Oasis Rocks For Active Generations November 7, 2009

What happens when members from OASIS Lakewood join with The Rock Club? It’s Battle of the Bands, Senior Style, and a fundraising concert that’s not to be missed! On November 7, 2009, OASIS, a national non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of adults 50 and older, is partnering with The Rock Club, giving OASIS members an experience of a lifetime and audiences an opportunity to support OASIS in its fundraising efforts while they share in the fun. The concert will be filled with old standards, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and other classics, for a 3 hour concert and showcase.

OASIS, a national non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of adults 50 and older through lifelong learning, healthy aging, and volunteer opportunities, supports the community by offering both free and low cost programs that enrich the lives of our senior population.

The Rock Club LLC is a membership-based program which encourages musicians of all ages and abilities. Over a short period of weeks, the members of OASIS are put into bands, choose the songs they want to play, and meet once a week in The Rock Club studio where full instruments and coaching by a professional and seasoned musician are provided.

For the “OASIS Lakewood Rocks the Generations” fundraiser concert, OASIS musicians will dust off their musical talent and perform live at the Gaslamp Restaurant in front of family, friends, and the public. The funds from this event go to support the OASIS Active Generations program which promotes physical activity and healthy eating for low-income children and their families by teaming pairs of adults age 50+ with kids in grades 3 to 5 in after school settings.

This event is being generously supported by Lakewood Rotary in its ongoing efforts to support the community and bridge the gap between generations. Partnership opportunities are available. Please contact Kit G. Katz, director of OASIS Lakewood (562) 601-5041, about working with OASIS Lakewood and Lakewood Rotary in this exciting collaboration and to help make “OASIS Rocks” a huge success.
