Spring General Membership Meeting: Celebrating 90 Years of Oakhurst!

This year marks the 90th anniversary of the development of Oakhurst. As it did 10 years ago on the 80th anniversary, the Oakhurst Neighborhood Association will celebrate this milestone occasion with a special emphasis on the history of the neighborhood.

The newly published photographic history, “Fort Worth’s Oakhurst Neighborhood,” will be formally presented. There will be birthday cake and ONA members will also elect 2014-15 officers and street representatives during the Spring General Membership Meeting to be held at Calvary Academy.

Residents who have lived in the neighborhood for more than 50 years will be recognized. If you have lived in Oakhurst for more than 50 years or have neighbors who have lived here that long, please contact ONA Treasurer David Collyer at 817.838.8320 to be sure your name is on the list for recognition.

Please join us to celebrate the great heritage of this unique neighborhood. It promises to be a fun and interesting evening!

Candidates include:
