ALL Tennis is Cancelled -- Courts are Closed

Breaking News at Northern California's active senior living community.

Sunday, March 15 (3:30 p.m.): The GRF suspended all remaining services Sunday after Gov. Gavin Newsom asked all seniors 65-years and older and those with chronic conditions to isolate themselves at home until further notice because of the rise in coronavirus cases in the state.

As of Sunday afternoon, there were 335 people infected in California and six deaths.

The GRF has closed all facilities, including the golf courses, Fitness Center, pools, pickleball and tennis courts, dog park and bocce ball courts. Bus service has been suspended. Office buildings will be closed Monday, but staff will be available by phone (see facility closures list for phone numbers).

General Meeting, Monday Mar 16, cancelled

With the consensus of your board members I am cancelling our General meeting which was scheduled for next Monday 16 March. We feel that, even though nobody in Rossmoor has yet tested positive for the Corona virus, it would be unnecessarily risky to convene a crowd.

Dave Blanchard
President, Rossmoor Tennis Club
