While the greatest gift of all right now is for all of us to stay home with members of our immediate household (given that the number of COVID cases in the Los Angeles County is growing at a very alarming rate), we would like to encourage everyone to check in with family members and friends from a distance via Zoom, phone, or even snail mail to spread the holiday cheer. A little warmth goes a long way, especially this winter. We would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season as we all look forward to a brighter, healthier 2021. Take care and stay safe! #seasonsgreetings #happyholidays #merrychristmas #rposd #sociallydistanced #office #merryandbright

Happy National Voter Registration Day! Voting has been crucial to RPOSD’s existence and to successfully securing park funding for Los Angeles County’s past, present and future generations. For more than 26 years, this District has awarded more than $1.5 billion in grants for the development and improvement of parks, recreation, cultural, community facilities, and open space preservation throughout Los Angeles County. All of this would not have been possible without VOTER support for Proposition A (in 1992 and 1996) and Measure A (in 2016)! GET REGISTERED TO VOTE! #NationalVoterRegistrationDay #vote2020

Happy Labor Day!Hope everyone had a relaxing day.
