Lincoln Senior Center “Festival of Trees” thanks you

Send a link to a friend  Share

To the editor:

On behalf of the Lincoln Oasis Senior Center, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every person that enjoyed our nightly festivities. The meals of celebration had a great turnout; 33 pies were part of the silent auction; the gift shop was visited by many; we sold over 75 pounds of donated cookies and candies; the “Taste of Lincoln” was a large success and the auction of decorated Christmas trees was a lot of fun with our volunteer auctioneer, Dan White.

A special thank you to the vendors for the first Oasis “Taste of Lincoln:” Deep Roots Café & Bakery (Fay and Megan Boerma); El Mazatlan Restaurant & Grill (Martin Leon), Guzzardo’s Italian Villa (John, Frankie and Nick Guzzardo), Lincoln Land Catering (Pat and Nick Bay); Nuthatch Hill BBQ Company (Brad Luckhart); Petty’s Place (Peggy Payne), and Samsational Sweets (Samantha Danosky). These caterers and restaurateurs so generously donated their time and their exceptionally tasty delights. We appreciated the community for being so supportive of the Oasis Senior Center. Please thank these folks when you have the opportunity to do business with them.

The Oasis would not be able to operate without its volunteers. No matter the size of the job(s) you performed, the Oasis appreciates every minute you gave during our four amazing nights of festivities.

To each and every person that volunteered and gave of themselves for the Oasis Senior Center, you are extended a heartfelt thank you.

The Oasis wishes you all a blessed, happy and healthy holiday season!

Sincerely,
Dom Dalpoas
Executive Director
