Oasis Offers a Safe Haven for Teens
For the past five years, The Oasis - Grayslake Youth Center has been a special place for kids in Grayslake and surrounding communities.

I love sharing stories that matter to people, highlighting their passions and bringing important issues to light. I work with Wilmette-Kenilworth Patch, and with Patches throughout the Chicagoland suburbs. My goal is to help readers enjoy their experience on Patch.
I want to highlight local businesses, and work with bloggers to help ensure several diverse and interesting voices on Patch. Reach me at 847-571-0679.
