[rha] Festival Recap, Mosquitoes, & HUGS x 3 Next Week

Published: Sat, 09/09/23

Hi,

It's hot! At least if you were outside the last couple of days. It looks like we will be back into the much more comfortable upper 70s by mid-week. At least that's something ot look forward to.

The last Rossmoor Family Festival of the summer, while it was warm, was really a fun day. There were a lot of neighbors who came out to listen to some quality music capped off by the local favorite StoneSoul

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the OurRossmoor booth. We passed out over 200 Kelly Laird Smith cooling towels, which made the afternoon much nicer for those attending the Festival. The popular towels help cool you down through evaporation and can be used 100s of times. A big south out to Kelly for helping us make everyone a little more comfortable, and feeling cooler.

As the temperatures came down in the early evening, we were able to hand out some mosquito wipes from Orange County Mosquito & Vector Control to Festival attendees along with their home mosquito checklist.

By taking action, we can help reduce the number of these blood suckers by using the free home inspection checklist to check our own properties for mosquito breeding grounds, It all starts with us. We have more information below.

Kids Night Out - Friday September 15th

The Youth Center is back with their monthly Kids Night Out events. These events are a great way for parents (or grandparents) to give their kids an evening of fun and entertainment at The Youth Center, while getting some time for themselves. See The Youth Center website for more information, or if you just want to make reservations directly , you can do that here.

If you're the type that like to plan ahead, the next Kids Night Out events are Fridays 10/20, 11/17 and 12/15. Start planning your blissful evening with no kids and make your reservations today!

Are You Breeding Mosquitoes?

The OC Mosquito & Vector Control District -- another of the Special Districts that serves Rossmoor and our surrounding communities, has some great ways to protect our pets and family.

Specifically mosquitos can carry West Nile Disease. Partnering with the County, we are all better off. We really like the comprehensive DIY checklist from them, that helps us self-audit our homes. Be a good neighbor, check your place for mosquito growing grounds.
