This month our regular Let’s Talk event was in-person and social: residents gathered for a communal potluck meal and bingo at the Oakland Affordable Living community room on Wadsworth Street. Potluck delicacies included mac and cheese, shepherd’s pie, and cheesy potatoes. The evening was full of fun, and community members enjoyed conversation and forging new connections.
Long-time Oakland resident and community advocate Liz Bennett was the bingo caller for the evening. Winners received gift cards to Oakland restaurants -but it was clear that the real treasures of the night were the new friendships forged over dinner and play.
