Highlighting one of our local celebrities 😉 Classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, and Saturday mornings at the Oak Island Rec Center! I’ve gone a few times, and likely embarrassed myself, but had a great workout!

In today's episode of Self-Care Share, host Tiffany Cripps speaks with barre instructor Suzanne Brown about Recreation Center Barre on Oak Island.

We are incredibly fortunate to live in a place where people from all over the country come to make memories. Somewhere tonight, a family is watching these fireworks over our pier, and years from now they’ll begin telling a story with, “Remember that time we were in Oak Island…” What a privilege it is that our community becomes part of so many families’ favorite memories.

A sincere thank you to our town staff and everyone working behind the scenes to make tonight possible. While the rest of us gather with family and friends, they are serving our community so that we can celebrate.

If you'd like to discuss something in more detail, feel free to email me directly ([email protected]).

I also want to take the time to thank our Town Manager, Finance Director, and the rest of staff who spent countless hours putting this together and working their magic to prepare this budget - huge thanks!

Oak Island Citizens Academy registration is open!

If you’ve ever wanted a behind the scenes look at how our local government works, I highly recommend checking out the Oak Island Citizens Academy. This is a great program put together by our Town staff that gives participants an inside look at town departments and operations all in a way that’s both informative and interactive.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn more about Oak Island, ask questions, and connect with the people who keep our town running every day!

The Oak Island Citizens Academy is an interactive program designed to educate and familiarize residents with the departments and services provided by their local government.
