I had never heard of the Oasis Institute and was pleased to find out when I checked their website, that there is one in Rochester, NY. My son lives there and I am considering a move there down the road. It would be nice to have something like this as a way to meet new people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537816545726772520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-92078114479300139252018-02-16T21:20:55.901-05:002018-02-16T21:20:55.901-05:00Great Decisions even happens in this tiny town.
