In doing so, staff will ensure that the caterers using the kitchen and Event Center have all the proper paperwork such as business license and insurance and have received a thorough training on the responsibilities, i.e. cleanliness. An RFQ has been processed through Purchasing. The result was a selection of seven caterers. Now when customers rent the facility, they will be given the list of caterers and must choose one of them if they will be serving food at the Center. Careful attention has been made that the companies are able to do the very large events to the smallest Board meeting type functions and that they come with high recommendations. Talent Show - OASIS staff put on the 2nd Annual Talent Showcase with 350 in attendance. It was an opportunity for OASIS members to have fun and perform for other seniors. This year a few of the Living Senior Community Centers brought a van or two to enjoy the day. We had 12 performances from hula dancing to solo singing performances. BBO and aMovie - This summer we put on a casual BBQ lunch before the monthly movie. This activity has turned out to be great fun with over 125 people attending the August event. 4 OASIS Senior Resources Expo - The Expo was a grand success with over 40o attendees. There were 55 vendors, which ranged from Living Communities to non -profit agencies that assist seniors with Medicare information. The "Taste at OASIS" was a great success, we had six retirement communities bringing their own stations and menu. The only long line was waiting for us to open for lunch at noon. Aside from the heat the lunch was very successful with lots of fabulous food being offered. All in all, the event was a great success with lots of rave reviews. Kudos to Recreation Supervisor Vicki Chin for a great planning job.
