Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you and yours. 2025 is full of promise for Rossmoor and all of us. It's a time to look back to see the progress we've made, the lessons we've learned and then to look ahead into the new year and make the most of it.  

What is your focus for 2025?

2025 RHA Membership - Open!

Our traditional RHA "membership drive" kicks off in November with the Christmas Lights nomination Contest and extends through February. Historically, the largest influx of renewals come in shortly after the annual Our Rossmoor Magazine lands in homes between Christmas and New Years. 

This year we are sending out the magazine a little later in January to see if it's the mailing that creates the large number of renewals, or if it's the end of the year that triggers people to renew their memberships. 

This is to say, look for our annual magazine toward mid-January with 2024 in review and a preview of some of the events coming to Rossmoor in 2025.

If you want go ahead and take care of your 2025 membership and support the RHA for next year, please just click the button below.

This is going to impact everyone greatly and we need to examine the facts, both positive and negative.

AI was once just a dream, but that dream became reality sooner than we thought. Artificial intelligence was first coined in the 1950s by John McCarthy, who developed the first computer language called LISP, or List Processing. This revolutionized everything about AI that we know today. AI is much more than an aide to cheaters on essays. “Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human learning,...
