- Letter from the President Jan-
Greetings Connection members
This is a monthly reminder of the events that are coming up for March. At our March 3, 3 PM general meeting, we will hear about the important services provided by the Trinity Center to people in need in our community. These monthly meetings are open to all residents of Rossmoor, so you are welcome to bring your friends and neighbors to this presentation. Barbara Proctor, also known as GG, has been volunteering at the Center for years and will bring her unique perspective to the conversation. This is not to miss topic!
Along with our regularly scheduled events and games in March, we have begun to plan our spring fling dinner scheduled for April 7. Please save the date on your calendar as this is often a joyful event celebrating what we hope will be beautiful spring and summer weather.
Please join me in welcoming our new members:
Shuba Ballal
Leslie Winslow
The 2026 membership directories are in!! You can pick up your copy in the Gateway mailbox and we will be distributing them at the March, April and May general membership meetings.
As we begin to wind down winter and look forward to the hope of spring, let’s join together to meet friends and make new members feel welcome within our Club.
###SAVE THE DATE###
April 7 will be a joyous celebration of spring as we host our SPRING FLING dinner at 5 o’clock, Event Center.
