Hi
Our unseasonably warm weather will continue tomorrow and stay in the upper 70's for much of the week. A very good time to get outside for some fresh air and sunshine (Vitamin D is a good thing). And if you can get some exercise and brighten someone's day while you are at it, all the better.
In addition to our School Spotlight, we have some information on some really cool coming events for the holiday season, including our annual Rossmoor Toy Drive, Rossmoor Woman's Club Holiday Bazaar, Rossmoor Winter Festival, and of course our Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration.
Get your calendars out and enjoy the read!
Rossmoor Toy Drive - It's For The Kids
The holidays are almost here and The Youth Center still has more local families in need than they have gifts and gift cards. You know the past couple of years have been, shall we say different. Its' has an impact on families in our area, even some here in Rossmoor. If you can find the time to shop online or go to Target, Wal-Mart, or your choice of toy sellers, please do and help make this holiday season a bit
more jolly for these families. Drop off information is below
Done For You Option: If you want The Youth Center to do the shopping for you, just make a donation here and make a note saying Toy Drive and they will take care of things for you. What could be easier?
Rossmoor Woman's Club to Host Holiday Bazaar
The Rossmoor Woman's Club is hosting an outdoor Holiday Bazaar Fundraiser on Sunday, December 5th from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. in the parking lot behind Farmers and Merchants Bank in the Shops at Rossmoor. This event will replace the famed Holiday Home Tour due to Covid concerns.

School Spotlight - Hopkinson School
|
This week Hopkinson School reminds us that any family with a 4th grade student can enjoy all sorts of free adventures at all 19 of California's State Parks - for the full year - including the summer. This is a great way to get outdoors, at no cost to your family.
How do you take advantage of this statewide program? Super easy. The student's parent or guardian just goes to ReserveCalifornia.com or call (800) 444-7275. Then set up a profile by providing their name, address, phone number and email address, and
the free California State Park Adventure Pass will be sent to their email. Super simple.
Once you’ve got your Adventure Pass, you can use it by either printing it out or keeping it on your phone to show a uniformed state park staffer at one of these 19 state parks that include
Silver Strand State Beach (Coronado), the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Chino Hills State Park and the State Railroad museum in Sacramento. Go start your adventures and thank you Hopkinson School for reminding us of this awesome opportunity!

It's Up On the Rooftop Time
There’s nothing quite like the joy of relaxing in a lounge chair across the street from your house, with your favorite beverage in hand, admiring the Christmas Lights display you broke your back assembling over the past few days.
Hang on! We’re not encouraging any lounge chairs, yet!! (*drum roll*) It’s that time of year! It’s time for you to bask in the holiday cheer and spread the Christmas spirit to all of Rossmoor!
Yes, the Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration is back for its 15th year, and we’re calling on all the Christmas Lights veteran crazies (and 1st-time rookie entrants) to unpack the boxes of colored lights, winter wonderland figures, and anything that glows to prepare a display across your house and lawn for all to enjoy. On certain streets, there may even be a few Woodstocks stowed away
in those boxes?
Let the decorating and festivities begin!
Start by signing your house up (or a well-decorated neighbor’s house) for the RHA Christmas Lights Celebration! Judges will roam the streets on Sunday, December 12th and winning homes will be announced here on the RHA website by Wednesday, December 15th.
We will have prizes for those that nominate decked out houses too, so get the scoop and start getting ready. Things start to get popping right after Thanksgiving!
Complete schedule and details (including the Lights Bike Tour) here.

Our Annual Rossmoor Toy Drive runs 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 toy or cash 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.
Our Rossmoor. A great place to live since 1957
