Just some Rotarians gathering weekly to learn, report out on our service efforts, and share some love for community and humanity.
Today was extra special as we honored C.J. Hirschfield with her reintroduction. There were so many bell-ringers in her honor!
We also proudly welcomed two new corporate members - Family Bridges and the Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts, learning all about the history, renovation, and future of the latter.
Join us this Saturday as we cheer on the Oakland Roots at the Coliseum and next week as we host the Rotary Club of San Francisco, 2nd oldest Rotary Club in the world, founded right before ours over 100 years ago. And don’t forget our offsite meeting at the end of the month at the Rotary Oakland Barrier Free Park! ... See MoreSee Less

Today we gather in a venue that Elvis performed in (twice!). Dr. King once spoke there. And today we’ll hear from the architect who designed its revitalization and the CEO who is bringing it back to life as a thriving center for arts and civic life. See you at noon at the Henry J!
We have a busy remainder of the month as well - a Roots game outing this Saturday, a joint meeting with a Rotary SF, and then an offsite to celebrate a barrier free park we helped fund. Join us in fellowship and service.
