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. We enjoyed a turnout of nearly 100 people at the Sept. 7 potluck. We are grateful to Barbara DuDeck, OHCC Resident Realtor, Your Sunny San Diego Connection, who sponsored a portion of the overhead expenses. We would also like to acknowledge with gratitude the time and effort donated by our Newbies Ambassadors and Volunteers. A prize was awarded to the newest residents, Sally and Mike Gruber, who spent their first night in OHCC on Sept. 6. Rob and Natalie Madson from Chantilly, VA and Van Rametta and Jan Wilson from Lansdowne, VA both received prizes for moving from farthest away. Everyone enjoyed the potluck, new resident introductions, a silent auction, and opportunity drawing. This month we are spotlighting Larry and Ann Vosovic, who moved into their home on Alicante Way in August 2024. They previously lived in Santa Barbara, CA for 19 years and before that, Cupertino, CA. They have been married for 57 years and have two sons as well as four grandchildren in the North County area. Larry and Ann are both originally from Western Pennsylvania. When Larry met Ann in college, she was already "pinned" and he told her she could do a lot better (him). Then he joined the ROTC because he needed the 90 cents per day and was subsequently called to serve in Viet Nam. After 180 letters and only four real dates, Ann agreed to marry Larry instead and move to California. They both earned their master's degrees at Arizona State University and moved to Northern California in 1967. Larry taught English at Homestead High School in Cupertino, where Steve Jobs and Stephen Wozniak were among his students. He loved teaching and coaching soccer, basketball and baseball. Ann worked as a high school English teacher in the Mountain View Los Altos school district and concurrently served as an adjunct professor at Stanford University teaching their Teacher Education Program (STEP) for over 15 years. Larry and Ann are excited to explore new activities and have joined several clubs. Ann is an avid scrapbooker and they both have an interest in fine wine. A warm welcome and Cheers to Larry and Ann! The next Newbies gathering will be held on Sun., Dec. 22 from 2 to 5 pm in Abravanel Hall. Details will be publicized well in advance.
