My husband and I moved to Dobbins, California to retire. Now, he is fully retired, and I am semi-retired.
I own a real estate company (Bertrand Realty), and I have independent contractor agents on staff who are active in the business. They keep Bertrand Realty running. My role in the company is that of a mentor to help them become successful, which allows me to stay engaged in an industry that I have been involved in and loved for over 33 years, yet have the freedom to enjoy the serene setting that Dobbins offers.
When my husband and I moved to Dobbins, we found it to exude a Tahoe-like ambiance, providing the quiet lifestyle we were searching for when we moved from the fast-paced, San Francisco East Bay Area of San Ramon, California.

Lake Francis
I enjoy hanging out at Lake Francis, just a few minutes away. There is much to do here in Dobbins, California, including camping, boating, fishing, hiking, exercise classes, and much more. I have yet to explore everything Dobbins has to offer.
Senior Activities
As a 67 year old senior, currently, there are two activities that I enjoy regularly. One is yoga twice a week.
Our instructor is Lucille Rovnak, and she is a fabulous instructor who teaches Gentle Yoga so seniors like me can participate and walk away feeling alive and refreshed.
The yoga class I attend is offered every Tuesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. It is held at Foothills Christian Center located at 10386 Old Dobbins Rd, Dobbins, CA 95935 (Across from the Dobbins Post Office).
The price to attend class is a suggested donation of $10.00 for each class. There is no sign-up or obligation. Just join us when you can.

Seniors on the Go
And now, let me tell you about a new activity in Dobbins, CA. It is called Seniors on the Go!
Seniors on the Go presents a fabulous luncheon event offered to seniors. This is a monthly event and I look forward to attending every month.
Before I continue, please let me share a little background about Seniors on the Go. The organization was started on July 23, 2022. The first luncheon was held on August 3, 2022. And finally, Seniors on the Go was adopted by the Yuba Foothills Agriculture Communities Association (YFACA) on September 12, 2022. YFACA is a 501c8 non-profit organization located in Dobbins, CA.
Margaret Fowler heads the Seniors on the Go organization, with many volunteers, as the Seniors Activities Coordinator. On the first Wednesday of each month, seniors can look forward to a delicious and exquisitely served lunch of salad or soup and an assortment of delicious desserts. The suggested donation is $3.00 per person.
Along with lunch, seniors can look forward to the following:
I have met the most fabulous people at the senior luncheons. We are all like-minded people who share our interests with one another. Lifelong friendships and senior support are made at the Senior Luncheon. It is a fun event, and I know I will be a regular attendee for as long as it is in existence and forever as I live.
Additional activities, demonstrations, and classes are announced on the Dobbins/Oregon House Facebook page and at the event.
If you want more information or want to volunteer at the Seniors on the Go event (you do not have to be a senior to volunteer), please DM Margaret Fowler via Facebook Messenger.
I hope to see you at the next Seniors on the Go event. In the meantime, have a great weekend!
