Advance ticket sales have begun for the popular Rossmoor Woman’s Club Holiday Home Tour, scheduled this year from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 8.
Five seasonally decorated, remodeled homes in Rossmoor are on the self-guided tour, which has been a neighborhood tradition and community fundraiser for more than 30 years. All net proceeds go to fund scholarships for students at Los Alamitos High School and to aid community service organizations the club supports with monetary grants or in-kind gifts.
These include Precious Life Shelter, We Care, Bethune Transitional Center, Fix Long Beach, Los Alamitos Museum, The Youth Center, Pathways to Independence, services for local military families and veterans, and more.
Besides visiting the homes, ticket holders are invited to mingle over complimentary cookies, tea and festive music at the North Seal Beach Community Center, where gift baskets will be raffled off and a selection of handmade holiday floral and decorative items will be for sale.
In addition, Antica Olive Oil, Vinegar & Spices, which is usually closed on Sundays, plans to open during the tour and will donate a portion of the day’s sales to the club.
Ticket prices are lower when purchased in advance: $20 when purchased from a club member or participating merchant, and $21 when purchased online at www.rossmoorwomansclub.com. On the day of the event, prices increase to $25 per ticket and may be obtained at the North Seal Beach Community Center. The tickets contain the addresses of the homes on the tour and other information.
