It was a busy last week at the Macy's Mission Valley location, but we have successfully relocated to Grossmont Center.  A big Thank You to the many volunteers who made the transition easier, with extra special kudos to Chris Weaver, Larry Sanchez and Mike Dorfi, who were by our side for weeks. We couldn't have done it without you. With grateful hearts for May--Robinson's May -- Macy's support for three decades, we are now starting a new chapter on our own.

One’s destination is never a place,

We were saddened to hear about the recent passing of one of our beloved instructors, Gabe Selak.  He was a long-time contributor at Oasis, having taught 93 history classes since 2011. He also led several group tours of Balboa Park and the History Center during his time at Oasis. He most recently worked at the San Diego History Center as its Educational Programs Manager. We offer our condolences to his family and friends; he will be greatly missed.
