RWC to resume Holiday Bazaar December 5

Jennifer Lathrop of The Pampered Chef decorates one of five trees that will be up for auction.

Score a photo with Santa, a professionally-decorated small Christmas tree, some seasonal gifts,  a raffle basket full of gift cards or other goodies at the Rossmoor Woman’s Club Holiday Bazaar fundraiser.

The bazaar is a modern first for the club, replacing the group’s annual Holiday Home Tour, which, after more than 30 years, had to be cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19.

This year’s outdoor event will take place in the parking lot behind Farmers and Merchants Bank in Rossmoor Center, 12535 Seal Beach Blvd.  It is scheduled from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sun., Dec. 5.

The bazaar will include a craft and plant booth, raffle baskets and a variety of vendors offering gift and seasonal items for sale.  A silent auction features five professionally decorated, 3-foot-tall artificial Christmas trees donated by Green Street Interiors, Aegean Design Studio, Tarlton Designs, Jennifer Lathrop of Pampered Chef and floral designer Darrell Poper.

Santa will be on hand for free selfies, courtesy of Team Chamberlain Real Estate.

All net proceeds go to fund college scholarships for Los Alamitos High School students and to support local charities including We Care, The Youth Center, Bikers Against Child Abuse, Precious Life Shelter, St. Isidore Community Center, Fix Long Beach and more.

If you cannot attend the bazaar but would like to support the club’s community service, please consider donating to the group’s virtual Holiday Home Tour from the Heart. Checks, made payable to RWC, may be sent to Rossmoor Woman’s Club, P.O. Box 357, Los Alamitos, CA 90720.

The club, founded in 1958, is a 501c3 non-profit and all donations are tax-deductible. While centered in Rossmoor, the club welcomes members from around coastal Orange County, Long Beach and other nearby areas to participate in a variety of social and charitable activities.
