What a treat! The May 22, Friday night virtual event with John Standish, Mark Allen, Edie Carey, and cameo appearance by Dylan Standish, was a joyful and heartwarming evening. It was nice to touch base with more than a hundred people. The music was wonderful and the nostalgia level was high. John included some video footage of past Oak House music jams and there were some brief scenes of the pools, the projects, and the grounds. People were generous and we collected more than $1,000 in donations while the music played.

What? Can one be social in isolation? We so want to socialize during this time of physical distancing.
A couple of weeks ago, we launched a fundraising campaign to help OLT during this closure necessitated by the Covid-19 virus. Under usual circumstances, we would be greeting people, taking phone calls, and scheduling your reservations. Alas, as everyone knows, this is not a “normal” spring. We value our guests and our staff and maintaining everyone’s good health is the priority. The most caring activity we can do now is to keep our physical distance while we continue to monitor the situation. We are looking ahead, evaluating the recommendations of the health professionals, and planning for the time that we can safely reopen the hot springs. We plan to notify everyone about when you can return, including any revised guidelines that will apply.
