WHY GIVE? SARAH BEAUPRÉ ”Oasis is a wonderful program. It has been a great outlet for me Development Associate since my retirement. I have enjoyed every single class I’ve taken and I have taken a lot of them. The cost of each class is such a deal. It’s impressive how Oasis can offer such a wide variety of classes taught by very knowledgeable teachers. Be it lectures, BRANDON HARDING physical health via exercise, excursions, and my favorites – Director of Lifelong Learning painting and art classes – I always come away satisfied. I have also met amazing and friendly people.
