🦁🌍 A Wild Night of Fellowship, Philanthropy & Good Deeds! 🌿✨
On Thursday, April 10, over 170 Oakland Rotarians and friends gathered for A Service Safari to celebrate 116 years of service in Oakland and around the world. The evening was filled with joy, generosity, and inspiring moments — including a heartfelt speech from Erik Lopez, a two-time Enterprise Institute participant, who shared how the program shaped his growth and academic journey. 💬🙌
🧭 With a vibrant safari theme dreamed up by Carla Betts, guests dressed the part and transformed the lobby of 1111 Broadway into a scene of adventure and celebration. 🌅
🍷 Dinner was catered by @bocanovaoakland , with wine generously donated by Ruth Stroup, making it a truly special night honoring Rotary’s impact locally and globally.
