Hi
The hot weather pattern is still in place with upper 80's and lower 90's forecast for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday and into the next week should be much cooler. There is a good chance the heat will be accompanied by Santa An winds. This could be a great time to fly a kite in one of our terrific neighborhood parks.
Rossmoor Red Cross Blood Drive - This Wednesday

National Native American Heritage Month
What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S., has resulted in the full month of November being designated for that purpose.
One of the very proponents of an American Indian Day was Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a Seneca Indian, who was the director of the Museum of Arts and Science in Rochester, N.Y. He persuaded the Boy Scouts of America to set aside a day for the “First Americans” and for three years they adopted such a day. In 1915, the annual Congress of the American Indian Association meeting in Lawrence, Kans., formally approved a plan concerning American Indian
Day. It directed its president, Rev. Sherman Coolidge, an Arapahoe, to call upon the country to observe such a day. Coolidge issued a proclamation on Sept. 28, 1915, which declared the second Saturday of each May as an American Indian Day and contained the first formal appeal for recognition of Indians as citizens.
In 1990 President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 “National American Indian Heritage Month.” Similar proclamations, under variants on the name (including “Native American Heritage Month” and “National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month”) have been issued each year since 1994.

Our Annual Rossmoor Toy Drive is running the full month of November.
The needs of local families served by The Youth Center's holiday program have never been greater. There are so many families in need. Please make a donation if you are able to.
There are two ways to you can help. First, you can go shopping and purchase gifts for children ages 3 to 17 and drop them off at Ganahl Lumber, the Friends of the Los Alamitos-Rossmoor Library, or The Youth Center (addresses above) during regular business hours.
Or the second way, makes it super easy for you by letting The Youth Center team take care of the buying for you. You can do this by making a donation to The Youth Center (click here) and you may even be able to deduct the gift on your taxes.

This week Lee School honors Julie Hermosura as their Volunteer of the Week.
Julie is to thank for all the beautiful BLUE DAY decorations! She wrapped the entire school in blue swag, coordinated with the balloon artist, and worked with the yard sign vendor to create the perfect celebration sign.
The Lee kids and families could not be more appreciative of everything have done to make our school a beautiful and fun place to celebrate!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION, Julie. She is mom to two awesome FORMER Leos! That's right....she no longer has a Leo attending our school, but she dedicates her time to volunteer for the teachers and staff she continues love.
We are forever grateful for you, Julie! Thank you for the time, commitment and dedication you bring to Lee School. Team LEE is lucky to have you!
