[rha] Tonight - Concert & Movie in the Park & Curb Addresses

Published: Fri, 07/14/17

Tonight is going to be a terrific evening at Rush Park. The evening should be the perfect temperature and the entertainment will be fantastic.

It's our second Concert & Move night of the summer and tonight we feature King Salmon and the Lego Batman movie.

Why don't you and your family come and join us? See you there!

This upcoming week - Tonight we have our Concert & Movie at Rush Park kicking off at 6:00 p.m.. Then we have our RHA Board meeting on Tuesday evening at Rossmoor Park.

LAUSD Town Hall Meeting

The Los Alamitos Unified School District is holding a town hall meeting on Tuesday August 8th to discuss and inform the public about facilities needs, especially at Los Al High.

The District is assessing support for a Bond measure for the 2018 election cycle to cover the costs of the proposed upgrades. More info below.

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.

THANKS to those of you who see the value in having curb our addresses updated and contributed to our fund.

If you'd like to join your neighbors and 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.

Shakespeare in the Park

What's better than an evening in the park? How about a free night (or in this case two nights) of entertainment? Well the RCSD and RHA have once again brought you the masters at Shakespeare By The Sea to perform at Rush Park on July 22 and 23. Details are below.

Shakespeare in the Park

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

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.

Rossmoor Recycles: Saturday 7/29

Our next monthly Rossmoor Recycles Drive is on Saturday, July 29th Please bring your recyclable newspapers, mixed paper waste, recyclable cans, and plastic bottles to Rush Park.

Locally owned The File Depot will be in the parking lot at Rush Park to take your boxes for a Rossmoor Special of just $6 per banker sized box or if you have other sized boxes, bags or containers, the cost is just 24 cents a pound.

We’ll see you there!

8:00 AM to 12 N00N – Rush Park Parking Lot
on Blume Drive

Please separate Newspaper materials from other paper waste, e.g. cardboard and magazines and other paper materials waste. Thanks for your help!

RHA Membership

Because Rossmoor Matters

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 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 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 $30 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!
