Dear Readers

Welcome to this edition of the Tradewinds Newsletter As you know wersquove been working

behind the scenes to build a new OASIS Center in Old Orcutt So much has happened

since the LeBard family donated the 528 acre parcel to OASIS at the end of 2014 Wersquove

redesigned the buildingrsquos layout with your feedback launched a new fundraising

campaign and wersquove come much closer to finalizing the necessary entitlements from

Santa Barbara County I will be updating you regularly in the newsletter as we achieve

each coming milestone

Fundraising campaigns on this scale require a dedicated group of volunteers Our capital

campaign committee formed in the spring of this year and itrsquos my honor to introduce them

to you In alphabetical order Liz Addamo Keith and Olivia Bugal Ed Carcary Dave

Cross Joni Gray Gary Gross Dr John and Sharon Henning Paul Klock Jerry and

Delores Luis Dave Michels Clarissa Nagy Tim Rooney Joe Sheaff Mark Steller Diane

Alleman-Stevens and Rick Velasco The two co-chairs of the capital campaign are Joni

Gray and Delores Luis OASIS board member Paul Klock oversees the executive cam-

paign committee where all fundraising decisions are made If you see any of these people

around tip your hat to them I have the privilege of working alongside them and they are

putting their heart and soul into fundraising for the new OASIS Center

While Irsquom on the capital campaign subject Irsquom excited to announce that OASIS has

partnered with Netzel Grigsby Associates to work alongside our committee to ensure we

reach our goal They have consulted on a number of successful campaigns across

California and locally in the Santa Maria Valley Past clients include the new Marian

Regional Medical Center Allan Hancock College the Santa Barbara Zoo and the

American Red Cross With their experience and track record OASIS is in great hands

Last month I announced our search for a new programs coordinator Those of you whorsquove

visited the OASIS the past couple of weeks know just how pleased I am to announce Mrs

Julie Posada as our new coordinator Julie has been serving the Santa Maria Valley for

many years as Director of Commercial Services at VTC Enterprises and she helped to

launch the Visiting Nurse Hospice Care Program of Santa Barbara Shersquos also been very

active as the past President of the Kiwanis Club of Santa Maria and serving on the

Advisory Committee of the Santa Maria Special Olympics Julie is excited to contribute

her experience and skill set to ensuring our programs meet the needs of you the members

Please feel free to come introduce yourself Shersquos looking forward to meeting and hearing

from you

OASIS is building a robust planned giving program for those who believe in our mission

and want to ensure the organization is still around long after they are gone One of the

ways members choose to give to us in that capacity is through a bequest Fellow OASIS

member and Attorney Joni Gray has offered a free consultation and discounted services

to anyone interested in adding OASIS to their will or trust My wife Kelly and I owe so

much to this organization Wersquove literally built our lives around it so it was an easy

decision for us to add OASIS as one of the recipients of our final estate By doing so we

ensure our work and special memories made here live on with the next generation I hope

yoursquoll consider

Finally wersquoll have a survey for OASIS members available from August through

September We depend on your honest feedback so please stop by and fill it out

Our longtime Librarian Diane Rudy decided to

retire As Doug stated ldquoEven volunteers retirerdquo

Doug Dougherty along with the Board of

Directors Staff and Members want to thank her for

the many years of service to OASIS Diane kept

the library fresh current and organized As a

token of our appreciation Doug presented Diane

with a plaque on July 19th

Thank you so much Diane

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double pane energy efficient kind

But this week I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work had been completed a whole year and I had yet to pay for them

Boy oh boy did we go around

Just because Im a senior doesnt mean that I am automatically stupid

So I proceeded to tell him just what his fast-talking sales guy had told me last year

He said that in one year the windows would pay for themselves

There was silence on the other end of the line so I just hung up and he hasnt called back

Guess he was embarrassed

While he was visiting my father asked for the password to our Wi-Fi

ldquoItrsquos taped under the modemrdquo I told him

After three failed attempts to log on he asked ldquoAm I spelling this right

T-A-P-E-D-U-N-D-E-R-T-H-E-M-O-D-E-Mrdquo

ldquoPoor Old foolrdquo thought the well-dressed gentleman as he watched an old man fish in a puddle outside a pub So he invited the old man

inside for a drink As they sipped their whiskeys the gentleman thought hersquod humor the old man and asked ldquoSo how many have you caught todayrdquo

The old man replied ldquoYoursquore the eighthrdquo

the Natural History Museum provided information about the museum and the activities they provide

Dear Readers

Welcome to this edition of the Tradewinds Newsletter As you know wersquove been working

behind the scenes to build a new OASIS Center in Old Orcutt So much has happened

since the LeBard family donated the 528 acre parcel to OASIS at the end of 2014 Wersquove

redesigned the buildingrsquos layout with your feedback launched a new fundraising

campaign and wersquove come much closer to finalizing the necessary entitlements from

Santa Barbara County I will be updating you regularly in the newsletter as we achieve

each coming milestone

Fundraising campaigns on this scale require a dedicated group of volunteers Our capital

campaign committee formed in the spring of this year and itrsquos my honor to introduce them

to you In alphabetical order Liz Addamo Keith and Olivia Bugal Ed Carcary Dave

Cross Joni Gray Gary Gross Dr John and Sharon Henning Paul Klock Jerry and

Delores Luis Dave Michels Clarissa Nagy Tim Rooney Joe Sheaff Mark Steller Diane

Alleman-Stevens and Rick Velasco The two co-chairs of the capital campaign are Joni

Gray and Delores Luis OASIS board member Paul Klock oversees the executive cam-

paign committee where all fundraising decisions are made If you see any of these people

around tip your hat to them I have the privilege of working alongside them and they are

putting their heart and soul into fundraising for the new OASIS Center

While Irsquom on the capital campaign subject Irsquom excited to announce that OASIS has

partnered with Netzel Grigsby Associates to work alongside our committee to ensure we

reach our goal They have consulted on a number of successful campaigns across

California and locally in the Santa Maria Valley Past clients include the new Marian

Regional Medical Center Allan Hancock College the Santa Barbara Zoo and the

American Red Cross With their experience and track record OASIS is in great hands

Last month I announced our search for a new programs coordinator Those of you whorsquove

visited the OASIS the past couple of weeks know just how pleased I am to announce Mrs

Julie Posada as our new coordinator Julie has been serving the Santa Maria Valley for

many years as Director of Commercial Services at VTC Enterprises and she helped to

launch the Visiting Nurse Hospice Care Program of Santa Barbara Shersquos also been very

active as the past President of the Kiwanis Club of Santa Maria and serving on the

Advisory Committee of the Santa Maria Special Olympics Julie is excited to contribute

her experience and skill set to ensuring our programs meet the needs of you the members

Please feel free to come introduce yourself Shersquos looking forward to meeting and hearing

from you

OASIS is building a robust planned giving program for those who believe in our mission

and want to ensure the organization is still around long after they are gone One of the

ways members choose to give to us in that capacity is through a bequest Fellow OASIS

member and Attorney Joni Gray has offered a free consultation and discounted services

to anyone interested in adding OASIS to their will or trust My wife Kelly and I owe so

much to this organization Wersquove literally built our lives around it so it was an easy

decision for us to add OASIS as one of the recipients of our final estate By doing so we

ensure our work and special memories made here live on with the next generation I hope

yoursquoll consider

Finally wersquoll have a survey for OASIS members available from August through

September We depend on your honest feedback so please stop by and fill it out
