OAK is devoted to the outdoors, concentrating its efforts in South Florida. One of our focuses is on giving to the community as volunteers.

In the past, we worked at Deerfield Island, Florida helping to clear Australian Pine trees and plant new vegetation. We worked at the John U. Lloyd Park clearing Australian Pines and planting new trees as well. We even transplanted a live oak, and it was named after the Klub, "OAK’s oak". Kind of corny, but we liked it. After that project, we worked at John U. Lloyd maintaining and cleaning the roadways.

Next, we maintained the trails, laid down new mulch and removed unwanted and/or dangerous vegetation at Secret Woods County Park.

We are now volunteering for the County and the City of Wilton Manors, Florida. We remove trash along a mile of N.E. 15th/16th Avenues between the south bridge at the Colohatchee Park and the north bridge just above 26^th Street. Our volunteers perform this job every two-three months. The County provides us with gloves, bright fluorescent vests, long pick-up tongs, street signs and barriers. We work only in the swale, never in the street.

Recently, the Wilton Manors Board of Commissioners recognized OAK in a formal ceremony for the work we do (a copy of the Certificate of Appreciation is appended in our Photos Section).

No one is standing there applauding us as we work, although various motorists do signify their appreciation by gentle honking of the horn and pedestrians compliment us for our efforts. Afterward, to maintain our bond, we go for brunch at a local restaurant, usually Peter Pan on Oakland Park Boulevard.
