The Voice of East Bay Living

Berkeley Rotary Club is involved in many community activities.  A year ago, several of the club's members started Brighter Beginnings, a Richmond Healthcare Clinic, located at 2727 Macdonald Blvd. in Richmond. The clinic is staffed by over 25 volunteers, who have a variety of medical skills ranging from doctors, nurses, translators, and offers free medical care for adults and children who do not have health insurance.  In one year they have treated 967 patients, 66% live below the poverty line.   

Do you want to take a walk in a very special place 20 minutes away? Eastshore State Park is a remarkable walking trail extending 8.5 miles along the East  Bay shoreline from the Bay Bridge to Richmond.  It includes 1,854 acres of uplands and tidelands along the waterfronts of Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley, Albany and Richmond. Pedestrian and bike trails run almost the entire length of the park providing lovely panoramic views of the Bay. It is a wonderful getaway so close to home.
