[rha] ShakeOut, Farmers Market, Vote, Kids Night Out😀

Published: Wed, 10/19/22

Our min-heatwave should will continue through tomorrow with highs once again in mid-80s. On Friday we should be back into the mid- to low-70s for the weekend and on into next week. Tomorrow will be prefect for stopping by the Rossmoor Farmers Market.

ShakeOut Thursday Morning

Before the Rossmoor Farmers Market on Thursday, the world's largest earthquake drill will happen at 10:20 a.m. That's when the Great ShakeOut will happen. This earthquake awareness drill is an important reminder that a quake can happen at any time of day and can be centered almost anywhere in Southern California. Will you be ready? Does your family know what to do? Do you have a reunion point for your family (really important when your cell phone doesn't work)? Take a few minutes and think about it. Get started with the resources here.

Delicious tasting, pick up some for dinner or order up a dozen or two tamales for your upcoming holiday meals. Give them a try they are guaranteed to be a success.

Me Gusta uses only the finest ingredients available like 0 Trans Fat margarine, the finest trimmest cuts of meat, 100% real Monterrey Jack Cheese. They DO NOT USE lard! You will really enjoy all their fresh tamale options!
