Meet some of the people who are connecting through OASIS in our 2013 Annual Report
 Margie Hobby, an OASIS tutor in Albuquerque, loves helping her young student to come out of her shell. Michael Colabufo of Syracuse draws motivation from the people in his fitness classes to stay on track with his weight loss goal. Barbara Bluiett, an instructor in Indianapolis, enjoys watching her students' faces light up as they learn to take charge of their computers and cell phones.
Our 2013 annual report focuses on how OASIS helps people increase their social connections and find joy, purpose and new experiences. See the highlights in our video – a fast-paced 20-slide "Pecha Kucha" style presentation. The online report includes the sponsors, donors and volunteers who make it happen, and our financial results.
