Lively entertainment, delicious food and premium wines will be featured
at the fifth annual Taste of Spring on Thursday, May 8, at the
Oakland Rotunda, sponsored by Friends of Oakland Parks and Recreation
(FOPR). The event, at 300 Frank Ogawa Plaza, will be held from 5:30 to
8:00 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by TrapezeWorld, the top aerial
and acrobatic production company in the nation, and the event will
feature both live and silent auctions.
“This is our most important fundraising event
of the year,” said Kathy Raymond, executive
director of FOPR. “We use the money raised
from the Taste of Spring to fund grants and scholarships for
children to participate in Oakland’s varied
recreational programs and to provide funding for capital improvement
projects for parks and recreational facilities.”
Tickets for FOPR members are $40 in advance or $50 at the door. Tickets
for the general public are $65 in advance or $75 at the door.
