oldest Rotary Club in the World, founded in 1908 just three years after Rotary’s start in Chicago (#1) and its extension to San Francisco (#2). Our Rotary Club is one of 56 clubs belonging to District

, an area extending from Oakland south to Watsonville.Our Rotary Club of Oakland is 300 business and professional men and women giving back to the Oakland Community and beyond. As the third
oldest Rotary Club in the World, Oakland #3 is a unique club offering great tradition and a lot of fun. The key to Oakland #3 is:
- A large club with 35 committees giving $200,000 each year for scholarships and community service projects;
- Diverse club membership, with prominence in the local community;
- Outstanding speakers at luncheon meetings each Thursday;
- Numerous social functions that benefit the community;
- Excellent business exchange and networking opportunities; and
- A place to meet successful and generous people working together to create a better world.
Members value that they can “give back” to the community efficiently and with impact, even when faced with time limitations. Members also value long-term friendships and business contacts developed
through our service and social events. Come learn more about our exciting activities and programs like Camp Enterprise, the Barrier Free Park, our Business Extension Committee, and our Wine and Food
