“RSM Voice Group was founded by several volunteers who live in this wonderful city. The group is not politically affiliated and has no commercial interest, nor does it ask for financial support from any organization. Its purpose is to research topics originating from the City, State, and Federal entities that may affect our daily lives, report its findings to our supporters, and, if necessary, recommend a plan of action. The Trabuco Canyon Water District is among the local organizations that we monitor and are interested in, as they significantly improve the quality of our lives.
