Hi -

Our weather is on track to be in the mid to high 70s this week and pop into the 80s for the weekend which is perfect for the Los and and Seal Beach Concert Series and an evening (or two) in the park with Shakespeare By The Sea. More on those below. 

We do have a lot of very cool things coming up this week! Let's get into it.

We have a quick programming update from the City of Los Al regarding their July 3rd Fireworks Spectacular

Los Al July 3rd  Fireworks Spectacular Update

Due to the current JFTB activation, the Los Alamitos Fireworks Spectacular event has an alternate format this year. Please note that the PUBLIC WILL NOT be able to enter the base on July 3rd.

The fireworks show will proceed as usual starting at 9:00 PM on Thursday, July 3rd and will be streamed on Los Al's social media channels. Please see the city press release below.

Los Al Concerts on Pine Street - Thursday 6/26

Seal Beach Summer Concert Series - Wed 6/25

Supervisor Nguyen Visits Rossmoor on Friday 6/27

Shakespeare By The Sea This Weekend!

Coming to Rush Park THIS WEEKEND, Shakespeare By The Sea presents Julius Caesar and As You Like It. Both the plays begin at 7:00 p.m. and there is no admission charge to enjoy these performances. Family friendly and skillfully presented, these plays are amazing and are modeled after the live Shakespeare events in New York's Central Park. 

Grab a chair and maybe a picnic dinner or just a dessert and allow yourself to be transported to another time and place - though the storylines are still applicable to today.

Shakespeare By The Sea is a professional acting Troupe that believes these plays should be available for everyone to enjoy. They do accept contributions to help offset the performance costs. You can find out more here on their website 

On Friday, June 27th, our First District Supervisor Janet Nguyen will be at Rush Park with her mobile office hours from 10:00 to noon. Janet will be available in the East Room to discuss any of the services the county provides for Rossmoor and answer any questions you might have about the county, its current budget process or anything else Rossmoor related. 

Or if you just want to stop by to just say HI and meet our Supervisor, this is a great opportunity to do so.

Hope to see you this Friday morning!

Joseph Claypool — RWCs April Student of the Month 

Los Alamitos High senior Joseph Claypool has packed a lot into his high school years—starting on the soccer field and finishing at the podium.

Joseph kicked things off with two years playing soccer for both Los Al and his club team, FC Premier. He sharpened his skills, made lifelong friends, and even scored a game-winning goal against Huntington Beach (no big deal). Though he’s since hung up his cleats, he credits soccer with teaching him discipline, teamwork, and how to celebrate without pulling a hamstring.

Off the field, Joseph has taken on leadership roles in several clubs, including the Pickleball Club, the Kindness Collective, and National Honor Society. But his most public-facing gig? Serving as the ASB Student Representative to the Board of Education—earning him the campus nickname “Student Rep.” Each month, he briefed the Board on school life, gaining confidence and solid public speaking chops along the way.

The Rossmoor Woman’s Club is proud to recognize Joseph’s spirit of involvement, leadership, and humility (just don’t ask him about that Huntington goal—he will tell you the story). More from Joseph here.

Thanks to the RCSD Team for All You Do!

Safer Streets Start With Us - Saturday, July 12th

If you've ever worried about cars speeding down our streets or had a close call with an ebike, you're not alone—and now there's a real opportunity to do something about it.

On Saturday, July 12th from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the  Rossmoor Family Festival, Orange County Public Works (OCPW) will have important information on the County’s new Local Road Safety Program—a countywide effort focused on making local roads safer for everyone, including here in Rossmoor.

Stop by and join the conversation, talk with the team, get informed and ask your questions about how this plan specifically can improve Rossmoor's road safety. There maps of the area where you can help the county pinpoint and identify any safety issues within Rossmoor.
