Donations for worthwhile charities and serving lunches during auction sales that were conducted by the neighbors. The Homemakers also sponsored social events, such as card parties and showers for the community members.
At one time there was the Rose Hill Literary Society which held its meetings in the schoolhouses. One of the forms of entertainment was debates. Much merriment was caused by a "newspaper" which was written by one of the members. These always succeeded in "lampooning" some of its members who were in the audience.
The Merry Maids 4‑H Club was organized in 1945 with Liesetta Grager and Eunice Ibson as leaders. It is still in existence.
The boys belong to a Pig Club in 1942 and then expanded to a Beef Club. Eventually these groups became known as the Rose‑Haven Variety Club. The first leaders were Ralph Bort and Liesetta Grager.
