Then, following the tour, we will be gathering from 5-7 PM for fellowship and beverages at Brooklyn West Winery in Jack London Square, supporting the establishment of one of our fellow Oakland Rotarians.
Join us for both. Join us just for one. Join us.

What a day at Rotary!
We celebrated 38-year Oakland Rotarian Gail Uilkema. Thank you for your decades of service and commitment to our community. You truly represent the Rotary motto of #ServiceAboveSelf. Bon voyage and good luck in the nest chapter of your life.
We laughed and learned with Native American comedian Jackie Keliiaa. #GoodMedicine indeed.
We welcomed visiting Rotarians and guests such as #Piedmont Mayor Betsy Smegal Andersen and Oakland City Councilmember Noel Gallo.
We inducted three new Rotarians – welcome aboard!
And we got invited to the annual Lunar New Year dinner at Peony restaurant in Oakland Chinatown on February 19.
Not bad for a Thursday! 🙂
Sound on for an instrumental taste of double Grammy award winner and Oakland’s own @kehlani - a graduate of OSA. @osaschool
