Published: Sun, 10/02/22

What a beautiful weekend here in SoCal. Our temps will warm a bit to the mid-80s through next weekend. Love the not quite yet fall weather. Enjoy the neighborhood and our urban forest.

Candidates Forum - Thank You!

Thank you to all the
candidates who made room in their busy schedules to fit us in and share their evening with us at RHA's Candidate Forum held at Rush Park Auditorium.

Also - to our fantastic RHA members - your membership support helps the association afford events like this for all Rossmoor residents and surrounding communities.
Thank you!

And last but certainly not least, thanks to all who joined us, either in person (over 50 people attended in person) or online (we've had more than 170 views on the live
stream and countless views on our website) - we had a great turnout! 
 
It is your privilege and responsibility to vote - and it is our privilege to host events that help you make informed choices - choices to select people who will guide, steward, and/or represent us at the community, state, and national levels of
government.

For those who might have missed the event, here's a direct link to each candidate's profile page where we RHA provided every candidate an easy
place to share their views, personalized for Rossmoor.  Each profile page has been updated with the Town Hall segment for their particular office. Here they are (click on the candidate's name):

Congressional District 45 (map): Jay Chen , Michelle Steel

State Senate District 36 (map): Kim Carr, Janet Nguyen

Assembly District 70 (map): Diedre Thu Ha Nguyen , Tri Ta

LAUSD Trustee candidates for Area 3 (map): Rona Goldberg , Diana Hill

RCSD Board candidates (map, 2 seats):

Carol Churchill, Michael Maynard, Jeffrey Rips, Jo Shade

LATV3 is also broadcasting the full Town Hall at 9:30 a.m. 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. everyday between now and the elections.

The Rossmoor Certified Farmers Market

Remember every Thursday, the Rossmoor Farmers Market happens at Rush Park. Meet some neighbors, listen to some live music, grab a snack or cup of coffee, and support our local vendors. Keep the Market the happening place it is becoming. The Market is open from 4:00 until 7:00 p.m. See you there!

Did you see this?

Los Al USD's weekly The Wrap Up with Nichole Pichardo, has a better glimpse of Chris "Papa" Forehan in action. Los Al Board VP, Rossmoor resident and RHA member, Chris Forehan - getting slimed for a great cause. Kids raising money for our kids at Lee Elementary School.

Thanks to both Chris and the kids. Plus McAuliffe Special Education Teacher Jen Hwang’s big win on Wheel of Fortune and other updates from our school District.

Pacific Air Show - Wow

The Pacific Air Show was this weekend and the weather was near perfect for it. Sunny and clear. This photo from Staff Sgt. Crystal Housman shows the Air Force Thunderbirds taking off from JFTB. Expect increased jet and aircraft activity from the base during the show on Saturday and Sunday. Please take any precautions to help your pets with the noise if it's an issue for them. It should be a spectacular event once again this year.

Updates from both days shows are on the Pacific Airshow's Facebook and Instagram pages.
