Oakwood is a small community within the larger community called Westmont. Volunteers are the glue that binds the Oakwood community together. Listed below are the standing committees that make Oakwood work. As can be seen, some are a committee in name only and desperately need volunteers to make them functional again. Please, if you are welling to donate a little of your time please contact the OHA via the contact page on this website. Let us know which committee you are interested in and we will get you connected. We need your help!

The Social Committee organizes and supervises social and recreational activities of the Association in Oakwood. Most, but not all of these activities are for our children. Examples of activities include a Halloween Party, Easter Egg Hunt, Christmas Party, and a Summer Oakwood picnic. Past events have included Road Rallies, Golf Outings, Dinner Groups, dances, and a Junior High Social Group.

Without volunteers, our children will not have the parties that the children of Oakwood have grown up with. If you are willing to organize and run an event or even just help with an event, please contact the OHA. Our children need your help!
