What a beautiful day for a picnic! 🧺 ☀️ 🌳
Especially if it’s at the Rotary Oakland Barrier Free park at the Roberts Regional Recreation Area. That’s where we gathered today to celebrate the Rotary time, treasure, and talent that went into helping make this barrier free park a reality.
Proud to be joined today by the East Bay Regional Parks District, Center for Independent Living, and Rotarians from District 5170 and across the East Bay.
Take your family some time and join us at our next Rotary offsite., especially one where John Claassen serves up his famous homemade corn dogs. They are truly delicious!
