Rossmoor's Free Get Shredded Event, Saturday, January 31st 8:00 - Noon, Lee School

Hi -

After we get another shower or two on Monday, mostly early evening, our weather should clear until Thursday afternoon into Friday morning when the next round of showers should arrive. If we meet the projections, this should be the rainiest November in 40 years, and may become the wettest November in recorded history. 

And It's Sweeper Week too!

Yes, indeedy it is... Which is really great timing as the rains and winds have filled many of our streets with a large load of leaves. This time of year is the hardest on our sweeping company as the sweeper's hoppers fill up quickly making the trucks have to leave to empty out before continuing.  When the streets are clear, the sweepers can do a better job of cleaning up Rossmoor. So, please move your vehicles and let the sweepers work! (Monday ODD sides get swept, Tuesday the even sides get swept - easy right?)

Thanks for the extra effort this week. 

 RCSD Board Appoints Landers as District's GM

The Rossmoor Community Services District Board has appointed Sharon L. Landers as its General Manager, following her service as Interim GM since May 2025.

The RHA is glad to welcome Ms Landers on a more permanent basis to manager our District. Stability and forward progress is critical for Rossmoor's parks and facilities and we have already seen her impact on Rossmoor.  

Landers brings more than twenty-five years of senior executive public service experience, including leadership roles as City Manager of Carson, Assistant City Manager of Irvine, and Interim Executive Officer for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, which serves nine counties throughout the region.

In just a few months with Rossmoor, Landers has already helped accelerate several long-standing community priorities. She completed the planning phase for the Rossmoor Park Canopy project—slated to break ground this December—identified cost-saving opportunities within the budget, and re-established long-term planning and policy practices that support steady stewardship of the community’s parks and shared infrastructure. Residents have noted her clear communication style and her thoughtful, steady approach to community concerns.

More on Sharon and the District here.

Rossmoor Community Resources Forum

The RCSD has pulled together a great group of resources for the community to connect with for this inaugural Community Resources Forum. If you have questions about our community, this is the place to bring them. There will be experts from OC Fire, OC Sheriff's Department, OC Vector & Mosquito Control, OC Public Works and a late addition of West County CERT (think preparedness for your family). This is a drop in style event that runs between 5 and 7 with some short presentations. 

Elected officials too!

A number of our RCSD Directors plan to attend the event along with our RCSD GM Sharon Landers. If you have questions about our Rossmoor parks and facilities, these are the people to ask - in person.

And our First District Supervisor Janet Nguyen and Assemblyperson Tri Ta are also scheduled to attend. 

Find out more - stop by between 5 and 7 on Thursday evening.

Griffin Gazette: 

The Amazing Fire Tech Program at LAHS 

Griffin Gazette reporters Lily Zimmerman and Joshua Lopez Hernandez visit Fire Tech to learn about baskets, harnesses and hoses. You can read the full story here on the Gazette website 

We arrived at ROP Fire Technology as they began their skills stations for the day. Students practiced knots, harness-tying, suiting up and securing patients in stokes baskets. 

Regional Occupational Program (ROP) classes are uniquely designed to prepare students to enter the labor force immediately after graduation. Fire tech serves as a standalone class, but students who take EMR and EMT can earn their paramedic license upon graduation. Mr. Weatherman, the Fire Tech teacher, is in charge of making sure the students are performing their assigned tasks correctly and guiding them in the right direction. He has been a certified paramedic since 2011. 

Here's the rest of the great photos and story.
