Hi 

It looks like the weekend will be much warmer with high's in the upper 80's and low 90's. A bit warmer than usual, especially in the sun. Take proper precautions and stay hydrated.

The beautiful Saturday is a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy our beautiful parks. You can also join us at Rush Park for the last Family Foodie Festival of the season (2:00-8:00, live music & fun) or take in the Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach this weekend.

Walk To School Day - Wednesday October 6th

All four Rossmoor Elementary Schools will be taking part in #WalkToSchoolDay this Wednesday, October 6th. The students, parents and family members  will be gathering at either Rush Park (Weaver & Hopkinson Schools) or Rossmoor Park (Lee and Rossmoor Schools) about 7:30 a.m. and will proceed to walk to their perspective schools. 

While schools may still be a little different this year, building healthy (and fun!) habits is a big win for everyone. Connected and active kids learn better. Keep up the movement and activity all year round! Join us as we celebrate Walk to School Day on Wednesday, October 6th and kick-start healthy habits for better health.

Please move your vehicles and trash cans from the street (cans can be placed on the parkway) so the sweepers can do their job. Thanks!

The Pacific Airshow Returns to HB

The Pacific Airshow returns to Huntington Beach this weekend (10/1-10/3). You can expect intermittent jet noise coming from the Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB) in Los Alamitos between now and Sunday 10/3 as aircraft are staging there.

The Rossmoor Community Services District (RCSD) has scheduled two Special Board meetings to review the history of the RCSD’s pursuit of local control/latent powers and review the various services that would apply to local control.

The final format and content of these meetings has not yet been released by the RCSD.

Given the potential significant and long-term effects of the RCSD gaining local control/latent powers, we encourage you to attend these meetings, join us in discovering more about the RCSD’s plans, and ask any questions that you may have regarding the potential impacts.

The planned Special Board meetings will both take place at Rush Park int the auditorium and scheduled for:

• Thursday October 7^th at 7:00 p.m.
• Saturday October 16^th at 3:00 p.m.

The RCSD Board will also have Local Control/Latent Powers on their regular board meeting agenda in November (11/9) and or December (12/14).

Recently, Rossmoor resident and Girl Scout Kayla Teng created this very cool website for her Bronze Award.

Kayla has brilliantly explained how the “Little Free Library” project got started, how you can become a steward yourself, and mapped out the location of each Rossmoor library. Her website is better than many business websites I’ve seen.
