Thanks for Joining Us for Black History Month!

Last Friday, February 23, we celebrated Black History Month with close to 100 Oasis members!

This year's theme was "My Story, Our History," with a focus on sharing personal stories. We also had poetry readings, performances by the Oasis Chorale, a "show and tell," with a reception following the program. Many people have expressed having a great time being together.

Los Angeles Oasis, a program of WISE & Healthy Aging, teamed up with LA Metro to offer a “Magical Mystery Tour” on the LA Metro Expo line for the first 20 people to register for January’s Oasis TAP Card event. The program was intended for people who had never taken the train, or never been to WISE & Healthy Aging’s headquarters in Santa Monica.

Weather and other circumstances had forced us to reschedule the tour, but on Tuesday, February 6, 2018, five Los Angeles Oasis members set out from Westside Pavilion for the Rancho Park/Westwood Expo Line Station, where they were met by LA Metro staff Richard Morallo and Tatiana Cancino. After riding the Expo line to the Santa Monica terminus, the group toured the WISE & Healthy Aging headquarters building and enjoyed refreshments and a short presentation about the history of the Expo Line. One of the participants remembered working at the office building that once stood on the site of the Santa Monica station!

The ride back was just as exciting and informative, as the group learned about important design features found in the stations, as well as useful tips for riding the train, narrated by Mr. Morallo. What a wonderful way to spend a sunny Southern California morning!

Lunch and Murder Mystery!

Oasis members enjoyed delicious food at Lawry's in Beverly Hills and participated in a light-hearted murder mystery. Our group of 51 had lots of laughs and fun.

Fun fact: 50 years ago, one of our members played the 1st witch in MacBeth in her high school play!

“Thank you for the luncheon and mystery play at Lawry’s. It was fun and delicious. New experiences keep my mind sharp,” she said.
