OASIS

Our mission is to provide an educational enrichment program for persons 50 years of age and older for the local community regardless of religious affiliation.

OASIS classes meet on Thursdays for three terms per year - Fall, Winter, and Spring. Classes meet for one to three hours during the day. Some workshops are conducted on Saturdays.

The OASIS program offers opportunities for attendees to meet other persons of the same age group. Students attend from approximately 6 counties in Georgia, plus many from Tennessee and North Carolina. Many students have relocated from other parts of the country and have varied backgrounds and experiences. Students find the OASIS program a welcome activity each week and look forward with fond anticipation.

There is a small enrollment fee, as well as extra fees for supplies for some classes. These funds are used to help pay for utilities, maintenance, postage, reproduction, equipment, and supplies. Instructors volunteer their time and skills to the OASIS program. We also have many other volunteers that keep the program running by arranging classrooms, conducting registration, and helping with food service.

  • As always, registration fee is $ 25.00 per person, per session, even if you take more than one class.
  • Lunch (optional) is $5.00 each week and must be paid a week in advance. You may use the online registration form to opt in for lunch the first day of classes.
