Volunteers Still Needed: Halloween in the Park!

What will make the ONA Halloween in the Park a success this Saturday?  You will!

We still need volunteers!!!  It is easy and fun.  You and a friend can man a game booth, or you can meet a new friend while working at one.  Help hand out refreshments, judge the costume contest...we can have a place for everyone who wants to help!

Don't have time to volunteer?  You can help with a donation!  We still need candy for game booths, small can drinks and juice boxes.

Contact Glenda at 817.975.4653 or ghartsell@charter.net for details.

Volunteers are not paid—because they are priceless!

ONA's New Website Now Online!

Our current Oakhurst Neighborhood Association website, www.oakhurstfw.org, has served as a helpful resource for information about the neighborhood for a number of years. In an effort to continually improve our service to the neighborhood and community, and to create a more interactive experience for our members, we are putting together a new site here on Blogger. We'll keep the existing site online through this transition, but please subscribe to this new site for updates!
