Keep Rossmoor Safe - Slow your roll to 25 MPH
Hi,
The "mini-heatwave" is still lingering on, but we should settle into the mid-80s for the next week or so. The NOAA climate folks are saying that we should have a wetter than normal winter from
November to January. It always feels like those projections miss the mark, but a wet winter would make sense mostly because we just had a very wet winter 😀
In any case, Thursday should be about perfect for the....
Rossmoor Farmers Market!
You know the deal - every Thursday from 4 to 7 at Rush Park the Rossmoor Certified Farmers Market takes place. It's a great place to grab dinner or some wonderful summer produce, meet some friends and relax a bit. Call it your pre-weekend celebration. It's a fun grab and go marketplace - so will we see you there Thursday afternoon?

OCFA Sends Urban Search & Rescue Teams to Maui to Aid in Recovery

Our hearts go out to those who have been affected by the devastating fires in Maui. Our very own Orange County Fire Authority has sent two of their K9 detection teams to Maui to assist in the recovery efforts.
Thank you OCFA for representing the very best of Orange County
On Monday, August
28th, dine in, pick up, or take out some of the delicious food from Lucille's Smokehouse in the Long Beach Towne Center (605 at Carson) - mention Project Leap or grab a flyer and Project Leap will get 20% for Lee school.
As school starts in full force, it's easy to forget how much our schools depend on the great work their PTAs and Friends Of do to support the programs and opportunities our kids are enriched by and enjoy.
The RHA partners with the PTAs to help let you know how you can help support our
schools.
We call this program HUGS for Our Schools. It's super simple. The PTAs from our schools let us know when they are having "Dine For Dollars" nights or other opportunities that you can help them raise money for the school programs and we put those events on our HUGS
page. This way, when you want to go out for a lunch or dinner (depending on the restaurant), you can look in one place to find out which schools are hosting fund raising events.
It's a win for you (one place to look), our schools (they get a percentage of the money you spend), and our local restaurants.
