Program Description Rossmoor Volunteer Exchange Services Home Back to Directory Rossmoor Volunteer Exchange Services Is a 6-year old program that serves the Rossmoor retirement community, population 10,000. Membership in the volunteer program has hovered fairly consistently around 200. As in other programs serving the elderly, transportation has become a favorite service.
Some members earn far more than they use, and donate their extra hours to a pool for others to use.
A six-member board makes all the decisions for the group. The program holds monthly meetings, with tea and cookies, and a featured speaker. About 60 members each month turn up to socialize and to hear speakers on a wide range of topics, some practical, on things like health and the ins and outs of long-term insurance, and others more esoteric, like different meditation techniques. Two times a year, in spring and during the holidays, the program holds a party, which attracts about 100 people. They really like it.
