Friends of OASIS (Friends) has kept its dues low so everyone can participate. As a result, dues do not provide nearly enough funds for Friends to carry out its mission. Among the many other services we give to the community, we provide a shuttle services (one full time and one part time), within the Newport Beach area.
Please consider donating to this great cause.
