“The Arts Jubilee was so much fun today. It was organized & informative. The event staff was just delightful. And the Reader’s Theater workshop was a hoot. Thank you!”

Chris L.

“I have developed new skills from teaching classes and attending classes. I have met new people and enjoy interacting with them. I definitely have found a sense of purpose working for Oasis. This is a unique organization for older adults. It allows them to volunteer, meet people, help others and feel like their life after retirement has meaning.”

Martha Bogart, Oasis Participant, instructor, and volunteer

“I love Oasis classes on Zoom – so much to learn and so convenient. Great for all ages really! So glad I found out about their classes.”

Kelly

“Oasis brings together people who seek understanding and knowledge. I’m excited about the next ‘semester’ of Women’s Round Table as I always learn so much and then share with others. I mentioned my experience to several women at my volunteer group and 6 of them joined the Women’s Roundtable class. We now share our knowledge.”

Sharon Logan, Oasis Participant

“Oasis keeps the minds, bodies & spirits of aging adults healthy. The friends I’ve made through Exerstart have grown into other adventurers from coffee, lunches, shopping, movies to visiting those who are ill. Such an amazing and fun group.”

Mary J, Oasis Participant

“The atmosphere of energy and the depth of knowledge and experience of everyone involved is what I enjoy most.”
