Oak Hill Makes Fundraising Fun

Marinitas Restaurant Logo  

Towards the goal of tooting our horn about all that we do, as well as raising the funds to keep playing our horns, so to speak, we plan to continue Oak Hill's successful events of the past, as well as dreaming up new ones. Margaritas at Marinitas is one of our past successes - because we have so much fun! Down the hill from our school, this home of "Latin Focused Lusciousness" puts on a wonderful party.  Thanks to owners Pat Coll, Heidi Krahling and Oak Hill founders Scott and Jennifer Fearon, we can get luscious again on the 30th.  We will toast founding board member Lucie Alexander, who returned to Oak Hill two years ago to shepherd our Transition Program with decades of experience and know-how in her pocket. Order your tickets here, or get them at the door, and join us for a delightful evening.
