[rha] Street Address Number Painting & Concert & Movie in the Park

Published: Sun, 07/09/17



Hi

It looks like summer is here! While we are not scorching, we are seeing temperatures in the mid and upper 80's most of the time. Make sure to take precautions to drink enough water and protect yourself from the sun's damaging rays during the middle of the day (10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). 

This week - We have the regular RCSD meeting on Tuesday evening at Rush Park and on Friday we have the second of three Concert and Movie in the Park events. These fun evenings are put on by the RCSD staff and are enjoyed by many Rossmoor residents. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to the RCSD staff for again putting these event on for us. 

Curb Street Number Painting Update
The RHA has contracted to have all of the street numbers on our curbs repainted. For more than a decade the RHA has scheduled and paid for this service which costs a bit more than $10,000 every three years or so.

The painting is slated to begin in July and will continue for a few weeks as the contractor works through the tract. If you have questions, please contact us (the RHA) at info@Rossmoor-RHA.org, or by replying to this email.  

If you'd like to make a donation to help off-set this expense, you can do so here on the RHA site. And thank you for your support.

We will provide updates on the progress once the painting gets started.

Concert & Movie in the Park 
Concert & Movie in the Park
Concerts and Movies in the Park are back this summer with a terrific line up.

For July, King Salmon will play for your listening and dancing pleasure followed by the family film "Lego Batman." The band starts at 6:00 p.m. followed by the movie at dusk. Come out and join us for one or both at Rush Park. Please bring your blankets and chairs, insect repellent and even a picnic dinner.

These events are free and very popular with the neighborhood, so you may want to show up a bit early.

Bring a blanket or chairs and join in the fun!

 Shakespeare in the Park 
On Saturday (7/22) and Sunday (7/23) our friends at Shakespeare by the Sea will be presenting MacBeth and The Taming of the Shrew. Rush Park is the perfect place to see these plays put on by these terrific actors.

These live performances begin at 7:00 p.m each evening and are sure to please all in attendance. 
 
Bring your picnic dinner and a blanket or two and enjoy an evening out in the park
 
Rossmoor Walk & Talk
 
Rossmoor residents Bernie Beskind & Herb Halling 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.

NEW WALK ADDED!
Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. at Rush Park, there is a new group of walkers. Plan to join them next Thursday to walk and talk

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 Wildlife Watch
Coyotes in Rossmoor

Coyote sightings in Rossmoor have decreased to almost zero over the past couple of months. The coyote gates are down and that is a big help. Other easier food sources seem to be available to the local coyotes as well. Unfortunately, reduced sightings/reports does not indicate the coyotes are not in Rossmoor. They are still here. 

For those of you who have made reports, THANK YOU. You are helping us track coyote behavior which is critical to any future removal attempts.

Please continue to be careful with your pets (keep them indoors or within your sight, and DO NOT leave pet food outside after feeding time).

Our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program continues to collect reports and monitors coyote behavior and movement based on these reports. Please continue to report any coyote activity you see 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.

Please report any coyote sightings here: RossmoorWildlife.org/report

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.
