DIRECTOR’S CORNER

April was a busy month here at OASIS! Thank you to everyone who helped in making our annual event, ‘April the 13th Friday Frolic’ a successful event! It sure was wonderful to see so many of you believe in what we do to support our mission as we continue to enhance the lives of seniors.

For those who could not make the Volunteer Luncheon this month, I want to say, ‘Thank you for all you do to make to make our senior center a special place, a home away from home! Volunteers are like the little pieces that complete the puzzle. It is the little things you do that make a huge difference.”

Starting this past March, the Tradewinds was not mailed to those whose membership dues are not current. Please call the office or come by and inquire about your current membership status. As a reminder, yearly dues are $15 for a single person and $25 for a couple, and are good from January through December. Please encourage others who participate in our center activities to become a member! By becoming a member of the Luis Oasis Senior Center, you will receive the Tradewinds mailed to your home every month. You will also be aware of current and upcoming events and be given priority to attend classes and events. So, don’t be left out, make a difference and become a member!

Celebrate Our World will be held on Saturday, May 26th from 1:00 – 2:30pm. May is Asian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month and guest speakers, entertainment, food and display items will be something to look forward to. For June, we will highlight Italian!

Sincerely,

Rovi Butcher

NOTES FROM JOE SHEAFF

The “Friday the Thirteenth Frolic,” held at the Fairpark on April 13th, was a huge success. We don’t have the final figures yet but I do know that we did very well. All of the proceeds go into our Operating Account which will help us tremendously. In welcoming the guests, I made mention of the fact that we are the only self funded Senior Center in Santa Barbara County, and maybe even the Central Coast. It’s a credit to everyone involved with the Luis OASIS Senior Center that we have been operating independently for over 25 years.

Here are some special thanks:

To Delores Luis, Event Chair – we couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks so much for all the time and hard work you put into this event.

To Jim Glines, Auctioneer from the Community Bank of Santa Maria – you were spectacular as usual. We all thank you for doing a wonderful job and helping us do so well.

To Paul Teixeira, King of The Reverse Drawing – I saw a lot of happy faces when their numbers were called. You kept the process moving, held all of our attention and, for that, we thank you. Job well done!

To our Sponsors and Donors – a big thanks to the Black Cat, Cool Cat, Crazy Cats and all who donated Voice auction and Dessert auction items and raffle items. We appreciate you generosity.

And a big “THANK YOU” to all of our volunteers, who decorated, set up, cleaned up, served and helped make the entire evening a huge success. The ASTRA Club and FFA group did a tremendous job of serving the VIP tables. We are truly grateful to all.
