ONA's Spring General Membership meeting is THIS Thursday, April 25, 7pm, at Calvary Christian Academy. Officer and street rep. elections will be held.
Come early to pay your membership dues and/or sign up for the May garage sale. You'll find more details at our previous post, along with a download link to the registration form. Fill it out and bring it along on Thursday.
The Beautification Committee will also hold a raffle for some great prizes (e.g. a one-night stay at a Granbury bed and breakfast, greens fees for Texas Star in Euless, etc.). Funds will benefit the beautification of Oakhurst.
At the meeting, you will also have a chance to hear from candidates on the May 11 ballot. Jacinto Ramos, Jr.; Camille Rodriguez; and Carlos Vasquez are competing for FWISD School Trustee Place #1. Candidates running for the Tarrant Regional Water District Board will also be on hand. This is not meant to be a candidate forum, but each candidate will have time to introduce himself or herself, tell you why they are running and what they believe to be the critical issues.
Phyllis Anglin is organizing the refreshments for the spring social, and she asks that you PLEASE bring some of your favorite cookies or savories to share with your neighbors. We will have a great time after the meeting sampling all the goodies. We hope to see you there!
