Boomers Forever Club - Rossmoor - Walnut Creek CA
March Happenings
Is it a Schmooze?
Is it a Games Night?
It's Both!
Wednesday March 19 - 6:30 at Dollar Clubhouse
Last month's Games Night Schmooze was so much fun, we are doing it again. Bring a game you love and share it with others or join in someone else's game. Steve Bajada will be teaching people how to play Dominoes!
There will still be several tables for easy conversation along with the comfy living room area as well as the seating by the cozy fireplace in the Churchill Room.
Like all schmoozes, bring whatever you want to drink, a reusable glass, and a snack to share. There is no charge for this event so you can BYOB. We will have a cake to celebrate all the March birthdays.
If this format works, we may expand it and/or change up the games. Come on out and play with us!
​
PS: If you can arrive around 6, we can use some help with set-up and greeting.
Boomer Trivia Sat March 22 in the Oak Rm - 6:30 Check-in. Game Starts Promptly at 7
​​
Boomers Trivia Night, hosted by Eva King with Trivia Masters Michele and Chuck Beach directing the games, is a very popular monthly event. The Beaches curate 4 themed rounds of 10 questions each as well as some fun puzzles at the break. You'll work in a team to come up with the answers.
This event is open to all residents and you can come solo and be added to a team or bring a team of up to 5 people. Bring snacks to share, non-alcoholic beverages, reusable glass and $1 for the prize fund.
We will also pass the Pig for any donations you might care to make to the Rossmoor Fund so we can help our neighbors in need.
Come check your memory, stretch your brain, and share some laughs.

After supper, DJ Joe Costella, known for DJing at Friday Night Live, will start the room rocking out to a curated playlist from the '60s to today. At the break, there will be a dessert selection to keep all fueled for more dancing.
A fundraising drawing for gift cards, wine, massage, and more will be held with all proceeds going to help neighbors in need via the Rossmoor Fund. There will be a '60s-themed backdrop, perfect for capturing selfies of hippy buddies in their best vintage outfits.

NOTE: Are you new to Boomers? Whether coming solo or are a couple, attending an event for the first time can be a challenge. That's why we have Red Dot Hosts at our big events. They will help you find a seat, introduce you to a few people, answer questions, etc. At the check-in desk, ask for a RED dOT HOST.
​
*About the Open Bar - We gathered feedback after the Super Bowl Party and the vendor will be sure to have enough chardonnay, more red selections, as well as a better type of sparkling water. And they are featuring a fun mocktail to echo the '60s -'70s era - a Hibiscus Fauxito!
