The RHA has been a part of Rossmoor since the first families started to move into the tract back in 1957. It is this organization who speaks for the interests of Rossmoor and the people who live here. Below you will find a summary of some of the things the men and women who have served the RHA over the years have done and continue to do for all of us.
