The Roaming Shores Police Department would like to thank everyone who participated today in our first CAN THE CRUISER food drive. Though the total number of persons who participated was somewhat on the light side; approximately 25, those who did donate were very generous. In total we collected $482.53 in monetary donations and enough nonperishable food items to fill the back cargo area of two cruisers. I believe that with additional advertisement and community participation our numbers will certainly grow next year.

Again, thank you for your support and have a happy Thanksgiving.

The Roaming Shores Police Department would like to encourage and invite our community and the surrounding communities to participate in our first annual Can the Cruiser Food Drive. On November 17^th from 11:00 to 3:00 the Roaming Shores Police Department’s cruisers will be parked at two locations, #1 the Village of Roaming Shores Administration Building; 2500 Hayford Road, Roaming Shores Ohio 44084 and #2 the Rome Rock Association Office; 1875 Rt 6, Rome Ohio 44085, to accept new nonperishable food items and monetary donations. All donations collected will be delivered to Country Neighbor and ultimately be used for their Christmas Food Basket Program.

Please do not clean out your pantry and donate expired goods, they are unusable and will have to be thrown away.

The Country Neighbor Program serves the needs of Southern Ashtabula and Northern Trumbull Counties and prepares approximately 175 meals daily to be delivered across the area. Country Neighbor is also Ashtabula County’s main food bank which supports approximately 15 food pantries spread across Ashtabula County. In addition to the above programs Country Neighbor also has numerous additional programs and services in the following six classifications: COMMUNITY SERVICES, HEALTH/WELLNESS SERVICES, OLDER ADULT SERVICES, NUTRITION PROGRAMS, PAPERWORK ASSISTANCE, CAREGIVER ASSISTANCE. For more information in reference to these programs and other services provided by Country Neighbor log onto their web site at www.countryneighbor.org

Again, we encourage you to take part in this event and look forward to seeing you on the 17^th.

It may have been rainy, but that didn’t stop anyone from having fun Trick-or-treating or at the Halloween Happening at the Clubhouse over the weekend!

Even though the weather did not cooperate with us on Saturday the Trick-or-Treat after party and costume contest at the RRA clubhouse went extremely well. We would estimate that about 100 people bundled up and came out to participate in the community event. Of our five different categories Mr. Aiden Baker; of the Middle School Division, in his scary clown outfit was ultimately deemed our overall best in show costume contestant.

 

Weekenders and Snowbirds: As you may recall, a few homes in the Shores fell victim to frozen pipes that burst last winter. Please remember to shut off your water when you’re winterizing your homes! You can do so at the water meter inside your house.

If you need assistance, you can contact the RSV Utility Dept at 440-563-3146 or Vic Virmala, the Utility Supervisor, at 440-474-2302.

Trick-or-Treating in Roaming Shores will be on Saturday, October 27^th from 5pm-7pm.

After trick-or-treating, come join us at the Clubhouse for a Halloween Happening! Doors open at 7:00pm. There will be food, fun, and a costume contest (see details below).

This is a free event for all of the little ghosts and goblins in the Shores (their family, too!)

If you would like to donate candy for treat bags, please drop them off at either the RRA or RSV offices. Thank you!
