Spring Chic Fashion Show & Afternoon Tea

What a delightful day we had at our Spring Chic 2017 Fashion Show and Afternoon Tea in support of our intergenerational tutoring program led by John Dunnicliff! Thank you to Janie Wardlow, Colette Michelle, Donna Dotson, Nadene Bruders, the Oasis Team, and the countless volunteers who made the day so festive and fun. Our models were absolutely stunning in their outfits from Dressbarn in Mira Mesa. Beautiful hats, tasty treats, lots of chatter, and fantastic opportunity drawing baskets all made for a day that even Mother Nature couldn't dampen (figuratively, that is!). We loved how everyone squeezed in so that everyone could enjoy a seat inside.  Yes, Hat's Off to Oasis!





Happy Mother's Day | Make A Tribute!

Happy Mother's Day to all you ladies out there!  We hope you have a beautiful day.  

Are you looking for something unique to do for Mother's Day this year? How about a tribute in their honor? There are so many reasons to celebrate the women in our lives, whether they are our own mothers, "adopted mothers," daughters, sisters, or mentors who have had an impact of our lives. By making a tribute you can show them some love and support Oasis at the same time. To donate, visit the Donate page on our website for more information and be sure to indicate the name of the person you are honoring.
