The Rossmoor Woman’s Club, founded in 1958, is a social and philanthropic organization affiliated with the international General Federation of Women’s Clubs. The club is based in the northwest Orange County community of Rossmoor but membership is open to anyone. Among other things, the club raises money to support local charities and to fund scholarships for LAHS students through two major fundraisers: the annual Rossmoor Garden Tour, which is coming up on May 19, and Holiday Home Tour in December.
