September brings new beginnings and new opportunities. On September 11th the Rossmoor Woman’s Club (RWC) will be holding their first General Membership meeting at
The Grand Long Beach Events Center. The meeting will be led by President Susan Denley. RWC is a non-profit social and charitable organization open to all women in Rossmoor, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Long Beach and surrounding areas. The club is part of the international General Federation of Women’s Clubs, one of the oldest volunteer organizations in the United States.
The RWC mission is to give members a place to foster their talents and friendships while serving the community. Last month the club collected and delivered clothing, food, hygiene items and school supplies to the Lydia House, Samaritan House, Learning Center and Long Beach Rescue Mission. On July 31st they provided backpacks to children of military families through the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Base.

This month a drive was held for collection of non-perishable food and hygiene items for the Viking Vault at Long Beach City College. On August 24th members worked together in the kitchen of the Ronald McDonald House to prepare a dinner meal for their residents who have infants or children under treatment at Miller Children’s Hospital. All year new socks are being collected for local charities in Long Beach and Orange Counties.
The club, which is a member of the Los Alamitos Chamber of Commerce, raises money primarily through two annual fundraisers. The Rossmoor Holiday Home Tour will be held on Sunday, Dec. 8th this year and the Spring Garden and Outdoor Living Tour will be held on the third Sunday in May.
