The Monday lunches at the Oracle Community Center are becoming popular. Every Monday at noon, lunch is served. The kitchen managers/chefs Tina Bolt and Austin Owens are whipping up some wonderful meals with the help of their volunteers, including vegetarian options each Monday. The lunch is only $5 and the Community Center provides the main dish, drink and dessert. There is always a salad and veggies to go with the meal. Membership cards are available during this time.
The new Oracle Community Center governing board and their volunteers have been busy renovating the building. They have added gutters, a security screen for the office, done floor work and fixed the door to the women’s bathroom. A group of art minded volunteers are working on restoring damaged tile work at the Butterfly Garden. They also had a successful Oaks Festival in April. Membership is increasing
