The senior citizens of Oakland are active members in the community. They can be seen and heard expressing their views at Oakland town council meetings offering advice for both the town, New Jersey and the country. They also are active socially through the senior center and the senior club, two distinct though overlapping entities in Oakland, NJ. There are frequent social events during the days and evenings, guest speakers, as well as seminars and classes.
