Shredded Event, Saturday, January 31st 8:00 - Noon, Lee School
Only in SoCal! After a couple windy days, we are going to warm up to the mid and upper 70s by next weekend. Our plants are going to explode with the warm days after such a great soaking to start the year. We've received some questions about the annual Our Rossmoor magazine that recaps 2025 and celebrates what's ahead for Rossmoor in 2026. It's a bit later than normal this year. It's with the printers now. You can expect it in your mail boxes in a little more than a week. The good news is that with the later publication date, we were able to include photos from this year's Rossmoor Winter Festival and Christmas Lights Celebration. Look for it the week of January
19th.
