We celebrated 30 years of service to our community and our purchase of the Grove Building, on September 21st. Everyone who attended our event enjoyed a sunny, warm day of fun, food, great music and amazing entertainment. When you visit our page with the pictures you'll discover scenes of Ballet Folklorico, the Prescott Clowns, the United Capoeira Association, the Oakland Military Institute Drill Team, the McBride School of Dancers, the White Horse Harpers, and the Starry Plough Musicians.

The children enjoyed the entertainment, the Book Mobile, the face painting and the snow cones. Some even toured the fire engine. Many of the children went home with stuffed animals donated by Mom & Pop Green Foundation.

On behalf of PSS and the Community we want to thank our sponsors for this event: the PSS Board of Directors, the City of Oakland, Excel Graphics, the Port of Oakland, SOULBEAT KSBT-TV, KQED, Core Communications, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Oakland Firefighters Random Acts, and Mindseye Productions. Supporters include Safeway and Alberston's stores.
