Concern about the renewed COVID spread and Omicron Variant has been expressed to us. Additionally, we are advised that the parking lot at the East Rec will be closed to car traffic for that week. To that end, the Oakmont Garden Club feels it is prudent to cancel the January 11th General Meeting. Shirley Phillips presentation of “Trash Can Composting” is rescheduled to March 9. Please accept our apologies.
