We hope that all the fathers out there had a great day today.

It looks like we will continue to be in the mid-70's until next weekend when we push into the upper 70s on Friday and Saturday. Sunday could break the 80 degree mark.

It's been nice and sunny in the afternoons. Such a great time of year here in Rossmoor.

Sweeping This Week - Monday & Tuesday

It's the 3rd week of the month and you know what that means - Exactly, the street sweepers will be here on Monday and Tuesday. You know what to do to help keep our storm channels and ultimately our oceans cleaner, right?

Yes! Please move your vehicles from the street so the sweepers can do their job. Thanks!

RHA Adopt-A-Channel Signs

This past week The County installed our Adopt-A-Channel signs in four locations in Rossmoor. These signs are part of the countywide program that helps to recognize the partnership between Orange County and the groups and organizations that help keep the channels free of trash and debris. We are truly grateful to be able to help.

Contest Time

As we mentioned, there are 4 of these signs in Rossmoor. See if you can find all four them by the end of the month. If you do, reply to this email with the location (street and cross street). If you are one of the first 4 people to respond with the correct sign locations, we will get you a gift. Just a little summer fun from the RHA.

June Community Conversation

On June 27th, we have a presentation by Megan Witbracht and her team from UCI MIND on Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. She will explain the importance of early testing and implementing healthy lifestyle practices protect the brain as we age and reduce the risk of memory problems later in life.

Join us for this no-cost, community get-together. For more than 30 years, UCI MIND has been at the forefront of Alzheimer’s disease research. It is home to one of the NIH-funded Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers in the United States and is the only Center in Orange County.

Rossmoor Community Conversations are driven by community requests. If there’s a community relevant topic that you’d like to hear more about, please let us know. We will do what we can to find a subject matter expert to share in a future Community Conversation.

See Shakespeare Live In Rush Park!

Well, maybe not good old William himself, but a couple of his plays will be performed. I'm sure they will be more entertaining than William anyway.

Friday July 5th and Saturday, July 6th at 7:00 PM

Here's the link to the digital programs for everything you'll want to know: synopsis of the shows, performers, producers, sponsors, other locations, how to support.....

This is the 14th consecutive season Rossmoor will enjoy Shakespeare the Sea family-friendly live Shakespearean plays in our park (excluding our co-vid year). All performances are FREE to the public, with donations gladly accepted - costs to produce have gone up astronomically.

BTW, because of our long-standing relationship with SBTS, Rossmoor is one of only 3 Orange County locations presenting Henry IV and Cardenio this summer, and the only one to be performing both shows. Come picnic with us.

Are You A Puzzler?

Puzzles can be so much fun. On your own, with others over days or weeks or as a team in speed competition that completes a 500piece puzzle in less than an hour, there are a many ways to enjoy puzzles.

Located in the Rossmoor/Seal Beach area of north Coastal Orange County, the Peaceful Puzzle Library & Exchange was started in March of 202 to support the puzzler community during the pandemic and has has been growing ever since. The Exchange has approximately 800 jigsaw puzzles ranging from 300-3,000 pieces, organized in multiple PDF catalogs.

The Exchange is operated this like a library, check out a few, return, check out some more, rinse/repeat. Join the group if you'd like to view the catalogs! It's free to belong and enjoy the mind work that puzzling provides.

The Exchange also host in-person puzzle swaps and puzzle contests too. Join the Group to find out more.

Did you see this....

Thank You Council Member Doby!

Los Alamitos City Councilmember Tonya Doby who serves on the Orange County Public Library Advisory Board, was kind enough to provided us with an update on the Los Alamitos-Rossmoor enhancement project. You can read the full note here, but the bottom line is that due to unforeseen issues that needed to be fixed, the county is aiming for a late summer or early fall (grand) reopening.

The library is a terrific resource for everyone in the Rossmoor/Los Alamitos area and we are glad that it's on track to be completed later this year.

The Youth Center ROCKS!

The 2024-2025 School Year After School Academy and Rossmoor RASCALS programs are taking sign ups now. Make sure to get your student signed up for next school year, and get a little snack account bonus if you get it done by July 4th. Win-Win, right?

Oh and...
