Hi

This week's weather is going to be a bit all over the place. Monday looks like 79 and very nice. Tuesday and Wednesday the upper 80s are calling and then back to the lower 80s for the rest of the week. It's like summer is trying to make a comeback. The days continue to get shorter so the heat won't be super intense.

Street Sweeping on TUESDAY Only This Week.

Yes, this is one of those funky weeks where the first Tuesday is before the first Monday, so this week we will see the sweepers on the EVEN sides on Tuesday.  Please move your vehicles away from the even sides all-day Tuesday. Thanks! 

(Yes, next week, the odd sides will be swept on Monday...)

Candidate Night Forum

The RHA's Meet Your Candidates Forum was a great evening with more than 50 residents coming out to meet and hear the candidates share their thoughts on various questions submitted by Rossmoor residents. The recording of the full event and each segment of the event are now available here on the RHA website. We also have posted the responses to the written questions we sent to each candidate. 

There's been some discussion about the RHA's position on candidates, and as always, the RHA does not endorse or recommend any candidate for any position. This has been our long standing policy and it has not changed. We are and remain candidate neutral. 

We do encourage everyone who is registered to vote to send in or drop off their ballot after it arrives during the week of October 7th.

The show will include

the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team, and the U.S. Air Force A-10 Demo Team’s Final performance ever, 

This also means that the planes and support teams will be arriving at our Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB) this week.to stage and take on practice runs out over the Pacific. You can expect an increase in jet and helicopter activity (some call this "sounds of freedom") and the related noise during the week and much of the day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For those who love watching these precision aircraft fly and perform, this is the weekend to visit the Pub on the base. There are no public tours or the ability to see the aircraft up close or visit with the pilots that we know of at this time. That said, you can see the airfield runway from The Pub seating area.

Crystal Hearts Ball...

This year’s Crystal Hearts Ball took place on September 21 at the Marconi Automotive Museum. The Youth Center put on a fun-filled night to honor incredible organizations and individuals who have made an impact in our community. Community leaders, families and supporters gathered to support the outstanding nominees.

The Marconi Automotive Museum is located in Tustin, California and is home to over 100 vehicles worth more than $60 million. This museum holds cars from many movies, like the Batmobile from “Batman” and KIIT from “Knight Rider.”

Guests enjoyed performances from the Los Alamitos Ballet Theatre, a local dance company, dinner and speeches given by past recipients of the awards. Throughout the whole night, a silent auction and raffle were taking place to raise money for The Youth Center’s programs. After a live auction, they announced the awards.

The Crystal Hearts award winners were recognized in five different categories: individual, family, youth, organization and business. All awards were given for the remarkable difference the recipients make in their community...
