[rha] Caroling in Rossmoor?, Rain, Toy Drive, Sees Candy!

Published: Sun, 11/12/23

Hey,

So those projections for that first real rain event of the season are still holding strong. Starting Wednesday evening through the very early morning on Saturday (projections show the rain should be clear before the Bulky Item Pick Up on Saturday morning at Rush - and that's good news!).

The storm does not look like it will include many heavy downpours, but we are still a few days out. It's pretty likely though at some point middle to late next week, that we get wet.

We have a great week ahead too. We have our annual Season of Lights Celebration continues, the Our Rossmoor Red Cross Blood Drive on Wednesday, the OCSD Fentanyl Town Hall this Thursday at Rush, the CR&R Bulky Item Pick Up & Compost Pick Up is on Saturday (at Rush), and the annual Sees Candy fundraiser is in full force for the next couple of weeks.

Remember too, that you get TWO free Bulky Item Pick Ups (each pick up can have up to 4 items) from your home each year from CR&R. You can schedule a pick up from their website - look in the column on the right for "Bulky Items"

Caroling In Rossmoor - Hosts Wanted

Wouldn't it be great to have some caroling in Rossmoor around the holidays?

We have had Santa Clause riding in is sleigh with holiday music playing as he cruised the streets of Rossmoor. And many neighbors enjoy the joy that that spreads. In other neighborhoods groups of neighbors walk along the street, knock on some doors and sing seasonal songs bring holiday cheer to their neighbors.

Lindsey Ludwig has a number of volunteer neighbors willing to walk a short loop of Rossmoor homes singing along the way. The vision is that the caroling would be done in a "progressive" style, where there are four or five homes act as "host homes" for this first (hopefully, to be annual) Rossmoor Progressive Caroling event.

The plan is for the carolers sing on Sunday, December 10th from 4:00 to 6:00. If interested neighbors to walk from host home to host home singing and bringing holiday cheer.

If you are interesting in being a host home, click here to find out more.

Once we have the host homes, we will create a route and then share it with the the neighborhood. Anyone interested in joining the singing and fun can meet the group and we'll begin walking and singing along the route.

Stay tuned for the flyer about meeting time and place to participate in the actual singing!

And thanks!

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.

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.

Fentanyl Resources

OC Health Care Agency has launched 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
