"Yearbook" montage. Woody put together this collage from individual photos of many current Twin Oakers in late 2003.

Sunrise SLG. SLG means Small Living Group. Each Twin Oaks residence contains one or two small living groups which have a modest amount of autonomy. Sunrise is one group that has regular meetings and occasional outings. This photo was taken right after one of its weekly meetings, in the last 1990s.

Mele tours a visitor group. We have a quite structured 3-week visitor program, offered 10-11 times per year, for people seriously interested in membership. This group, probably from 2002, was getting a tour. Mele is in middle back, short hair and glasses.

Vegetarian festival group. Twin Oaks members and two Twin Oaks visitors participate in various outside political and social events. These folks helped out at a vegetarian festival and were given nice t-shirts, besides the great food. Pictured are Bill, Ben and Debby plus two visitors in front (Elsa and Ben Visitor.) Debby is holding baby Gwen.

Not a cult. OK it does look like a cult. These Oakers however shaved their heads as an alternative to the chemical way to control head lice. Yes there are occaisonal epidemics affecting a bunch of us; some people have shaved their heads on just the mention of the L word.

Swimming pond. Party in the pond. Probably one of many holiday gatherings.

Sunrise SLG outing. Trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah National Park for hiking are a frequent outing for Twin Oakers. Pictured here is Sunrise Small Living Group which occasionally does various activities such as a hike, work party, ice skating, etc.
