OSCA Successfully Kicks Off the New Year!
Our Shoreline Community Association (OSCA), could just as well have been called “Our Shoreline Village” or “Staying Put in Mystic/Noank.” The ideas of a “village” and “aging in place” are key concepts of OSCA and many similar grassroot, non-profit organizations that are taking shape across the country.
The basis of OSCA is a group of members and volunteers who help each other take care of many of the needs that go with being able to live independently, maintain community and social ties.
OSCA's kick off potluck/planning meeting was a huge success on
Jan. 21. Missed the fun? Here's another chance - pencil in Sun., Feb. 21. Further information will be forthcoming. OSCA currently has 42 members,
with a goal of 100 members by year-end.
