Boomers Forever Club - Rossmoor - Walnut Creek CA

ExploreMore

ExploreMore is an opportunity for boomer members and friends to enjoy off-campus explorations of the many attractions and places in our wonderful Bay Area. These are not official events but rather informal gatherings of interested people.  The venues will vary and transportation will be via casual car pools and/or mass transit/carpool. Riders should contribute something to drivers to cover gas/tolls. Attendees will buy individual tickets, admission, food, etc., as needed unless group pricing is arranged.

​

A side benefit of these explorations is that members will become more comfortable using mass transit. All those 65 and older are encouraged to apply for a Senior Clipper Card. This card can be used on Bart, San Francisco Muni, County Connection, AC Transit, ferries, and more.  Not only is it more convenient than figuring individual fares but all senior discounts are automatically applied when the card is used. Information on how to get a Senior Clipper card can be found at clippercard.com.

Past ExploreMore activities have included an Angel Island outing via Bart/ferry, Chouinard Winery picnic/dance, Blue Angel's picnic on Treasure Island, Golden Gate Fields/Turf Club, and a holiday lights group bus tour via Bart/SF Muni. There are several outings being considered for this year - see the Upcoming Events page for details.

​

And, if you have an idea for an ExploreMore outing, we want to hear from you! Send an email to boomersforever1@gmail.com and a board member will contact you to discuss.

Boomer Trivia

​

Proposed  by Boomer members and Trivia Masters, Michele and Chuck Beach, this has become a hugely popular boomer activity, one that is open to all of Rossmoor. Lke Games Night,  this takes place in the Oak Room at Gateway. 

​

Boomer Trivia is a chance to stretch your brain, enjoy munchies and bevs, and meet other residents. The Beaches create 4 rounds of 10 questions each and teams of 2-5 people vie to answer the most right. Categories vary widely but always include one Boomer category such as '60s Inventions or Boomer Acronyms. 

​

Attendees can come with a team or be assigned to one upon arrival. Check-in is at 6:30-6:45 and games start promptly at 7. There are breaks between rounds for mingling and munching. Everyone should bring a snack to share, personal beverage, and a $1 entry fee which will go into a prize fund for awards at the final session in December.
