Dear Ocean Shores Community Club Members,
Happy New Year! Your OSCC team is excited for the new year and wishes to thank everyone for the wonderful cards and gifts. We appreciate the kind words and support shared. We are all very grateful.
2025 arrives with great possibilities. Possibilities include renewing old friendships and making new friends; renewing the commitment to health or beginning to work to a healthier you; expanding your horizons and trying new activities or revisiting some old. There are so many possibilities and OSCC is a great place to begin anew.
Club Updates
2024 was a year for growth at OSCC. We had record breaking attendance for our Annual Picnic, our Holiday Bazaar, and the overall club usage. Club usage was up 8% from the previous year. It is heartwarming to see our friends and neighbors coming together and enjoying our activities and/or facilities. Activities and updates are posted on our website www.oceanshorescc.com.
OSCC continues to grow and evolve. We encourage members to share their ideas and wants for the future. Please email your suggestions to oscommclub@coastaccess.com. Ideas and suggestions will be reviewed with fair and reasonable consideration.
Membership Reminders
Membership access and privileges are awarded to those whose name appear on the membership card. The card cannot be transferred for another individual’s use. Primary membership card holders (purple, white and now teal card colors) can each bring up to four guests. Members hosting guests at the club must remain present at the club. There is a $1.00 fee for each guest using the club.
To ensure a healthy, respectful and safe environment, members are encouraged to review club rules and guidelines posted throughout the building and in our monthly paper. Thank you so much for your kind attention and support.
Lifeguards Needed
Our team is growing and OSCC is seeking additional Lifeguard team members. Training will be provided. Please contact OSCC for more information and an application.

A Step Back in Time
The 1990’s was a decade of prosperity and growth. We were introduced to the internet. Computers began to become a greater part of our work and home life. Remember the floppy disks? The Hubble Space Telescope was launched and Dolly the sheep was the first animal to be cloned. Science and technology brought change to our daily lives.
Fashion was changing. The grunge look was in and skateboarding became a thrilling past time. The sitcom Friends influenced hairstyles and dress while speaking to life’s relationship challenges.
In January 1996 the Ocean Observer’ issue mirrored many of today’s news worthy articles. The Holiday Bazaar was a success as 340 people attended; membership reminders for card holders and the City’s Tour of Lights were highlighted. Check out the past while we look to the future. Copies of the paper are available in the Loft.
Closing Thought
“And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
I am wishing all our members and families a very healthy, happy and fun filled year! May the new year bring great adventure to all!
Happy New Year!
