34 | OHCC LIVING | JANUARY 2024 | Newbies Club W Newbies is the official welcoming group for Ocean Hills Country Club residents (homeowners and renters). We have quarterly gatherings where new and established residents can meet, mingle, and get to know each other. e gatherings are loosely structured and provide new residents an opportunity to introduce themselves. Club representatives will be available to promote their clubs. Our goal is to have you walk away with new friends and a feeling of community. is group is for residents only and is not open to guests. ere are many activities available at OHCC and you can participate as much or as little as you choose. e choices are nearly endless — golf, pickleball, swimming, cras, music, billiards, Mahjong games, card games and more. OHCC offers about 40 official clubs and many other special interest groups. OHCC is truly a year-round summer camp for adults. e Newbies gathering on Dec. 16 was attended by many new people as well as long-time residents. A delicious potluck of appetizers and holiday treats was enjoyed by all, Club representatives promoted their groups, and photographs were taken of new residents. As usual, gis were presented to the newest homeowner and the homeowner who moved to OHCC from the farthest away. e next Newbies gathering will be held on March 2 in Abravanel Hall. e dates for planned June, September and December gatherings have not yet been confirmed, but details will be publicized well in advance.

We look forward to meeting you in March 2024. Sincerely, Rosemary Bray and Lynn Bible, Newbies Co-Leaders Club W, formerly OHCC Widows, is now an official Club. We've been operating as an informal group for almost four years and have a membership of over 100 residents of OHCC! Our purpose remains the same: To love, support, and bring the widows of OHCC together through the power of healthy social connections to build resilience, strength, and courage. At the last membership meeting we had a speaker from an ElderHelp of San Diego. eir non-profit mission for 50 years is to help seniors remain independent and live with dignity in their own homes. Sarah Benson, the Executive Director, told us about the programs and services that support San Diego County's seniors and especially "solo agers" such as care coordination, transportation, or housing needs. If they don't know the answer, they know who does. Club W has membership meetings nine times a year and a monthly newsletter with information on events such as luncheons, fun and games, theatre trips, and potlucks. Membership is $10 per year. If you want more information on membership, ask the front desk for a Club W membership form or request one by e-mail OHCCWidows@gmail.com. ~ Written by: Lynn Murphy Inspiration Hill As we walk the trail at Inspiration Hill, we are always impressed by the varied community inspirations as expressed on the Donor Bricks. e trail begins by honoring our pioneer OHCC Founders, and continues with those who so bravely served us. ere are bricks honoring family members, beloved pets, and favorite universities.
