Hi

It looks like we will have a bit of a warming trend that will take us into the mid-80s on Wednesday and then back into the low 70s for the weekend.

The evenings will remain in the mid- to lower-60s which makes it much nicer for sleeping and walking in the neighborhood. 

Street Sweeping Monday & Tuesday 

On Monday and Tuesday this week the Street Sweepers will be here to sweep our streets and pick up that first round of leaves and debris. Please be helpful and move your vehicles (and waste carts) from the side of the street that is being swept. It helps the sweepers and it helps the environment. It's a win-win. Thanks for your support.

October's Get Shredded - Saturday October 29th

Earthquakes may happen anywhere you work, live, or travel. Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills are our chance to practice together how to protect ourselves, and for everyone to become prepared. The goal is to save lives and prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes.

On 10/20, join millions of participants who want to take earthquake-safe action when seconds count. In order to act quickly, you must practice what to do – ShakeOut is that opportunity. Register for free at ShakeOut.org/register to learn more about what to do. Invite friends and family to practice for their safety, too!

On Wednesday, 10/19,  the other two schools will hold their Walk To School Day. Rossmoor School will meet at Rossmoor Park (Baskerville & Kerth) for a 7:15 departure and Hopkinson School will meet at Rush Park (Chianti & Blume) for a 7:25 departure.

If you are out and about Wednesday morning near either park or the routes to the schools, please use caution and expect some delays as the student, staff, and parent walkers cross the streets on their way to school.

Due to popular demand and regulations, the Orange County Public Works Department will begin installing no parking signs on streets throughout Rossmoor.

The hopes are that these signs will help remind people which side of the street is being swept on which days. The reminder sign program should help everyone be much clearer about when they need to move their vehicles (and waste carts) from the street.

The signs will begin to appear the week of October 17th and will eventually become part of every block in the tract.

It’s Not About the Signs, It’s the Environment

Remember, that it’s not about the signs or the parking ticket you may get for ignoring them. It’s about our streets and the way they affect our environment. Everyone plays a part in keeping our storm drains clear – just because you don’t see things in your gutter, doesn’t mean your street is clean!

Keep our oceans (we drain to Seal Beach) clean. Our families (and fish) swim in them!

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.
