast is showing there may be a chance of rain on Sunday morning with mostly cloudy skies into Monday. This is SoCal, so you really don't know if the rain will show up, but a little more rain won't hurt anything either.

TODAY (Saturday)...

So this morning we have the free Rossmoor Shredding event at Rush Park from 8 until noon. We will be there so you can drive through and get rid of those papers you really want out of your house but don't want just anyone looking at. you know the ones I'm talking about. Get rid of the clutter and securely shred those things. It's drive-through easy and did I mention it's free?

Then at 2:00 this afternoon, Lynne Cox will be at our Los Alamitos - Rossmoor Library sharing about her new books. Lynne is a local celebrity and swimming star. Come on out and support Lynne and the Friends of the Library.

Transition Workshop for 6th-8th Grade Students

The Youth Center Leadership Council is putting on a student led workshop (February 9th & 16th from 4:00 to 5:30) that covers the secrets to moving from middle school to high school. This innovative program has been created by The Youth Center's Leadership Council to pass along the tips and tricks they picked up while making the leap to high school. This $149 program will set your son or daughter up for success at Los Al or any other high school. There are a limited number of full scholarships available, just sign up here.

A tip if the hat to Rossmoor's own Ally Hatakeyama created the Leadership Council and is the current president.

Orange County Boards, Commissions & Committees...
The best way to understand our government and how it works is to become a part of the work
and processes that guide the decisions.
Here's a starting place where many OC residents begin their involvement. Many are appointed advisory positions, and these people work together with county staff, and help the decision makers. For example if you are interested in Animal
Care Outreach, Assessment Appeals, Campaign Finance & Ethics, the John Wayne Airport Arts, or our Orange County Parks? This is the place to start. Want to learn more? Get additional details here

Community Engagement Book Club

Who's with us? OurRossmoor's Community Engagement
Coordinator is starting a Book Club!
 
This year, our theme is SUSTAINABILITY and our first book is a bestseller work of fiction, called FLIGHT BEHAVIOR (2013), by Barbara Kingsolver. Here's what the New York Times says about it:

“Marvelous…This is fiction rich in empathy, wit and science. Like the butterflies that astonish Feathertown, Kingsolvian gifts are ‘fierce and wondrous,’ ‘colors moving around like fire.’”
Our Library has copies available, plus audio versions (they count, too), or you can always purchase your own copy elsewhere. You can even access our library's online offerings to read the first two
chapters, and see if this book is interesting enough to join us. There is full summary of the book in the comments on the post in the Community Engagement Group.
The club's timeline for this and any future books will be driven by interest of its participants - we might read one book this year, we might read 12. New projects are always fun!
And if we have members who want to do more than read - there could be opportunities for virtual and in-person discussion groups - otherwise, it will be read-at-your-own-pace, and we'll do a wrap up, when
most are ready. we welcome your help in joining this outreach opportunity.
