Start an Event
Five Oaks encourages members to bring forward ideas for events, activities and other functions that would benefit the community as a whole.
If a member is willing to conceptualize, plan, host and coordinate the clean-up effort for an event that would be open to all members for free, Five Oaks will often waive rental fees and may even offer a small budget to help bolster the event. Bring us your ideas!
