The RHA Board of Directors are the 9 resident members of the Association that guide the Association and make decisions on behalf of the members. Nominations for Association
members who would like to serve as a director open in mid-March each year and close on April 7th. If you are interested in applying to be a Director for the 2026-2028 term, please
complete this application. A member of our Nominations Committee will contact you to discuss the application and to verify eligibility. Our Nominating Committee will present the slate of candidates for the 2026-2028 term at the regular April board meeting. If an Association vote is necessary,
ballots will be mailed in May and the 2026-2027 Board of Directors will be announced at the regular June RHA Board meeting. Los Al Link Helps Get People Around Town Running errands should not feel like planning a moon landing. But for many people—especially older adults who would rather not drive across town, hunt for parking, or navigate busy streets—it sometimes does. That’s where Los Al Link quietly enters the
picture. If you have not heard of it yet, Los Al Link is a new on-demand transportation service launched by the City of Los Alamitos to help residents and visitors get around town safely, conveniently, and with a lot less hassle. Think of it as a friendly neighborhood version of Uber—except it’s electric, easy to schedule, and for
residents 50 and older, completely free. Pickups and drop-offs can be scheduled from anywhere within Los Alamitos city limits. Pickup and drop-off locations also include several nearby retail centers: • The Shops at Rossmoor
• Old Ranch Town
Center (home to Target and Ralphs)
• Rossmoor Village Square (home to Polly’s Pies and The Meat Company) From those locations, riders can travel to any destination within Los Alamitos—and return when they’re ready. One important detail: Los Al Link does
not provide residential pickups within Rossmoor itself. Riders would simply start their trip at one of the nearby retail pickup locations. Still, for many residents, that short hop to a pickup location opens the door to easy transportation across town.

These addresses are critical for emergency services as well as delivery services to find your home. And the uniform look adds to the neighborhood's
clean, consistent look. Did you know there are, over 3,400 addresses that are hand painted by Curbrite Addressing. The Curbrite team started in early March at the north end of the tract. The project should take about 4 weeks to complete, weather permitting. Check your address to see if it has already been painted.

The Youth CenterA
new, hands-on program at The Youth Center introduces young students to medicine, health and the human body through interactive learning Alizabeth Martin, Deputy Editor for the Griffin Gazette spotlights this new, student led interactive learning experience. On This year, a new and exciting program came to The Youth Center: Anatomy Adventure. As more than just a typical after-school program, Anatomy Adventure provides an opportunity for young students to explore the incredible world inside their bodies and learn essential life
skills. Designed for students in grades two through six, this science program is 10-weeks long and focuses on introducing students to the fundamentals of medicine and biology in a digestible manner. Meeting on Thursdays from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at The Youth Center, the class aims to provide high-quality science enrichment to students in the community. Starting earlyFor most students, serious exposure to biology and medicine doesn’t happen until high school; even then, some students feel unsure about what excites them academically. Anatomy Adventure challenges that timeline. Adrian Lopez, a junior at LAHS and the program’s founder, experienced that firsthand. His passion for
medicine did not emerge until high school, but once it did, he knew he had found his field. Reflecting, Lopez realized something important: young students don’t always have access to resources that allow them to explore their interests and develop passion, and that needs to change. From here, Lopez partnered with The Youth Center to create Anatomy
Adventure. “It means a lot to me to have been given the opportunity to develop this program alongside the Youth Center,” Lopez said. Starting early matters. Research consistently shows that early exposure to STEM fields
increases long-term interest and confidence. When students are excitedly introduced to science, they are more likely to feel capable in those subjects later on. Anatomy Adventure provides that early spark. Science you can touchOne of the most impactful aspects of the program is its hands-on and interactive structure. Each week, the class focuses on a different system of the
human body, including but not limited to the heart, brain and digestive system. Instead of simply reading or hearing information about these systems, students conduct experiments, build models and engage in activities that make learning tangible. Active participation in learning is a powerful way to build skills. When students can see and build what they are learning about, their understanding of science moves from abstract to
concrete, and the concepts stick. This transports students beyond ...Click for the rest of the story... Photo credit: The Youth Center Rossmoor Red Cross Blood Drive 605-Katella Construction Update - Week of 3/9/2026 We will update our 605-Katella Project page when we get updates from the OCTA.
