Single Boomers Social Club
nJim Ptak
Our May social was a great success with 35–40 members and guests enjoying dinner, beverages and lively conversation at the Quail Inn. Please join us for our next gathering at the Quail Inn on lucky Friday, June 13 from 5–9 p.m. We’ll have a private room. Happy hour ends at 6 p.m. and dinner service ends at 7 p.m. Most everyone in Oakmont has heard of the Singles Boomers Social Club. It’s even better to be a designated member to enjoy our club member-only activities. But there are some lesser known designations, particularly for the month of June. For instance, did you know that June is National Accordion Awareness Month as well as Turkey Lovers’ Month? While you’re reading

New Residents Reception Draws Large Crowd
nLeanne Smith
More than 100 new residents walked into Berger Center on May 6 and saw a whirlwind of activity. The event was the semi-annual New Residents Reception and representatives from 55 Oakmont organizations were stationed at assigned tables, eager to provide information about what they do.

Social clubs, recreational clubs, community service and special interest clubs were there, along with other groups. “You can get as busy or as unbusy as you want,” said Association Manager Cassie Turner, who was there to welcome newcomers and present information about Oakmont. Brief overviews were also provided by representatives from the Architectural Committee, Oakmont Golf Club, Oakmont Gardens, the Oakmont Emergency Preparedness Committee and Citizens Organized to Prepare for Emergencies (COPE). Most of the donated door prizes were handed out via random drawing. The first prize, however, was bestowed on a gentleman from France. Why? He had come here from the farthest geographical location. “Why did you move here?” Turner asked jokingly. Hopefully, he’ll enjoy his prize—a basket of California wine.
