Getting ready to host their annual Open House, officials with the Oakdale Rescue Mission, 131 W. G St., Oakdale, are encouraging residents to stop by on Saturday, Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 4 to see what the organization’s work is all about.

It’s an informal ‘meet and greet’ type event, running from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day, with a presentation by guest speakers scheduled at 3 p.m.

There will also be an overview of the various programs and services offered on site.

Residents will be able to take tours, light refreshments will be served and the Open House provides all interested with a chance to learn more about being part of the ORM team.

New and improved Oakdale Rescue Mission T-shirts, with a brand new design, will be for sale as well during the event.
