Committee Blog

The Rotary Club of Oakland is not all about community service, but also about helping small local businesses excel in this challenging time.  Small businesses are facing evictions and many are closing their doors, the Oakland Rotary is here to help.  Having said that, we are here to provide resources for businesses to acquire capital to continue with their business.  This event is to raise awareness about the PPP Loan that was approved by our government. We have a couple of community banks that are willing to help.  Please tune in to see how you and your business can qualify.
