Hi

We are still on track to be in the mid-70s for this next week before we go back to the mid-80s next weekend.

All in all a very nice week ahead weather-wise. And it's been a welcome relief for the firefighters who have been working long shifts on the Bridge, Line and Airport Fires the past two weeks. It looks like they are gaining the upper hand on all three of them. A very good thing for the thousands of homes and residents that have been threatened.

Street Sweeping Monday & Tuesday

Yes indeed! It's the third week of the month which always means the sweepers are here to clean things up and keep the toxic dirt and grime out of our oceans. Please do you part and remove your vehicles from the streets (ODD Side Monday; EVEN side Tuesday) so the sweepers can do what we pay them to do. Thanks for your help.

This Thursday - 9/19 - The Magic of Los Al USD

The RHA is hosting our (nearly) monthly Community Conversations this Thursday, September 19th at Bethlehem Lutheran Church here in Rossmoor.

This month's topic is The Magic of Los Al Unified - we all know our schools are great - it's one of the reasons many people move into the area. But, what's the magic behind this decades long tradition of excellence? 

We will be asking this question along with a number of others when we sit down with Los Al USD Superintendent, Dr Andrew Pulver, LAEF's Executive Director, Carrie Louge, and 2nd District School Board Trustee, Chris Forehan for an informal conversation. Hope to see you there for this terrific opportunity to hear from some of our educational leaders. 

Candidate Night Questions

The RHA is hosting our regular election year Meet Your Candidates Night on Thursday, September 26th at Rush Park. The live event will start at 6:30.

We need your questions - what do you want to know from our candidates?

We have invited our 45th Congressional District candidates Michelle Steel and Derek Tran, our 70th Assembly District candidates Jimmy Pham and Tri Ta, our 1st Supervisorial District candidates Frances Marquez and Janet Nguyen, and our four Rossmoor Community Services District Candidates, Tony DeMarco, Mary Ann Remnet, Nathan Searles, and Konya Vivanti to participate.

We will be sending the candidates written questions and then asking some questions live at the event. Each candidate for an office will get to reply to the same set of questions.

Concert Ticket Price Increases....

Alizabeth Martin staff writer from the LAHS Griffin Gazette shared an insightful article on concert ticket prices and what some of the causes might be. Check out her full article here:

As concert ticket prices continue to skyrocket, many teenagers and families are experiencing a newfound struggle to afford admittance to heavily anticipated music events. This price increase has an impact on all people who wish to attend concerts, but, especially teenagers who find great enjoyment in music.

“I wanted to go to the Bruno Mars concert, (but) I lacked the financial success to afford the super expensive tickets,” said Los Alamitos High School sophomore Ethan Tran.

Highly-priced concert tickets are preventing teenagers from being able to attend their favorite artists’ tours. It isn’t fair to expect teens with little to no income to spend hundreds of dollars on one concert ticket.

As the gentle breeze of late September rolls in, bringing with it the promise of autumn, the Rotary Club of Los Alamitos, Cypress & Seal Beach is gearing up for its highly anticipated annual event—the Rotary Wine & Dine. This elegant evening, beloved by local area residents, combines the pleasures of fine wine and gourmet dining with the spirit of community service, offering a unique opportunity to come together in support of meaningful causes. 

This year, the event features a special twist: a showcase of exquisite Italian wines, offering a taste of Italy while dining on a variety of international and local cuisines. Evening includes 6 wine pours, plated dinner, dessert, a silent and live auction to raise moneys for local non-profits and benefitting local high school students. Get your tickets here
