Odin Zackman discussed OASIS, which opened to a large crowd on 11-21-86.
Not many kids came during the holiday season. They plan to have theme
nights and more publicity. It was decided to keep the 1 a.m. closing,
because an earlier time might cause some kids to look for something else to
do before going home. Only drivers with senior licenses may drive volunteers
home late at night, so they will try to schedule accordingly.
Odin discussed workshops on the party scene - "Where's the Party. " The
first was for parents. The second was for parents and students. The panel
discussion was frank and open, with both parents and students participating.
It was decided to update the Safe Homes membership list since about 30
families have been added. Bill Reilly said this would also be a good
reminder to parents of what they have signed. Perhaps we could have a
parent support group.

help in ideas , writing, producing.

is now completed, and books, files, etc;. are being moved in. There will be
an opening reception for the public on January 24 & 25, 1 - 4 p.m.
Mary Ellen Wallace said that the Senior Center brings happiness to older
people who werelonely alone , and we should "push the Senior Center. "
Buses pick up people at their homes.
Bill Reilly said there is a big problem of people who are homebound and
need help. Help is available , but it is hard to find out who is in need.
If we know of anyone, let him know.

incorporated and have not-for-profit status.
