Reminder: ONA General Membership Meeting This Thursday!

Please join us for our spring ONA General Membership Meeting this Thursday!

Our speaker will be Carol Roark, local historian, on How do We Get Through This? Fort Worth and the Great Depression. Even in the depths of the Great Depression, Fort Worth (and Oakhurst) continued to experience development and growth. Amon Carter-Riverside High School, Oakhurst Scenic Drive, and many homes in Oakhurst and surrounding Riverside neighborhoods were built during this period in the 1930s. Come hear this great presentation, vote on officers and street representatives for 2016-'17, hear an end-of-year report on ONA's activities, and enjoy a social with your neighbors.

Bring your favorite sweet or savory to share!
