PACC to host 'Taste of Oasis' in North County

ESCONDIDO –The Park Avenue Community Center in Escondido will be hosting “Taste of Oasis” on Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in their auditorium, 210 E Park Ave,.

This free event will highlight upcoming programs and activities sponsored by San Diego Oasis, a non-profit organization supporting successful aging through lifelong learning, healthy living, and community service.

San Diego Oasis also operates an intergenerational literacy tutoring program that encourages older adults to work with at-risk children to improve reading skills and self-esteem in Title One designated elementary schools throughout San Diego.

“You can help bring a smile to the face of an at-risk student by bringing a new or slightly used age appropriate book for students K-4 to the Taste of Oasis event, and help us reach our goal of distributing 100,000 books to these students,” says Simona Valanciute, San Diego Oasis President and CEO.

Over 700 older adult tutors work in 11 school districts, (including Bonsall Unified), sharing their time, talents and wisdom with students who need their help.

San Diego Oasis offers almost 3,000 classes, activities, and trips throughout the year with lectures and sessions in health and wellness, exercise and dance, arts and crafts, history and humanities, finance, technology, languages and personal development at more than 45 partner locations.

Oasis was most recently awarded 2019 Impact Awards from both the North San Diego Business Chamber and the Escondido Chamber of Commerce. “This is a wonderful opportunity for community members to meet many of our instructors and community sponsors, while also helping our youth by donating a book that will be distributed to children throughout our county,” states David Beevers, San Diego Oasis Program Manager for North County. Light refreshments and giveaways will also be provided.
