A SPECIAL LOOK AT OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY
Opportunities can be hard to find in such an environment as this. But with guided thought and inspiration of faith one can find the way. This is our Centennial New Year. We have gathered some pictures and videos of the History of our Orlo Vista Community. Please enjoy them. We are looking for more Pictures with Variety and Authenticity. And we will be glad to add them to our slide show. Let's be informed and connected by our History. When cleaning out for the New Year Share those archives! Bring them to our meetings or send them to ovchamber@att.net.

Our story
Orlo Vista has went through many hard time eras. But we have always pulled together and helped one another when the times got rough. Through our Churches and Social Gatherings we have always kept in communication to find out who needed what. Through various new means and developments we hope to continue to improve our quality of life. Take a little time to reach out to your neighbor.
