Oasis gifts provide for senior center's future          Send a link to a friend 

[JUNE 15, 2005]  A generous financial donation from Larry Van Bibber was acknowledged during the May meeting of The Oasis board of directors. At a dedication and meal May 19, Van Bibber and his family were formally recognized for his unselfish gift to the senior center.

Van Bibber's donation to the center for the 2005 calendar year exceeds $25,000, qualifying him as the first individual brass plaque contributor in the Reflections program. His wishes for the donation were that the funds be placed in reserve to help The Oasis continue its efforts to offer services and programs for seniors in the years to come.

The "Reflections" mural, located in the activity area at The Oasis, has a color-coded key to indicate the level of contributions made to the center. A brass plaque represents a gift of $25,000 or more; a red plaque represents $10,000-$24,999.99; a blue plaque represents $5,000-$9,999.99; a green plaque represents $1,000-$4,999.99; and a black plaque represents $500-$999.99.
