Hi
Now that the heat has broken, we should be in for a nice weekend.
One note, voter registration for Orange
County ends on Monday October 24th. Please register to vote and then cast your ballot. Your vote could be the difference in the local RCSD and School Board elections.
Town Hall Conversation Series Our first Town Hall Conversation was with the Los Alamitos Unified School
District. LAUSD Superintendent Dr. Sherry Kropp, Assistant Superintendent Ondrea Reed, and Dr. Jeff Barke from the LAUSD Board of Directors, gave a great presentation and answered questions from both the Board and the audience. It was a good evening with good information. Thanks to Dr. Kropp and her team for visiting us.
Our November Town Hall Conversation will be held on Tuesday, November 15 and our guest will be the California Highway Patrol who will highlight the CHP and how they serve Rossmoor. The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m.
Please come early as seating is limited and we expect a fairly large crowd.
Future Town Hall Conversations will include discussions with Supervisor Steel, the OCSD, and the RCSD. If you would like for us to schedule a specific topic for a future RHA Mini-Town Hall meeting, please let us know by calling 562.799.1401 or via our
website Prescription Drug Take-Back Event Do you have old, expired, or no-longer-needed prescription or over the counter drugs in your home? If you do, this event is for you:
On Saturday October 22 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM the Los Alamitos Police Department along with the Los Alamitos Unified School District are holding a Prescription Drug Take-Back event. Now is the time to clear out those unneeded drugs and medications and dispose of them properly (oh
and NEVER flush them). More details can be found here

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. |
