The Theater Club performed on Sept. 5, and if you missed this fantastic production, you missed a Broadway show. It was clean, well-done and sincere.
From beginning to end, the talent was a blessing to behold. Each and every person involved gave 100%, and I want to thank them for sharing with us.
We could tell their desire to please, and the many hours of practice they spent. Thank you! The audience was so receptive and enjoyed each and every minute.

It is sad to say that there are vast differences in how watering restrictions are being complied with among the various Mutuals in Leisure World. I spoke to the Seal Beach Public Works Department about this last week. The truth is that the overwhelming majority are continuing to water their non-functional turf areas.
When a team of employees from the Public Works Department came out several weeks ago to meet up with directors and walk the Mutuals, the mandated watering restrictions were reiterated and made perfectly clear. In fact, the water in Mutual 9 was actually turned off for non-functional turf weeks before the team came to visit.
I asked what sort of enforcement measures are in force and was told there were none, due to budget restrictions, etc.
I’m sure the Public Works Department believed that LW would honorably comply and do the right thing. Concerned shareholders need to know what resources or courses of action are available if Seal Beach is unable to put any pressure on the Mutuals that have decided to waste water during this unprecedented drought.
My neighbor and I have walked through various Mutuals and were shocked to see how many personal lawns have remained green. It’s abundantly clear that these Mutuals are not taking any of the state, county, or city messages seriously at all. It’s very disheartening and disturbing, to say the least!
It’s unfortunate that Leisure World is not working together to implement the common good on an issue of such epic proportions. There is a megadrought gripping the western United States. According to NASA, it’s the worst drought in 1,200 years.
