A
Good
evening,
I'm,
mayor,
Sandra,
James
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
you
this
evening
on
behalf
of
the
City
Council.
This
is
a
very
special
evening
for
us.
We
hope
to
make
it
a
very
special
evening
for
you.
This
is
an
evening
that
the
city
presents
the
crest
Awards,
which
stands
for
Cupertino,
recognizes
extra
steps
taken
and
I'll.
Tell
you
what
that's
all
about.
It's
really
our
opportunity
to
recognize
those
people
that
volunteer
their
time
in
our
city
and
I've
talked
this
year.
A
lot
about
partnerships
as
the
mayor
that
that's
that's.
A
Mr
McKay
just
said
to
me
sandy,
there's
nothing
special
about
me.
I
just
do
what
a
lot
of
other
people
do.
Well,
I
suppose
you
do
do
what
a
lot
of
other
people
do
all
of
you,
but
you
are
mentors
and
role
models
and
examples
for
the
rest
of
the
community
of
how
you
have
entrenched
your
own
lives
by
becoming
active
in
the
community
and
therefore
enriched
others,
and
so
we
are
here
this
evening
to
honor.
A
You
and
to
award
you
an
award
from
our
city
the
process
tonight,
because
we
are
being
taped
and
we
will
be
on
cable
TV
many
times
during
the
year.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
you
are
seen
or
heard
so.
The
process
will
be
that
that
my
fellow
councilmember
Michael
Chang,
who
I
will
introduce
in
a
moment
or
two
and
I,
will
be
presenting
the
awards.
A
We
will
name
the
recipient
and
ask
you
to
remain
seated
while
we
show
a
video
clip
of
all
your
accomplishments
so
that
you
can
watch
that
and
then
I'll
ask
you
to
come
forward
and
stand
here
next
to
me
and
I
will
give
you
your
award
and
also
supervisor
Liz
Ness
has
a
proclamation
in
your
honor
that
goes
with
your
award.
So
we
are
going
to
start
this
evening
with
our
first
recipient,
which
is
Diana
our
Bart
argabright,
and
if
the
video
can
go
I.
B
D
C
The
past
12
years,
diana
has
served
as
director
of
the
arts
and
schools
program
at
the
U
frat
Museum
of
Art
on
the
De
Anza
College
campus,
her
position
as
part-time,
but
the
hours
she
puts
in
add
up
to
much
more.
Besides
leading
teaching
tours
of
the
museum.
Diana
runs
after
school
and
summer
arts
programs
that
involved
22,000
student
hours.
She
organizes
community
events,
public
art
projects,
mentors
teachers
and
helps
curate.
You
frat
exhibits,
so.
D
I
might
be
on
the
phone
making
sure
I've
got.
You
know.
37
people
set
up
for
family
day
designing
the
booth.
You
know
the
hands-on
activities
talking
to
the
different
performing
groups,
making
sure
that
they
have
what
they
need.
You
know
to
come
here
and
prove
hiring
people
ahead
for
a
giant
summer
program,
so
it
might
be
interviewing
potential
artists
for
positions,
teachers,
choosing-choosing,
children's
artwork,
for
exhibitions
on
and
on
and
on.
Why.
D
So
when
you
teach
kids,
creative
thinking,
which
is
what
art
does
it
lends
itself
to
every
other
subject,
and
it
doesn't
matter
what
they're
going
to
be
when
they
grow
up.
If
they've
learned
to
be
confident
in
the
fact
that
they
were
born
with
this
wonderful
brain
and
this
wonderful
heart,
they
can,
they
can
go
anywhere
in
their
life
and
have
confidence
in
themselves.
Her.
C
B
A
The
most
about
Diana
is
that
she
is
a
perfect
example
of
how
art
and
the
arts
in
general
reach
across
cultures
across
ages
across
dialects
and
energies,
because
it
comes
right
directly
to
your
heart,
into
your
soul
and
I
think.
Therefore,
she
has
really
spread
herself
amongst
this
community
and
amongst
generations
and
generations
of
people
and
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
Cupertino
I.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we
honor
you
tonight.
Thank
you.
A
Speaking
of
honour,
I
am
very
honored
to
introduce
to
you
a
fellow
council
person
that
I
have
worked
with
not
only
on
the
city
council
but
on
the
Cupertino
school
board.
So
Michael
and
I
go
back
a
long
way
and
I
know
that
he
believes
very
strongly
in
community
activism
as
well
as
in
education
issues.
He
is
a
teacher
at
De,
Anza
College,
a
former
mayor
and
my
colleague
on
the
City
Council.
Please
welcome
dr.
Michael
Chang.
E
Thanks
so
much
sandy,
this
is
we
do
a
lot
of
things
on
council,
but
this
has
to
be
one
of
the
most
enjoyable
and
fun
things
that
as
council
members
have
to
do
each
year
and
I
think
this
must
be.
My
I
lose
count
after
for
you.
This
must
be
the
sixth
time
that
we're
up
here
doing
this,
but
each
year
is
so
enjoyable
and
it's
a
real
honor
that
I
have
a
free
persons
and
groups
that
I
will
be
giving
awards
to.
The
first
is
a
group.
B
C
F
Program
is
a
one
on
one
case,
managed
program.
It's
very
small.
We
only
house
fifteen
guys
at
a
time,
but
we're
able
to
actually
resource
them
with
all
kinds
of
things
from
the
community
and
from
Cupertino
Community
Services
who
administer
our
program
and
then,
of
course
the
one-on-one
case
management
is,
you
know,
key
I,
think
to
the
success
of
our
guests.
C
Last
year,
the
faith
and
action
project
took
in
a
total
of
94
homeless
men
who
were
referred
by
CCS
to
be
recommended
for
the
program.
The
men
must
be
able
and
willing
to
work.
They
must
also
sign
a
contract
agreeing
to
remain
clean
and
sober,
attend
support
meetings
and
meet
regularly
with
a
case
manager
to
track
the
progress
in
their
search
for
employment,
while
pursuing
their
plan
to
find
work.
The
men
need
to
be
housed
and
fed,
and
this
is
where
community
volunteers
come
in.
We.
F
Have
12
host
churches
and
we
have
about
six
or
eight
other
churches
who
are
helping
churches
who
provide
dinners
and
donations
to
the
program
and
just
support
for
the
program.
The
twelve
host
churches
host
once
a
month
and
each
month
the
shelter
moves
to
a
different
Church
so
that
no
one
Church,
you
know,
bears
the
burden
of
the
of
the
housing.
The
whole
time
also.
C
F
Know
we
have
the
best
cooks
in
town
and
these
people
love
to
cook
for
these
guys
because
they're
so
appreciative,
and
so
a
lot
of
our
volunteers
are
cooks,
but
the
volunteers
who
come
and
visit
just
like
to
hang
out
with
these
guys
they're
great
company.
You
know
they're
very
interesting.
You
will
meet
every
type
of
person
that
you
could
Kathy.
C
F
Of
our
overnight
supervisors
right
now
are
graduates
of
our
program
and
they
are
very
dedicated
and
I
think
that
that
you
know
that
they
want
to
give
back
and
they
they
feel
like
it's.
You
know
that
this
is
a
program,
that's
changed
their
lives
and
they
want
to
be
there
to.
You
know,
help
somebody
else
out.
You
know
I
can't
even
describe
you
know
some
of
the
stories
that
we
hear
and
just
you
know
how
great
it
is
and
how
how
much
it's
changed
people's
lives,
and
you
know.
F
E
E
They
put
people
together,
it's
a
collaborative
effort,
they
cook
meals
and
while
it's
probably
easy
enough
to
buy
meals-
and
it's
certainly
much
easier
to
serve
it-
that
way,
I
think
the
kind
of
humanity
and
the
kind
of
love
that
they
share
by
cooking
those
meals
and
working
on
this
project
on
a
consistent
basis
through
such
a
long
time
speaks
volume
of
all
the
volunteers
and
especially
also
on
the
board
that
has
really
supported
this
project.
So
it's
a
real
pleasure
to
give
our
kress
award
to
faith
in
action
with
a
representative.
Please
come
up.

Put
out
the
books
and
then
I'm
at
the
sale,
I'm
a
cashier
and
on
Saturday
we
work
from
9:00
to
3:00
to
4:00
and
I
gently
bring
egg
salad,
sandwiches
for
Lois
and
me
and
a
couple
extras
in
case.
Someone
wants
a
sandwich
on
Sunday
I
work
from
12:00
to
3:00
and
I
stay
all
timed
I
just
stopped,
but
on
Saturday
just
to
eat
a
sandwich.
G
G
I
go
to
my
luncheons
everybody
thanks
to
me
for
the
the
cards,
because
they
say
I'm
the
only
one
that
they
can
depend
on
getting
some
kind
of
a
card
instead
of
a
bill
and
I
really
I
think
it's
I
enjoy
it
more
so
than
they
do.
I
really
think
that
so
I
buy
my
cards
from
one
year
to
the
other
in
case
I'm,
too
sick
to
go
to
the
store
or
someone
to
take
me
to
the
store
to
buy
them.
So
I'm
always
a
year
ahead.
Reach.
E
Was
just
thinking
when
I
met
Peggy
I
think
that
she's
inspirational
for
us
all
for
a
number
of
reasons
inspires
us
to
live
to
88
and
to
look
on
to
a
hundred
to
also
look
so
good,
so
youthful
so
energetic
she
has
anybody
collected
ever
collected
money
for
cause.
You
know
how
chaotic
it
is
you
know,
and
to
do
the
collection
for
the
library
in
the
book
sale
each
year
and
to
handle
that
that's
a
really
big
job.
E
E
C
Active
community
volunteer,
put
in
more
than
500
hours
last
year
for
De
Anza
colleges,
Flint
Center,
where
she's
been
performing
as
an
outstanding
volunteer
for
the
past
20
years.
But
that's
only
one
of
many
ways
she
chooses
to
make
herself
useful
in
the
community.
Joe's
also
been
a
volunteer
for
the
Cupertino
Senior
Center
for
15
years
and
for
the
De
Anza
History
Center
for
10
years.
I.
C
Often
takes
her
volunteer
show
on
the
road
helping
out
the
Allied
Arts
program
in
Menlo
Park
and
working
as
an
usher
at
the
Mountain
View
Center
for
the
Performing
Arts.
She
also
worked
for
several
years
at
the
village
house
in
los
gatos,
a
little
restaurant
that
benefitted
the
mean
Quang
Children's
Society,
wherever
she
finds
herself,
though,
people
see
her
as
the
helpful,
warm
and
friendly
person.
She
is
the
person
with
a
heart
as
big
as
her
native
state
of
Texas.
A
lot.
I
C
I
C
C
I
E
Let's
see
20
years
at
the
Flint
center
15
years,
Cupertino
Senior,
Center,
10
years,
volunteering
at
a
DeAnza
History
Center,
let's
see
8
years
and
for
the
village
house
in
Los,
Altos,
Los
Gatos.
Oh,
it's
typo
here
Allied
Arts
in
Menlo
Park
for
10
years,
Mountain,
View
Centre
for
the
Performing
Arts
for
5
years,
and
she
says
she
hasn't
done
much
Joe
you're,
a
real
inspiration
for
us
all.
E
E
C
J
C
J
C
J
Do
is
I'm
a
Gleaner
which
means
that
I
pick
up
food
from
a
designated
market
or
store
and
bring
it
in
and
I'm
I'm
really
just
part
of
it.
A
wheel
and
I'm
just
a
spoke
in
that
wheel.
It's
the
kind
of
work
that
I
like
to
do.
I,
like
interaction
with
people,
I
like
to
make
new
friends
I
like
to
see
people
I
like
new
challenges.
J
J
B
B
A
Know
we
are
very
fortunate
to
have
a
facility
like
Flint
Center
in
the
middle
of
our
city
and
Paula
Davis
was
here
this
evening,
doesn't
outstanding
job
of
managing
it.
In
addition
to
that,
she
is
very
active
in
the
community
and
all
the
other
areas
and
CCS
on
the
chamber
board,
and
that
is
why
people
like
Ken
are
so
willing
and
so
comfortable
working
in
those
facilities
and
volunteering
their
time,
and
it's
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
makes
this
city
very.
A
A
K
I
really
really
think
it's
important
for
people
to
understand
that
when
you
make
a
difference
to
one
person,
you
make
a
difference
and
volunteer
work
does
not
have
to
mean
raising
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
at
an
event.
It
can
mean
just
giving
a
few
hours
a
week
to
make
somebody's
life
a
little
bit
happier
sandy.
C
Xander's
volunteer
work
covers
both
ends
of
the
spectrum.
She's
been
a
major
fundraiser
for
the
Cupertino
educational
endowment
fund,
Seif
for
the
past
seven
years
and
she's
been
a
friend
to
those
in
need
for
as
long
as
anyone
can
remember,
Seif
is
the
fundraising
arm
for
the
cupertino
Union
School
District.
The
group
is
close
to
Sandy's
heart
because,
as
a
former
teacher,
she
says
it
directly
benefits
cupertino
students
by
making
various
programs
available
in
the
schools.
This.
K
The
big
push
in
the
school's,
obviously
for
the
past
number
of
years,
has
been
keeping
up
with
technology
and
it's
going
to
be
a
constant,
ongoing
expense
because
you're
never
up
to
date.
The
other
thing
that
Seif
has
always
been
very,
very
proud
of,
is
we
don't
just
buy
the
equipment
and
drop
it
off
at
the
schools
and
say
here
it
is.
This
is
our
gift
to
you.
K
C
Sponsors
to
big
fundraisers
every
year,
a
spring
golf
tournament
and
a
fall
gala
sandy
has
poured
countless
volunteer
hours
into
both
of
these
events,
tapping
into
her
considerable
decorating
skills
and
her
amazing
store
of
energy
and
enthusiasm.
Last
year,
her
efforts
and
those
of
other
volunteers,
knitted
$165,000,
which
Seif
made
available
to
local
schools,
I've.
K
K
Was
working
at
the
auction
there's
700
people
and
I'm
all
the
way
over
on
one
side
of
the
room
and
the
bidding
starts,
and
it's
$1,000
$1,500,
two
thousand
twenty
one
hundred
twenty,
two
and
I'm
thinking
to
myself
are
these
people
nuts
they're
paying
for
a
dog?
And
it
finally
goes
to
$2,400?
The
dog
is
sold
and
I
look
over
and
there
is
my
husband
signing
the
credit
card
slip.
So
we
came
home
with
the
most
expensive
dog
in
cupertino
for.
C
K
I
try
to
get
volunteers
for
something
and
people
say:
I
don't
have
time
to
do
it
I
say:
okay!
Well,
let
me
give
you
some
choices
of
things
that
you
can
do
that
take
very
little
time,
send
in
a
case
of
soda
and
make
20
phone
calls
for
me
that
that
who
can
say
no
to
that,
so
everybody
has
time
to
do
a
little
something.
A
I've
known
sandy
forever
I
think
we
raised
our
kids
together.
Her
daughter
and
my
son
went
to
school
together,
so
we've
shared
the
tears
and
the
joys
and
the
passions
of
motherhood
and
I
think
everywhere.
I
go
in
the
city,
I
run
into
her.
We
have
worked
on
so
many
things
together,
she's.
The
perfect
example
to
me
of
someone
who
blends
all
the
different
avenues
of
her
life
I
have
so
much
respect
for
the
fact
that
she
practices
her
faith
and
everything
she
does.
A
But
she
is
really
a
mirror
for
all
of
us
of
how
you
can
pull
it
all
together
and
share
it
with
the
rest
of
the
world
in
a
very
positive
way.
She
has
been
instrumental
in
doing
all
kinds
of
things
for
educational
community
sharing
her
professional
expertise
such
as
her
own
business,
had
her
own
business
and
and
has
helped
all
of
our
schools
learn
how
to
make
these
wonderful
baskets,
which
have
now
become
very
competitive
and
the
auction
at
the
seefox
and
they're
gorgeous,
and
what
I
like
the
most
admire.

I've
never
met
some
of
these
fine
people
and
I
haven't
been
fed
this
great
since
I
leave
it
at
home.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
very
much
and
verse.
Answereth
don't
bother
my
heart.
This
has
been
wonderful,
so
god
bless
you
people
and
we're
not
all
just
homeless
and
bums
off
the
street.
You
know
we're
out
there
working
people
and
stuff
so
as
well
as
Chellis,
an
interim
thing
and
hopefully
someday
I'll,
be
able
to
come
back
and
get
back
to
at
least
one
of
these
churches
that
have
helped
me
and.

We
are
because
of
that
we
are
honoring
them
tonight
and
their
families,
who
are
here
by
the
way
and
congratulating
them,
we're
going
to
have
a
reception
right
after
this.
Please
everybody
join
us
for
that
in
the
foyer.

I
want
to
thank
the
video
crew.
We
have
a
very
talented
video
crew
that
does
this
heat
and
Ray

Lisa

Rick
Kitson,

do.
So.
Thank
