: Boomers Plan a Busy January
On Saturday, the 17th, Boomer Trivia kicks off the year with another session of mind stretching questions. Trivia Masters Michele and Chuck Beach create 4 rounds of 10 questions and teams vie to get the most right answers. This friendly competition kicks off at 6:30 in the Oak Room at Gateway. Attendees should bring snacks to share, personal non-alcoholic beverages, and $1 for the prize fun. Teams of 5 compete and solo participants are welcome. Event lead Eva King will help people form teams. The club’s piggy bank will be available for any donations, and all proceeds will go to support the Rossmoor Fund.
Wednesday January 21 sees the return of the monthly Schmooze. Held in the Dollar Clubhouse, at 6:30, this casual gathering has a new twist this time. There is an option to pre-purchase pizza and salad. Or people can bring their own food/snacks. It is a BYOB evening
The Schmooze is an unstructured gathering that offers an opportunity to catch up with old friends as well as welcoming new members and residents curious about the club. Aside from background music, there is lots of conversation and laughter and those who like to play board or card games are welcome to bring them and recruit other players. There will also be a cake to celebrate January birthdays. Those wishing to attend and/or to pre-purchase the pizza option, must register via the club website: https://www.rossmoorboomers.com/ under the heading Events. Aside from the $5 charge for pizza/salad, there is no cost to attend
On Saturday January 24, the Event Center Doors will open at 5pm for the first Boomer Dance of the season. The club welcomes back the Mixed Nuts Band to rock out the night. Come work off holiday indulgences on the dance floor!
Before the band takes the stage, there will be a pair of identical salad bars set up. Kitchen-savvy members prepare a feast with assorted greens, veggies, protein and more with over 20 items to choose from. The cash bar will offer wine and beer, and all bar proceeds go to support the Rossmoor Fund. No outside alcohol is permitted.
