Hi -

The cool down is on with highs this week in the upper 60s. Still it will be mostly sunny once the morning clouds break. A very nice week ahead weatherwise. 

Remember it's Spring Break week and all schools in the Los Al School District will be off to recharge for the final push to graduation. 

Sweeping on Monday....

Tomorrow, Monday (4/21) is the third Monday of the month so it is once again sweeper day. The good news is, it's the last sweeping day this month. Remember to move your vehicles from the ODD sides of the street. Thanks!

We missed the Rossmoor Arbor Day celebration in our last issue, so want to make sure you are aware that it's happening on Tuesday this week...

Arbor Day Celebration Tuesday (4/22)

Tuesday at Rossmoor Park, Rossmoor will hold its annual Arbor Day Celebration. Our Community Services District is hosting this fun focused event that will kick off at 2:00 p.m. and include a tree planting and The Youth Center team will have arts & crafts for the kids. 

Each year we take some time out of our schedules to celebrate the urban forest that is an integral part of the beauty and established feel of the Rossmoor Community. Come join the fun with your neighbors in the park. 

RCSD Board Appoints New General Manager

At a special board meeting of the Rossmoor Community Services Board of Directors, voted 3-2 (Directors Searles, Shade & Remnet in favor, Demarco & Maynard opposed) to appoint Sharon Landers as the new District General Manager conditioned on ratification of her employment contract at their regular May 13 Board meeting. 

Ms. Landers brings over 30 years of experience in state, regional and municipal service on both coasts including half a dozen cities, several regional transportation authorities and two state agencies. She has served as City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Director of Planning in the cities of Carson, Irvine, and Rancho Cucamonga respectively.

The RHA welcomes this appointment and looks forward to working with Ms. Landers in the months ahead.

Quarterly Shredding - NEXT Saturday 4/26 

Every quarter the RHA hosts a free shredding event for area residents at Lee School in Rossmoor. We are very fortunate to have two sponsors that help cover our costs and we want to thank them. Both sponsors are based in Los Alamitos. When you see them, please stop by and say thank you for their support of our community.

State Farm Agent Patricia Megallon

Rossmoor Luxe Real Estate Agents Marni Rice & Nina Mighaccio

We greatly appreciate your generosity and support of Rossmoor!

If you have any prescription drugs kicking around your house, after you drop off your shredding, you can stop by Rush Park and drop them off on Saturday, April 26th between 10:00 and 2:00

Celebrating Local Youth at 
“A Night Among the Stars”

Sydney Mastick and Addison Butler, both Rossmoor residents, were recognized for their service and leadership in the community. Their dedication reminds us that positive change often starts right here at home.

The evening also included the presentation of five $500 scholarships, including one sponsored by the Rossmoor Homeowners Association.

The RHA scholarship was awarded to Era Berani, a passionate community leader and founder of the Bright Hearts Club and the Junior Model United Nations Club at Oak Middle School.

Era's volunteer work—including organizing a toy drive that collected 300 toys for CHOC Hospital and assisting at a local clinic—embodies the kind of heart and hustle we’re proud to support.

We extend our congratulations to Sydney, Addison, and Era, and to all the young people honored for stepping up, speaking out, and giving back.

Griffin Gazette: 

Spring into fun this spring break!

Jaslene Jones, Staff Writer with the LAHS Griffin Gazette shares some ways to spring into spring break this year. Read the full article here.

As the name suggests, spring break is a scheduled break that gives both students and staff a time to recharge before the end-of-school season. A break from academic responsibilities can be spent in various ways; while most will spend their time traveling, destinations lie right here in Southern California. In reality, these are the same destinations that people from across the globe come to explore! 

From relaxation to adventure, here’s a week of local activities and destinations to make the most of your spring break!
