In that regard.

C

A

uh My name is Diane aldrito um I live in Brisbane for over 20 years, but originally I'm from Japan and um had a chance to work on some some International or legal stuff. As part of my legal department work in San Francisco and then since I live in Brisbane I wanted to get to know more about Brisbane, and you know thinking what I can do uh for birthday wishes and I'm reside here comedy for.

A lot of the Brisbane helping hand: sport is our participants and they've been practicing. This Tai, Chi and uh so I've been working with them. Some of the members of the community and they're really enjoying it.

We've lived here um prior to that kind of been all like in the peninsula: San Jose, Daly, City, South, San, Francisco, San Bruno, um but born and raised in San Francisco, and you mentioned that this is kind of like your first foray.

D

Until like the public sector, um most of my career has been with the private sector, um but about 14 years ago I made the transition to um public sector, so I work for the federal government and within that we work with um you, know: underprivileged communities and multi-family housing. Now I've made the transition to healthcare, Healthcare facilities, um and so you know, I am all about.

You know that is about you know, fairness and equity and so I'm really about um you, know the whole inclusive, diversity, Equity, um and so, when I seen that in in the little newsletter, I was very uh drawn to that. Because I was at a stage where it was kind of like what can I do like in my community and- and it was almost like.

D

C

Real problem please share Horton aye Vice, chair College, absent Committee, Member, Dennis, I, remember, deli's, absent, Committee, Member, Nida I, think everybody remembers it I.

B

um All right are there any members of the public wishing to speak on an item not on the agenda. They're.

C

E

All right, so, let's move into.

B

New business, uh we can discuss planning for cultural celebration of aapi months. um Can we have this that importance.

C

Sure um Okay so some background around this. So when is the Asian American Pacific Islander, Heritage Month this month is celebrated in May, and the month is dedicated to celebrating the cultures, traditions and histories of aapi Asian, American Pacific Islanders during this month. We reflect on tremendous contributions, is that Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders have made, and also remember the challenges that they are have facing continue to face. We celebrate that at this month their resilience and strength and reaffirm our commitment to standing with them.

C

So, as you know, back in 2021 Brisbane hosted a Stanwood Asians invention, which resulted in over 500 people gathering in the park. The community park should announce all racism and recently motivated attacks towards the API Community Calvin, Lear resident or one of our residents, um took the lead and took the crucial first step of writing to city council members uh to express his deep concern about what was happening in the aapi community and was hoping that the city could show support after the successful vigil.

C

Calvin Lee, also reached out to the idea committee well via the city manager last fall asking for the city to fly a stand with Asians flag. So subsequently the idea event subcommittee agreed to agreed to have or host an aapi History Month event to commemorate aepi heritage month, but also to get the younger generation involved and the community aware of issues impacting the community.

C

At that time, too idea Committee created a like flying policy, black policy and create a stand with Asians flag, and then we flew the flag, also I believe it was like February parts of Feb in February, um so this year's. So what is this year's theme for the acre? Heritage Month? um So, as you know, the API a API heritage month was established back in 1977.. This year's theme um 2023 is advancing leaders through opportunity and so looking at kind of like what are some of the best practices and how to celebrate.

C

Ap aapi Heritage Month, um some some. You know some of the kind of leaders have said that successful events will depend on creating a welcoming atmosphere, offer an authentic experience and three celebrate the culture and traditions um of Asian American Pacific Islanders.

C

um There's some like guiding questions like what really matters to the community. What is making us dance and cry what needs to be seen said or heard. What can we learn from each other and maybe also thinking about like um how to get engagement of the entire Community here in Brisbane, like we said, creating a welcoming atmosphere, so there's a lot of things to consider in like in-person events, especially now post covid uh state of emergency restrictions.

C

um This is a event that's being held by the city of Daly City right here it's called aapi. That's that's happening. May 13th, like the king, Bowl area,.

C

um And it's like from two to six: it's more of like a festival, atmosphere with booths live entertainment, Kids, Zone um and I. Guess: they've been they've held this Festival before in the um it was formerly known as Asian American cultural festival and so they're. Holding this it's May, 13th I think that's uh like Mother's Day weekend so I mean there's a lot of opportunities to Showcase.

C

You know how the city can support um lots of ideas such as like, like a festival like this culture, performance, calligraphy workshops, psychodynamic food festival, historical presentations, t-classes, art exhibitions, children's book readings, tea tasting, maybe like a Buffet sampling. You know lots of ideas, um but you know it's really up to the community to Define like what would make sense. What would um capture the spirit here uh here of our aapi community here in Brisbane, and that's it. We were thinking in terms of timing.

C

um If people are interested the best they might be May 20th, which is a Saturday and because it's between, like Memorial Day and like Mother's Day weekend, but at the same time that evening and then the following Sunday there's a bgw theater program at 3 30. So maybe earlier in the day.

C

um My daughter's that's my daughter's in that theater performance.

C

Jamie and the Giants.

C

So that's going to be like 3 30. I'm, not really sure what that entails in terms of I'll be there, but um in terms of like BTW families and stuff, like that, but I. Think given the time frame, late May might be a good question.

C

It's a good month to play.

D

So Ingrid, um you know all those uh things that she read like you know, tea tasting and all that is that are those just ideas or is that what's happening here? uh Those.

C

Are just ideas that people have said about like one of the more popular best uh face to in-person events or to celebrate aapi History Month yeah, just things from research, okay, but this is um this is what Daly City is doing, and they have here like some of the booths and Kid Zone and looks like so. This is more like a festival. Atmosphere I've never been to it, um but maybe this year will be the first would.

D

That be interesting because I mean I've gone here, numerous times with my family, like bowling, but I'm and I'm, trying to Envision what kind of a festival would look like if it's.

C

In there right, it's so packed right. The parking situation.

C

Yeah so yeah I mean I'm I'm curious about that too, like how they could hold the event there, but um right foreign.

C

Have no budget, but if there's ever a need, we can make a request either through the city, manager's office or city council.

C

And there'll be support with the park and rec staff. um We did kind of ask park and rec what facilities are available and right now the only facility is the Gazebo under you know. The gazebo in the park, because Mission boo is um in the community center under the old library, is already taken.

G

C

A

C

Recreation also would be the ones if we wanted their assistance with tables and papers and um pop-ups.

E

So they could help just need to know how many per month.

F

But you could have money for us.

C

um In terms of like they have staff, um they have uh coordinators and resources.

D

C

The youth advisory committee.

B

C

B

We you think that we, if we made a request for money, we would get like I just is this supposed to be a free event.

E

B

When I think of like the scale and the scope right, I'm just trying to engage like, is this something where we have caters.

A

E

Something where.

B

Like volunteer or I, don't even know about, like can volunteers bring food coupons like this like? What um so is the is it like, uh and maybe we just we haven't thought about it yet so either the way but I'm just curious. If we're thinking of it doesn't like invitation for aapa members of the community to share their culture or for us to like pay money to bring something in does.

C

That make sense yeah.

E

To Showcase already yeah, the first option might be more.

C

About where they guess or the first of that, to keep it smaller, but that there could be a stipend for uh maybe local performers or artists, but maybe there should be I, don't know like a call for participation that could be or to get us started in terms of we're putting this out, we want to do something to celebrate API month, I.

D

Mean right off the top of my head, I'm thinking like Chef Marina, learn.

F

Goal seven mile.

C

They would yeah be that they could donate something or.

F

Write more food.

A

E

C

Oh there's also like a local Tahitian group um that would might be open. They did the aapi vigil the like a closing ceremonies screen. They also do like stay in the park. They do so they're very involved in the community, so it can also invite them to represent the Pacific Islander community yeah. Maybe we can like do a little bit of both I can buy a certain groups that we know and we've partnered with before and then also open. It.

E

Up see if anyone either can be um several.

C

Like dances, different cultural lessons,.

E

We only have one month to prepare.

F

E

C

G

C

D

I mean most troops should have a routine I mean. It depends, who you hire. I guess, like I'm sure that Tahitian people have their routine already said.

C

Yeah actually they're having a showcase like later this month,.

C

For something yeah, but maybe there are people that have cultural dance like experience and he said, fan dance thing earlier, but maybe like they have done it and wouldn't want to just maybe they still have their outfit.

E

And they want to say yes.

F

D

If the Gazebo is the only um space available like how many potential vendors or people would that accommodate um that could really.

G

Impact like you.

D

Know what we can do in terms of inviting.

C

Super gazebo, as like the station people were, will be kind of in the graph and, like kind of like how um have you been here for concerts in the park or gone where the van is under the Gazebo and there's people in the grass area. Yeah.

D

Okay, so that that whole.

C

It's actually where the um preschoolers did their lion dancing. They invited the family to meet at the park and then they use that hole under the Gazebo area for yeah.

C

We do a call to artists for artists, it'll be what two weeks or one week, maybe just we're.

E

Doing this Friday, it's.

C

E

Could put something together as soon as Friday leave it out for.

C

E

Over some Friday.

C

And I'll be the 21st till the 28th and then should the group meet again to select the artists.

B

It's a summary that the Events book committee would do.

G

E

That makes sense.

E

You're, the only one because.

C

We have an events committee. Those are the only two subcommittees that we have um mangesh is in the policy committee. He's not here right now, so Ashley and you have to choose, or you.

E

C

um But you have the opportunity to um select one to do the to do the work. So that's why we like make it more efficient to like make it into the subcommittee. So we can yeah yeah.

C

Well, I have two potentials: I was just thinking um two of my colleagues who might be able to help us out or lower budget.

D

um Though they are based in San Francisco, one is um uh kalahatsu Sensei or Sensei kohatsu, who is the Minister of Concord Church in Japantown? um It's a really very nice.

C

D

It's kind of it, they talk about appreciating nature and people that are very, you know nice Church community, and he he teaches calligraphy, um and uh you know he um had recently had a battle with prostate cancer, and uh you.

C

Know had you know had made it out of that and.

D

uh Basically, you know he has a very nice uh story and he has a book called arigato.

C

A thousand times a day or saying.

G

Thank you a.

C

Thousand times a day, and so he's been doing, book, signings and I know that he's low budget. So um you know that might be an option and.

D

Then another one would be.

D

I think is her name um and she is a lady who's, a harpist and she leads a meditation.

C

For the Brahma Kumari Center, which is uh Indian, but she is a Japanese, so um so would be kind of a nice fusion um and she could, you know, maybe come out and play the heart and- and she looks like uh you know very nice- just beautiful Melody and we've had her play for our events before.

E

C

So um yeah that was a good lead, yeah.

F

And then there.

C

Would be they would be affordable too. I know that they've done it on like a smaller stipend, so um so yeah just thinking.

D

About what what might fit for you guys and you know and then add to you- know our our Brisbane aapi Community, you know I think they should have them place.

G

C

E

Great yeah, okay, be in touch and reach out.

C

Yeah just wanted to put that out there for the date for the date and time, hopefully.

E

C

Are available yeah, that's the most important thing like this is happening. Definitely is really lots of holidays and I guess. Graduation. Some graduations are also around that time too. So, hopefully, you've been getting people's power in there. Oh yeah, bigger.

F

E

Do we still have water frame? Yes,.

A

E

You bring that back out.

E

We had a hashtag that was born on.

C

Stay in the park or actually um I think it was Christian that thought of it and he was on the committee and he thought hashtag we are Brisbane and then we had it on the bottom of a photo frame and people took pictures with it at day in the park.

C

B

C

That's a good point because I think a lot of the the whole discussion about having a welcoming atmosphere. Can it be like a series like we are Brisbane and this is aapi heritage month and then we are Brisbane and whatever the next one is like it could be a good series, it's cute, so it's not like so people don't feel like it's an isolate. You.

G

C

Dividing event: it's a way to kind of bring everybody together. They have it on the frame too. Maybe our first payment in like something.

B

C

B

Know if I make some kind of graphic but yeah to have that.

C

Yeah, that's easy to apply and kind of represents.

F

E

Could make anything yeah.

C

Right help to make some idea committee stickers, yeah and bring those back out when we did the tabling. Our idea was to like have childhood snacks, like our children's decks, reflected on like the giveaways you have, but we didn't anticipate, actually children being the ones.

E

That are getting all the stuff. You thought it would be. Adults, friends.

E

C

We were ahead, but.

G

C

Yeah, maybe some others things to the get the older people.

F

Yeah fun times.

C

um So what dates are we looking at if we do have like a.

E

Week, the 27th.

C

The Saturday, the 20th.

E

I think that might be.

B

29. yeah yeah and Mother's Day, the 14th.

C

Yeah I'm, sorry out of town.

C

Yeah I think it'll be up to us to kind of advertise with our neighbors there's, maybe uh Undercover cultural.

E

Dancers out there you.

C

Know, and really we got to like really, you know- be the kind of uh people to motivate people to enter the cultural artists. You're gonna be out of town.

E

That whole week.

E

Let's see if I can think of anyone to ask about them: yeah some cultural dances.

C

Thank you, or um for Asian, like Asian, owned businesses, um should we also reach out to them yeah or a lot like cooking.

E

C

I, don't think they can sell food right unless it's.

E

The main thing.

C

Yeah donate food, yeah I can ask park and rec, but more like it was going to be like a cooking demonstration or something probably kind.

F

C

E

C

We do have the online Farmers Market vendor, who is a Japanese noodle, who he actually hasn't been in Brisbane lately because of a lower sales. But.

B

Maybe if it's a one day event.

C

In the park where.

E

um Yeah he could be doing.

C

A cooking demo and Richard you might be open to that. No, how about if there's like a no fire I, wonder if there's anything here, I'll ask if there's any requirements or restrictions around that: okay.

B

Or could you set up like I guess my question is around: um if can you do, could you do like a potluck and have community members bring stuff to share or if they're like issues around serving food that is in authorized or late.

A

B

I, just don't know about like people and then like with someone. That's.

C

Sick yeah I know we don't want to be liable for anything. Anything like that. um I'll ask I, have not seen any potluck I haven't I haven't either I've heard the idea come forth and it's a great sounding idea for people share their cultures with food like that, but yeah, it's always been pretty much scared or what about a based, a baked good sale like?

C

Can you do that, like I'm, just thinking because, like CLT Chef, Reina, Seven Mile, they all have really good desserts I feel like a baked good sale would be safe and also help them save money or raise money. If they wanna I, don't know I, don't know again. If that is be.

E

C

For people to sell their baked goods, yeah yeah.

E

Like a baked good sale, yeah.

C

I don't know well if I think if it's I have to ask also the the restrictions around um smelling food, because I.

D

Can see that I could see bl3 Seven, Mile and Chef Arena like battling.

C

It out being like you know like who can make them very soft, baked sailing.

F

F

C

I don't know if they would make.

C

That make it like a game but, like you know, maybe like once they reach a milestone. You know they can put a sticker or something I. Don't know. I just yeah like Seven Mile House says that they do it that they vote yeah. They like have a ticket. You taste test everything and then you vote for your favorite part.

F

B

Wonder if we could like buy them and rather than asking people to pay because I would I don't know that seems a little weird like going to the park and then be like these reviews. Thanks for purchase.

B

But I think I love the idea of like making little friendly competition. You know like maybe with the ticket or something yeah.

C

That's a good idea was there? um Was there also like an AP run business in the farmer's market? Like a skincare, um oh yeah, she was there for a couple weeks.

C

um It's a Distillery, Daisy Distillery, oh no refillery.

C

Yeah, it's a sustainable business where she doesn't have a lot of like packaging. You bring back your bottle of empty like some or lotions or cleaning and the eyes, and she refills it yeah. Maybe she can do a demo.

C

It seems like there is a process that you go yeah. She shows people how it works.

E

C

Might be great too Daisy, Distillery yeah, no.

E

C

Maybe we should tell.

E

Her about that for her next business laughs.

E

F

C

Okay and then to the next, um the next subcommittee meeting for events would be when next, the Wednesday after the 28th, what.

G

C

That, okay, what um comes forward to the call for artists? And then we could be the deciding.

E

Yeah Wednesday May 3rd, that.

C

E

E

C

Same time, six yeah, okay, perfect.

E

I, like that bake sale, idea that.

C

B

Scout is selling cookies.

F

C

Saw all the drivers.

F

F

B

C

How about the idea, though, like people want to participate but they're, not Asian owned, like how out of like Melissa's Taqueria comes up, for example, with like a Asian inspired dessert or something like that, I mean would be would be. Would it be open to something.

E

F

Okay, yeah talk.

C

And advertise it to all the businesses they want to participate. Yeah.

D

And just do like an Asian inspired, PayPal yeah.

C

B

B

My husband had this whole, like idea of like scrambled eggs and stuff.

F

Isn't that, like a breakfast burrito.

G

E

Yeah I did at 10 A.M.

B

um Is that something that there's there's like a there's? A chamber of commerce or some sort of like business, something yeah.

G

Business thing is that something that we can like.

B

Leverage connections.

C

Once we have a flyer and date and everything, maybe even the call for well, let's see.

E

A two-hour event we're okay with it.

C

Yeah yeah, okay, so hopefully like. Let's say um how many so like, let's say, 10 minutes or whatever per group so like at least 12 hoping for people who apply. Do you think we have to rejection reality.

F

C

G

C

Most of what happens, they'll come up with some guidelines, maybe to like, like make the decision. Okay sounds good and then um so we won't be meeting as a oh. We will be meeting as a group like for the Wednesday before it was day before. There's a is that okay for folks, um okay, understand.

E

A

C

Guys want to talk about like fly or design or just want to leave it to us to design something put.

E

Something else.

F

C

That would be the deadline for um the call for artists I'm thinking that 28th they had a week. What's the maybe should we should do like May 1st May 1st yeah.

F

G

Yeah, it's easy.

C

To remember, you came over the weekend, yeah yeah. We could like call folks or encourage more people. Yeah.

D

C

D

I'll call like um like an email, or does this come out like in a newsletter or what? What are the we're.

C

Gonna, do everything we're gonna? Do we have a weekly Friday blast.

B

Okay, um we have our social media sites on our website.

E

And we'll see it all excellent.

C

Signboards, oh.

A

E

C

So posters, our Flyers, oh yeah, definitely a Google, and then we can have that be part of the report. The staff report to show who actually okay.

B

Do you think the library would want to like serious collection of.

C

Like children's books or something that we could show yeah.

C

They have done that with um when we've developed a farmer's market, they've put together like book bundles to go and people wanted to grab from our table when we were there, for we did one for pride month. We did one for I think um black history month, but they yeah curated books.

A

For us to take to the park yeah so.

B

I think that's because I do I feel like from 10 to noon. It's a very popular part-time, like you know, every time that um we bring Rosie to the playground. There's like um we're, not the only ones there. So maybe it would be if there's like a welcoming people that might not even be planning on coming.

E

F

Job very strategic.

B

And then I guess do you we need. We need to see, though, if anyone is like reserved that backspace for, like.

C

A party or something what would that be about the backspace for, like.

B

Where they, whenever they set up like the bounce houses and stuff.

A

C

The grass space yeah yeah.

E

C

I guess if they are.

E

Playing music or something.

C

B

Would kind of we can check to see it from Disney, because I think that happens right.

C

Yeah yeah a reservator and will that bother like partygoers.

C

Well, they can let people know if they inquire about 2020.

C

E

Do you like to proceed because.

F

Like people like pinatas,.

C

The gazebo, okay and it'll be a quick event. Yeah.

E

A

C

I can do a demonstration, or you know we can always do a little class as well all right nice did you like fall volunteers to join me.

D

Yeah, usually um so I do it a few different ways: I mean I.

C

Could either just do like a demonstration where it's just like myself um and then I've also done like events for like, like the SF Public.

D

Utilities Commission or like um the.

C

Human Services Agency, where we, you know just kind of have like a mini group thing and it's like okay, we're gonna, have like a you, know, Tai Chi workshop and then um whoever wants to come down. We do some exercises and then we'll learn like the first couple movements just a little bit of Tai Chi movement, so that you know.

E

We could do a workshop like that, or we could just you know, have something nice for.

C

Like 10 or 15 minutes and I can get you know to my nice top and do a you know some sort demonstration or something like that. Oh.

A

C

Think it'll be really kind of cute. If you wanted to ask any volunteers or like younger particular.

G

C

To join you under the Gazebo sure we could do uh you know I I. Do this thing with the kids, where I have them break up a board.

E

C

You know so so I could do something like that, which.

D

Is pretty fun always.

C

Nice for crowds, yeah, yeah yeah, it's it's fun for.

G

The kids too so.

C

Yeah, so that's an option. You could do a little like we could do a little demonstration in afterwards if you've got the kids like come up and do something like that. Volunteers.

F

Very cool: that's cute I, like that.

C

We'll probably need a sheet of all the volunteers that we'll need for the day, so we'll probably call and plug people in somehow some way and we'll try to determine that at the subcommittee meeting after we select the artists.

E

D

You know AAP Island fishing show I, don't know.

C

So is it gonna be like, are you doing performances and then we'll have food, or is it just performances or is it true yeah.

E

C

C

Well, yeah, it depends on the I. Don't know people are in the interest. Yeah.

E
