GRF HOLIDAY EVENTS by Kathy Thayer assistant recreation manager We may not be sipping cocoa with our neighbors or sitting on Santa’s lap with our wish list this year, but that’s no reason to let the Grinch spoil our holidays. In that spirit, the GRF Recreation Department will livestream two holiday events that have become Leisure World traditions. On Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 4:30 p.m.

The Orange County COVID-19 numbers are sobering, doubling over the holiday weekend even as GRF venues have been shut down. Security reported more than 2,000 guest cars were admitted on Thanksgiving Day. That is fewer than in previous years, but still too many considering the dire risk to older people. Leisure World residents have been vigilant in wearing masks and adhering to other protection protocols.
