Hi
As our Labor Day Weekend is just a week away and along with it the unofficial end of summer, we want to remind you that next week the remaining schools start
on Wednesday August 31st.
First, please be careful when you're driving in Rossmoor. There will be more kids on the sidewalk and on bikes in the streets. You can also expect more Sheriff Deputies and CHP Officers to be monitoring and enforcing both speed and parking throughout Rossmoor. Key points: SLOW DOWN and BE
ALERT!
And yes, this also means that traffic over the next month will be much more congested than it has been over the past couple of months. Expect your travels in and around Rossmoor during the crunch times of 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM to take longer. Plan for it or plan to travel around these times. Sure, it may be inconvenient, but our schools and our children are some of the many reasons Rossmoor is a great
place to live (and both help keep our property values high).
A little planning and forethought just might help keep you on schedule and reduce the stress in your life.
Auto Break-Ins There has been a sharp increase in the number of reported auto burglaries in Rossmoor over the past couple of weeks. The primary targets have been tools and
items visible in the vehicles. This latest increase has primarily been in the south part of our neighborhood, but can happen anywhere.
Please make sure to LOCK YOUR VEHICLES and remove any items of interest from view. This helps discourage these types of crimes. Also, please report any crimes like these AND anyone you think looks out of place or suspicious to the Sheriff's Department so they can investigate. This is their request, so you are not bothering them.
They want to help us keep Rossmoor safe.
Help is just a simple & quick phone call away: 714.647.7000.

The Los Alamitos Education Foundation (LAEF) is proud to partner with Dr. Sherry Kropp to host the 3rd annual State of the District breakfast event on Friday, September 16th at 8:30 a.m.
“This is a
wonderful opportunity for parents and community members to come together to celebrate the success of our young people and to learn about our plans for the future,” states Dr. Kropp.
The breakfast will take place at the Eagle’s Nest clubhouse at Navy Golf Course and all net proceeds will support LAEF. It is an opportunity to connect with community members and parents
who are passionate about education and the district.
LAEF Executive Director Carrie Logue notes, “We are so appreciative of the generosity of our title sponsor, Alamitos Eye Care, and our valedictorian sponsors, BSNF Railway, Southland Credit Union and On Stage Dance Center. This support is
critical to LAEF’s work to enhance educational excellence in our community.”

Participating is a great way for your family or organization to be prepared to survive and recover quickly from big earthquakes–
wherever you live, work, or travel. ShakeOut is also a major activity of America's PrepareAthon!
ShakeOut has succeeded in preparing communities just like ours all around
the world, simply because someone told another someone about it.
Whether you do that on social media, through email, by calling a friend, visiting a neighbor, or leaving a note on a co-worker's desk, you are getting the word out there and helping to build a safer world!
We have some quick get ready videos on our site for
your viewing pleasure.

Coyote sightings in Rossmoor have been fluctuating over the past month and we have not had any pet losses reported. Thank you for your reports and the steps you've taken to make Rossmoor a less desirable place for coyotes to frequent.
Please continue to be
careful with your pets (keep them indoors or within your sight, and NO NOT leave pet food outside after feeding time).
Our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program is continuing to collect reports and monitoring coyote behavior and movement based on these reports. Please do continue to report any coyote activity on the Rossmoor Wildlife Watch website.
If you would like to find out more about our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program and discover what we are doing, please sign up for more information.
The coyote challenge we face here in Rossmoor and throughout Southern California does not have a magical
"fix it" solution. It will take a community effort (that's you and me, not "them") to keep our pets safe and reduce the risks in our neighborhood. Please learn what you can do at your home and for everyone in Rossmoor.

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. |
