[rha] Rain, Pickleball, Farmers Market, Blood Drive & Shredding 😀

Published: Mon, 01/09/23

The weather forecast is holding. We will see rain late this afternoon if not before and the rain should continue through late Tuesday morning. The heaviest rain should be after 9:00 p.m. on Monday evening. After the rain clears out Tuesday, we should have nice weather until the weekend when the forecast is for more rain Saturday and into Sunday. Keep your umbrellas handy.

Pickleball Questions

On Tuesday evening the RCSD Board of Directors will consider a 90-day pickleball trial at Rossmoor Park tennis courts. The RHA has some questions that we would like addressed before another trial is approved. We sent our questions to Joe Mendoza and the RCSD Board of Directors earlier today, in the hope they can address them prior to approving any additional expenditures on pickleball.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding pickleball in Rossmoor, we encourage you to submit them to the RCSD via email or attend the RCSD meeting on Tuesday (1/10) evening at 7:00 in the Rush Park auditorium.

Rossmoor Farmers Market - Thursday

The Rossmoor Farmers Market is back this week. Let's welcome our market vendors back to Rossmoor with a good turn out. Stop by for some dinner, a coffee or to just catch up with friends after the holidays. Good times.

Rossmoor Blood Drive: Jan 18th, 9:00-3:00 @ Rush

While it's a new year, the same need for blood exists. If you are able to donate, please sign up for this month's Rossmoor Red Cross Blood Drive. It's on January 18th (the third Wednesday, just like every month) at Rush Park. They are open from 9:00 until 3:00 and while you can walk-in to donate, it's always helpful (and quicker) if you reserve your spot online first. This helps the Red Cross Team to better plan for the event. Come join us on 1/18/2023 and give the gift of life.

Senior Grocery Program

There’s no question that the pandemic has been hard on children, whether or not their schools have reopened. A flood of research in recent months has found alarming spikes in depression and anxiety among children and their parents.

Parents in our wonderful community reached out to us for help so we designed a program that can improve mental health for our youth.

View U program provides opportunities for youth to use their time in positive ways, identify and cope with problems, build self-esteem, peer leadership skills, bullying prevention activities, and mentorship opportunities. This program will serve more than 500 youth annually.

View U, is a program designed to connect and empower youth through interactive therapeutic workshops, and provide them opportunities to look deeper into themselves, learn more positive lifestyles, and enhance their capacity to make healthier life choices.

If you have a 6th to 8th grade student, consider plugging them into the View U program. Connecting with their peers is a very good thing.
