拉古納伍茲村是一個多元化的社區，秉持著「睦鄰友好」的理念，這一點也延伸到了我們的洗衣房。洗衣時，請牢記以下注意事項：

• 保持洗衣房清潔。不要將任何食物丟進公共垃圾桶。洗衣房裡的垃圾桶可能不會經常清空，這會增加吸引害蟲和蟲子的機會。
• 請勿將任何已丟棄或待捐贈的個人物品存放在任何洗衣房。如果您的垃圾不適合丟棄或回收，請將其送至大件物品回收點，或捐贈給合適的機構。
• 注意洗滌劑、柔順劑和漂白劑的使用。使用過多的洗滌劑或其他產品會在洗衣機中留下不必要的殘留物，並加速某些零件的磨損。
• 合理安排洗衣時間，盡量利用自己和他人的時間。監控洗衣和烘乾過程，注意不要將衣物留在洗衣機裡，以免他人使用。在手機或手錶上設定定時器，並在洗衣完成後更換衣物。
• 請勿將洗衣籃或個人物品放在閒置的洗衣機或烘乾機上，以免佔用洗衣機。如果您不經常使用洗衣機，請讓其他準備洗衣服的住戶使用。等您的衣服洗完後再使用烘乾機。讓每位住戶都有機會洗衣服。
• 使用洗衣房前，請做好準備。確保所有要洗的衣服都已準備好，可以放入洗衣籃、籃子或洗衣袋中。請攜帶所有洗滌劑、柔軟精、乾衣紙等，以免多次往返。別忘了帶零錢。開始洗衣服後，請將洗衣劑和其他物品帶回您的住所。如果您將它們留在洗衣房，其他住戶可能會使用它們。請將肥皂、零錢和其他洗衣用品單獨放進一個袋子裡，以便您在離開時輕鬆取用。
• 善待他人的衣物。在共用洗衣房裡，等待其他住戶把衣物從洗衣機裡拿出來很可能是你最難纏的問題。如果可以的話，千萬不要移動別人的衣物。如果你能確定是誰的衣服放在那裡，並且你和鄰居足夠熟悉，可以敲門告訴他們你需要洗衣機。大多數情況下，只需等幾分鐘，看看住戶是否會回來拿他們的衣物即可。

Some of us might move to the other side of the street, avert our eyes or brush it off. Either way, panhandling, the asking of money in public spaces, makes most of us uncomfortable.

Most panhandlers (although not all) are experiencing homelessness. In many cities, panhandling is considered free speech and is protected by the first amendment. Some may encounter those who are panhandling on a daily basis or during a trip to most larger cities. In the areas adjacent to Laguna Woods Village, such as in retail parking lots or outside of gas stations, we might encounter folks asking for spare change or offering to perform a task in exchange for money.

Under Penal Code 647c, aggressive panhandling in California is illegal. However, passive panhandling, or the act of sitting in a public area holding a sign asking for money, is not.

Here are some tips for responding responsibly, directly and compassionately to passive or aggressive panhandlers.

1. Recognize a panhandler’s humanity while remaining alert. Give a quick nod or good-day wishes. Whether or not you give money is your call.
2. If you wish to give money, have it out and ready to give. Never go into wallets, pockets or purses in front of panhandlers.
3. If you do not want to give money, walk purposefully and confidently toward your intended destination. Give the appearance that you are aware of your surroundings. Acknowledge the panhandler and answer their request for money with a firm “No, thank you.” Then continue on your way. Do not feel angry or guilty.
4. If you feel threatened or intimidated by an aggressive panhandler, call the Orange County Sheriff’s Department at its nonemergency dispatch number, 714-647-7000 or 949-770-6011. Be prepared to describe the panhandler as well as share the location of the event, the time it occurred and the panhandler’s direction of travel. 
5. If you witness a crime in progress, dial 9-1-1.
