[rha] Shops Health Club Update, Scholarship Awards. Signature News Mag, RCSD Mtg

Published: Fri, 02/05/16

So it looks like the rain is gone for a while and our temperatures are going to be warm, in the low and mid-80's for the next week.

A nice change, but we can use more rain. El Niño does not appear to be all that powerful this time around. At least not yet. Maybe it was more SoCal weather hype that actual weather?

Health Club Proposal Update

The Shops at Rossmoor held an informational meeting on January 26th. Rossmoor resident Pat Moore provided a very helpful summary of the meeting and what you as a community member can do to express your support and concerns, and most of all get your questions about the proposal answered. Pat's summary is in the comments section on this page.

RHA Membership

The Rossmoor Homeowners Association (RHA) is a membership funded non-profit organization and as such relies primarily on member dues and fund-raising to cover its annual costs.

What costs?

Great question, glad you asked.

The Rossmoor Homeowners Association:

Contributes to our schools through LAEF (Los Alamitos Education Foundation) in support of school projects.
Awards graduating high school residents scholarships in excess of $4,000 each year.
Coordinates and hosts numerous community events, meet the candidate nights, monthly forums, and town hall meetings, including the Rossmoor Community Festival.
Keeps the curb addresses painted and visible for emergency responders and deliveries.
Helps to fund periodic safety and security needs within Rossmoor.
Keeps the neighborhood informed and the communication channels open via the Rossmoor Signature News magazine, RHA eNews, social media platforms, and the RHA website.

And while the these costs are not great, they do add up throughout the year. And that's why we ask you to join or renew your membership with the RHA. And at $25 per household, it's a steal. Just hop on over to the RHA website and fill in your information.

You'll be supporting the RHA and its many efforts to keep Rossmoor the great place to live it is today. Join or renew today!

Be Aware - Coyotes Are Here

We are continuing to hear about coyote sightings, especially in the north end of Rossmoor. Many of these sightings have been during the mid-day. Please be careful with your pets (keep them indoors or within your sight).

Additionally, report any sightings to the Rossmoor Community Service District at 562.430.3707 or rcsd@rossmoor-csd.org with your name, address, phone number, time and date of the sighting, along with a brief description.

Rossmoor Walk & Talk

Rossmoor resident Bernie Beskind coordinates the weekly Rossmoor Walk & Talk meeting at Rush Park on Tuesday mornings at 10:30. That is unless it's raining, then there's no walk.

The program is simple enough, whoever attends forms groups of 2-4 people and walk around Rush Park and they talk. How long they walk, how fast they walk, and what they talk about is up to them. If you need a topic to talk about, Bernie will be happy to help you out.

It's a real Win-Win

Bernie's idea creates an informal way to meet your neighbors and get some exercise at the same time. It could save or at least extend your life, plus you'll get to meet some really great people. And that is a huge win-win.

Come join us! The Rossmoor Walk & Talk is open to all ages.

The more the merrier - Invite your friends and please spread the word. Rossmoor Walk & Talk meets are held every Tuesday at 10:30 AM at Rush Park.

If you have questions, please email Bernie (BernieB_90720@yahoo.com), or come see him on Tuesdays at 10:30 at Rush Park. Bernie will be the energetic guy with glasses, short hair, long in years and walking slowly.

Rossmoor. A great progressive place to live since 1957
