Thank you to OASIS Farm for providing a gorgeous venue for this program! ​

OASIS is a highlight of the month for us. I always feel like it's going to see family. We can sit in a comfortable living room, hang around in the dining area, or go to the garage for an activity, or just relax. It's a wonderful event and we appreciate it every time."
