"The group meets the first Tuesday of each month (except June, July and August) in the Triple Crown room which is looped for better hearing. One of Rossiter’s goals is to loop the entire Villages, making all the public venues more user-friendly for deaf people. Looping is the placement of special wiring around rooms, theaters and recreational facilities which interact with specially equipped hearing aids to enhance the volume and content of sound.
"A native of Ocala, Rossiter is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Florida.
