The Oak Ridge Police Department will host a community social at the Scarboro Community Center tonight (Thursday, August 1). It’s scheduled from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

The event will be held inside the gymnasium at the Scarboro Community Center, which is located at 148 Carver Avenue in Oak Ridge.

“Everyone is invited to attend,” a press release said. “The goal of the event is to build and enhance community relationships.”

Scheduled keynote speakers include Clara Chambles, deaconess at Oak Valley Baptist Church, and local real estate agent Karen George. The topics of discussion will include community ownership, community growth and development, and city codes, the press release said.

Participants will be able to register for door prizes provided by local retailers. Refreshments will also be available. You do not need to make a reservation.
