[rha] Fall Back, 405 Express Lanes, Health Fair, Compost & Fentanyl Events

Published: Fri, 11/03/23

Hey,

What a beautiful weekend! Now that our temperatures have settled back into the mid-70s, and there's a bit of crispness in our evenings (okay, as much crispness as we typically get here in SoCal), later afternoon/early evening walks are about perfect.

And as the image reminds us, it's time to fall back this weekend. That's right you get an extra hour of sleep (if you choose to accept it) as we move our clocks back an hour early Sunday morning. .

Street Sweeping Monday & Tuesday

This upcoming Monday and Tuesday are street sweeping days. You know the drill, please move your vehicles (and waste carts) from the ODD side if the street on Monday and the EVEN side on Tuesday so our street sweepers cna clean the dirt and debris from the roadways

Every box shredded is one box that stays out of our landfills, and small amounts add up to big results. Good job Rossmoor!

National Caregiver Month - November

Here's the thing about caregiving: more often than not, a caregiver is unprepared for the role, and underestimates how much time and invested energy it requires. And the one needing care often resists help, or feels no need for assistance.

This is normal, and the Alzheimer's Family Center, with their counseling sessions and care, provides much needed information and support. Reach out to them if you are feeling overwhelmed or your family member has increasing care needs related to supporting their dementia journey. More info here.

Fentanyl Resources

OC Health Care Agency is launching a Fentanyl is Forever media campaign. Our youth are particularly at risk and the agency has created a education and awareness campaign to help residents better understand the dangers and what they can do about it.

Please take note: This is about Fentanyl-related deaths, not Fentanyl overdoses.

We have created a Fentanyl Resources page to hep jump-start your fentanyl education. More information here

It doesn't take much: A quantity of fentanyl the size of two grains of salt is enough to kill. We cannot over-stress the urgency of this situation. Everyone needs to have the facts, in order to protect our communities - and all children.

OCSD is holding a Town Hall on the Fentanyl Crisis

On Thursday, November 16th at the Rush Park Auditorium from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Stop by the Rossmoor Certified Farmers Market for dinner and then stop in to find out more about fentanyl, the signs and symptoms and how to protect your family.

Did you see this....?

We're all about sharing fun learning activities. Rossmoor is proud to be recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA for the past 13 years. Help our younger residents learn why this award is so special to us, while we encourage their artistic talents, as well.

This contest, sponsored by CaliforniaReleaf.org is information-packed - and fun. California ReLeaf works statewide to promote alliances among community-based groups, individuals, industry, and government agencies, encouraging each to contribute to the livability of our cities and the protection of our environment by planting and caring for trees.
