We love it when we get to use graphics and artwork created by our students. The image above is the creation of Kendyl Jeang, one of the Student Representatives on the RHA Board of Directors. Thanks for being so creative Kendyl! While much of Southern California is sweating it out under high and extremely temperatures, it looks like we will be spared this round. Our highs look like the will reach the mid-80s, with Sunday being the hottest day, before our temps slide back to the upper 70's early next week. It will be warm, so please stay hydrated and avoid the sun during the hot part of the afternoon, if you
can. Summer Schedule - It will keep you hopping Summer is always a bit busy here in Rossmoor. This year is no different with Moon Pie rides, Live band concerts in both Los Al and Seal Beach, family
festivals, two live Shakespeare plays, and our Community Conversations (next week, learn how to help keep Alzheimer's Disease away longer). Lot's to do, so let's get right to it...
June Community Conversation |
On June 27th, we will have a presentation by Megan Witbracht, PhD. 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. Thursday, June 27th from 7 to 8:30 p.m. 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.

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. (Update: one correct entry has already been received! Get busy discovering the signs.) 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 King Henry IV (Friday) King Henry IV, having usurped the throne from Richard II, faces a rebellion against him led by the Earl of Northumberland, his brother the Earl of Worcester and his son Henry Percy,
called Hotspur. They join forces with Edmund Mortimer, a strong claimant to the throne though his relation to Richard II, and the Welsh rebel Owen Glendower. Adventures ensue with a robbery, plot twists, and in the end denial. Cardenio (Saturday) This is a new adaptation of
a lost play by Shakespeare & Fletcher. CoAdapters Jonathan Fisher and Anna Miles have written additional material to build a framework and context around this rarely-performed play: London, 1613. William Shakespeare has been commissioned to write one last play before his retirement and enlists his fellow playwright and protégé John Fletcher to
help him write it: an adaptation of an episode from Cervantes’ novel Don Quixote called Cardenio. Check out the synopsis and learn more about the Artists in SBTS' digital programs that includes everything you'll want to know: synopsis of the shows, performers, producers, sponsors, and 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. Drop-In Pickleball - Free Since there is a lot of interest about pickleball, we thought we'd let you know about the free, drop-in pickleball sessions being hosted by
Los Al Parks & Rec. The sessions are on each Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to noon and again from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Gym on JFTB (it's next to the pool). Check out pickleball and enjoy open play for
free NOW through the end of July. The County of Orange is updating its General Plan which serves as a long-term guide for decisions on future growth and development in the County’s unincorporated areas. The General Plan will serve as a decision-making tool to address issues such as new
growth, housing needs and environmental protection, as well as regional services and facilities such as parks, roads and flood control facilities. This General Plan Update is a way for you to share your vision for the future of your community. We encourage the public to participate in this process to make the General Plan a
success. Please take the survey and find additional information and public meeting times here on the OC Planning page. 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. Thank You Council Member Doby! Los Alamitos City Councilmember Tanya 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. Our Rossmoor. A great place to live since 1957 |
