Oracle Foothills
Neighborhood Association
Welcome to the Oracle Foothills Neighborhood Association website
The Oracle Foothills Neighborhood encompasses approximately 275 homes situated in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains on the north side of Tucson, Arizona. Close to the city yet out in the country, wildlife and native plants characterize this eclectic and interesting neighborhood. We urge you to get involved in your neighborhood and help make it an even better place to live!
It Rained on the Picnic!
And that's the last rain we had in 2024!
We carried on and had a good time in spite of the weather. We had cover and a fire in the poolhouse fireplace to help us keep warm. Many thanks to those of you who braved the weather and came out to join us.

What is Oracle Foothills Neighborhood Association?
Our Purpose is:
Promoting sensitive land use and preserving property values in the area of the Oracle Foothills Neighborhood Association, as defined in the Revised By-Laws of April 2023
Promoting the health and welfare of the residents of Oracle Foothills
Beautifying and improving our neighborhood
Keeping residents informed of the issues that affect them
Also:
We are NOT an HOA.
We are a voluntary organization dependent on the support and participation of our neighbors.
We own no community property, but we do help to maintain some areas that belong to Pima County. These include the Dellacona Triangle Park at the intersection of Genematas and Canyon View and the traffic circle at Yvon and Nina.
OFNA holds a neighborhood picnic in the fall that is open to everyone.
We maintain a website and publish a newsletter called Desert Dwellers.
A Book Club meets monthly.
A household hazardous waste collection is held quarterly.
Dues are $45 per year, and membership runs from September 1 to August 31.
Board meetings are held quarterly, and there is a membership meeting held in September.
OFNA published a book about our neighborhood called A Walker's Guide. This is a wonderful book full of interesting information, maps, history, architecture, and diverse and amazing neighbors!

Married to my wife Jane (a Tucson native) for 43+ years; have two adopted grown married boys and four grandchildren in the Midwest. Purchased our current home in 2011 and I retired in 2014 from the Nuclear Power Industry after 33 years. Held most management positions at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station including Chemistry Manager, Radiation Protection Manager, Integrated Work Manager, Training Manager and Senior Consultant to the Chief Nuclear Officer. Have a strong science/engineering and biology background, with an undergraduate degree from University of Nebraska (Omaha) and graduate work from University of Arizona.

I utilize solar energy and rainwater harvesting.
