There are a lot of kind and generous people in  Rossmoor. Many give their time, others give their talent and even more give of their treasure. Few though give all three. There are some that do.

We are proud to share with the community that RHA 1st VP Marian Last has endowed The Youth Center which will help the many life changing programs offered to our community to continue to impact future generations.

Marian has served Rossmoor for years and this endowment just extends her kindness to future generations. If you would like to find out more about ways you too can impact future generations via The Youth Center, please call Lina Lumme 562-493-4043.
