Like everyone in our community, events of November 30, 2021, were crushing. Physically, mentally, and emotionally crushing. This is a community where the degree of separation is likely no more than one person, so unless you are new here, you were likely deeply affected. I’ve read the report and the results are what I expected. […]
Dear Oxford Community, It is with mixed emotions that we, the Oxford Lions Club, write this letter to bid farewell after 76 incredible years of service to our beloved community.

Just some information, I wanted to share with the community. I received my Medicare Summary Notice which lists what medicare paid for my medical expenses.

As we age we lose many of our role purposes. In the normal course of life our children leave home, we retire and […]

This year, the United States has averaged more than one mass shooting per day, according to […]
