Since 1965 the annual four day Welfare Bazaar has raised millions of dollars.  In 2007, $242,700 was contributed back to the community. 

Welfare Committee Meetings

The ROSC Welfare Committee meets to conduct business and review requests monthly--the 2008 Welfare Committee Meeting schedule is below to the right.  Please be sure to submit requests well in advance of these meeting dates in order to allow time for committee members to conduct follow up questions and prepare the required documentation for the committee meeting.  Requests that are approved by the Welfare Committee are forwarded to the ROSC Governing Board Meeting for approval.
