[rha ] Nominate Your Vet of the Year, Shredding & Supervisor Redistricting

Published: Mon, 10/25/21

It looks like a little mid-day drizzle (rain?) is on our way today and the we should have a nice week weather-wise.

It's a busy time here in Rossmoor and with the holidays now upon us, it seems like the race to the end of the year is on.

If you are out and about in the urban forest we call Rossmoor, take a look around and see who's in the holiday spirit and let us know so we can recognize them.

County Supervisorial Redistricting Map Proposals

The County of Orange has received eight (8) proposals for how to redraw the County Supervisorial Districts for the next 10 years. Redistricting is the regular process of adjusting the lines of voting districts, including Orange County’s Supervisorial Districts, in accordance with population shifts. The redistricting process is done every 10 years for local, state, and federal governmental bodies by using updated Census data.

These maps only apply to the Supervisorial Districts and will apply to the upcoming June 2022 elections. These maps are strictly about how the County's Supervisorial District lines are drawn.

Please take a look at the maps and share your thoughts with us and the county.

Shredding Event - This Saturday 10/30

This Saturday (10/30) is our last shredding event for the year. We will be at Rush Park from 8:00 until noon to shred the documents you'd like destroyed and recycled. Sarah Ireland and IRG Properties is once again sponsoring the event making it free for you. If you have those old records and statements kicking around and you'd like to get them shredded, come on down Saturday morning and let us help you get that item off your to-do list.

You've Been Boo'd

Our 2021 You've Been Boo'd Nomination and Recognition contest is on!

This year's contest is being sponsored by Realtor Penny McCann with our beautiful You've Been Boo'd recognition signs provided by Kelly Ore at Creative Yard Cards.

Our Rossmoor's You've Been Boo'd Recognition Contest helps us recognize Rossmoor residents who decorate their homes for Halloween.

Spirited, spooky, and just plain amazing. We want to know about them all. Nominate your favorite or nominate all of them you can find.

Each entry gives you another chance to win a gift card surprise.

Are You Able To Lend A Hand?

We were notified by Galynn Tran that long-time residents, the Farajian Family, have been having some health challenges and could use some family meal assistance. Once upon a time, without thinking twice, Rossmoor neighbors would help their neighbors with meals when significant challenges in life arose. The Farajian family would be the first in line to assist. And now, they can use some help.

If you are so included to help out, you can check out the details here and sign up to provide a meal. This kind of neighborly support is one of the things that makes Rossmoor special. Let's carry on the tradition.

The Youth Center Requests...

Every once and a while, The Youth Center runs across a specific need or two that they can use a hand with and hopefully, the Rossmoor Community can assist.

Youth Center Director Lina Lumme recently made the following requests:

1. Our refrigerator is dying slowly!!! And we would love to get a new "used" one. If anyone wants to donate their gently used refrigerator for kids, that would be very helpful in keeping snacks and drinks for kids.

2. IPhones (gently used and unlocked) We use them at our after school locations as we don't have a landline and if our phones break purchasing a new one is super expensive. We would like to have one or two backups. Any model.

3. Holiday ornaments (wood, plastic, metal, etc. please no glass.). Gently used or new ornaments for kids projects. And handmade recycled projects we create to sell at our Christmas Tree Lot to raise money for Youth Center scholarships.

Your donation may be 2021 tax deductible (check with your tax advisor) and in any case you can receive a gift-receipt from The Youth Center. Just ask

If you are able to assist, please call The Youth Center (562.493.4043) to make arrangements.

Thanks for your support of this great community asset.
