JCC Adult Services
Programs Have Something
for Everybody
The Oasis Senior Enrichment
Program brings active seniors
together for a celebration of phys
ical, mental and social activities.
Noted for its excellence in after
noon programs, Oasis brings in
professors from surrounding col
leges and universities; specialized
artists and musicians; politicians;
commentators and professionals
from various businesses and agen
cies to offer interactive discus
sions on various topics. Some of
the topics include: current events
and politics; religion; art and
music therapies; cutting edge
health education; as well as vari
ous cultural studies to name a few.
Need something more hands
on? Specialty classes and work
shops are also added to the pro
gram to offer a hands-on pursuit
of the arts. Additionally, our resi
dent writing instructor, Barbara
Lawing, leads poetry and creative
writing classes every Monday as
well as an in-house Writers’
Retreat the first Thursday of each
month. Oasis is also home to the
“Charlotte Movie Club” which
meets first Thursdays monthly at
the Levine JCC and uses film to
provoke questions about who we
are and what our purpose is. A cin
ematic discussion and lunch
always follow the screening.
Still not convinced? Hear it
from our participants! As one
Oasis member explains, “In inter
acting with my peers, I realize that
age can’t be stereotyped.
Personalities remain the same.”
Another participant notes that
Oasis gives her life “structure - no
floating in time,” while a third
comments that her writing has
“improved” and reveals, ‘T am an
attorney and write like one but
Barbara Lawing is helping me to
be other than lawyer-like.”
If you are interested in attend
ing the Oasis Senior Enrichment
Program, please contact Stephanie
Glick at 704-944-6730. The first
time is free. 4*
