B
To
thank
you
all
for
coming
tonight.
Welcome
to
the
crest
Awards
for
2009,
a
pleasure
to
see
everybody
here
and
to
recognize
some
wonderful
people
in
our
community.
It
was
a
Marian
Wright,
Edelman
said
service
to
others.
Is
the
price
you
pay
for
living
on
the
planet,
I
think
it's
more
than
that
as
well.
It's
certainly
that,
but
in
it
that
it's
service
to
others
is
what
makes
a
city
a
community
and
service
to
others
is
how
we
achieve
our
highest
humanity
and
our
greatest
satisfactions.
B
B
B
The
people
in
this
room
understand
this
and
they
understand
the
secret
that
the
quality
of
life
is
really
determined
by
your
ability
to
give
to
other
people.
It's
what
makes
us
truly
human.
They
understand
what
Mother
Teresa
had
in
mind
once
when
a
reporter
said
to
her.
You
know
mother,
Teresa
I
wouldn't
do
what
you
do
for
a
million
dollars
and
mother
Teresa
turned
to
her
and
said
neither
would
I
and
now
it's
my
honor
to
introduce
a
man
who
has
given
his
life
to
service.
B
C
Actually
we'll
find
out
in
a
minute
I'm,
not
the
last
guy
anymore,
but
I'll
save
that
for
a
minute
from
now
you
know,
as
a
council
member,
this
is
one
of
the
the
most
fun
and
rewarding
things
we
get
to
do
all
year.
In
order
to
keep
us
fresh
tonight,
we
actually
adjourned
the
meeting
early
last
night,
our
council
meeting
at
11:30.
So
you
know
just
to
let
you
know
that
we
wanted
it.
We
we
had
that
in
mind.
C
I
think
you
know
some
of
you
that
saw
the
state
of
the
city
where
I
talked
about
what
makes
a
great
city
and
some
of
the
five
attributes
one
at
one
of
those
key
attributes
is
leadership
and
its
leadership
beyond
the
government.
Its
leadership
throughout
the
community
and
today
I
have
the
pleasure
of
actually
being
at
two
events
that
really
demonstrate
that
earlier
today,
there's
a
new
program
that
the
park
and
recs
department
is
putting
on
a
leaders
in
training
program
for
the
youth
of
the
community.
C
Teenagers
and
I
had
a
chance,
along
with
one
of
the
other
staff
members
to
just
do
an
interactive
session
where
we
kind
of
talked
about
leadership,
and
you
know
what
a
pleasure
it
is
to
see
young
people
just
starting
out
interested
in
leadership
interested
in
and
giving
back
to
the
community.
And,
of
course
tonight
we
have.
You
know
just
a
broad
array
of
demonstrating
leadership
and
in
all
areas
of
the
community.
So
it's
it's
great
to
see
that
leadership.
C
D
If
there's
a
festival
in
town-
and
there
usually
is-
you
can
bet-
Tom
Dyer
has
a
hand
in
it.
This
friendly
industrious
volunteer
doesn't
limit
his
involvement
to
any
particular
group
or
activity.
He
spreads
a
wealth
of
contributions
across
the
entire
community.
He
works
tirelessly
on
Cupertino
small
festival
planning
the
layout
in
helping
to
arrange
logistics,
he's
also
lent
his
expertise
to
the
annual
festival
hosted
by
the
organization
of
special
needs,
families
and
pitched
in
for
the
Chamber
of
Commerce's
Diwali
festival
lights
and
for
the
Lunar
New
Year
parade
in
festival.
D
Tom
is
known
for
his
ability
to
bring
people
together
and
inspire
them
to
action.
This
is
evident
in
his
effort
to
create
a
community
vision
for
the
Stockholm
ire
property,
an
active
member
of
the
Rotary
Club.
He
leads
by
example,
always
helping
with
service
projects
such
as
the
blackberry
farm
renovation,
which
required
everything
from
building
benches
to
installing
the
children's
playground
and
when
the
rebuilding
Together
project
recently
zeroed
in
on
the
home
of
an
elderly
Cupertino
resident
Tom
was
there
to
help,
make
needed,
repairs
and
beautify
the
landscaping
whatever
the
occasion
or
activity.
C
C
C
Therefore,
I
passing
the
responsibility
to
Tom
and-
and
that
was
the
start
of
a
great
partnership.
Tom
and
I
worked
on
countless
I,
can't
even
think
of
how
many
festivals
and
other
projects
over
the
past
years.
You
know
in
rotary
outside
a
rotary
or
whatever.
So
tom
is
the
go-to
guy.
If
you
need
something
anything
to
be
done,
he
has
like
Carolyn's
out
there,
my
wife,
he
has
the
same
problem.
I
do
he
doesn't
know
how
to
say
no,
but
that's
a
great
trait
to
have
and
in
a
community
volunteer.
C
Starting
with
a
nice
starting
with
a
nice
plaque,
and
then
we
have
certificates
from
Congressman
Mike,
Honda,
State,
Senator,
Joe,
submitting
Assemblyman,
Paul,
Fong
and
supervisor
live
with
us
so
and
that
your
collection
of
great
things-
and
it's
now,
your
term
that
tell
some
stories
about
us.
Oh
wow,.
E
F
Ride
I
found
myself
in
a
in
a
perfect
galaxy
working
with
rotary,
who
happens
to
believe
in
Service
Above
Self,
but
it
is
real.
That's
not
just
a
label
and
it's
a
lot
of
hands-on
and
we've.
We've
done
a
lot
together
and
we're
going
to
do
a
lot
more.
So
that's
what
it's
all
about,
and
you
know
we
just
look
forward
to
the
next
ones.
Thank
you.
D
For
several
local
service
and
nonprofit
groups,
the
name
Barbara
Jewell
brings
two
words
to
mind:
chair
extraordinaire.
That's
because
Barbara
is
a
downright
diva
when
it
comes
to
special
fundraising
events,
instead
of
simply
delegating
work,
she
gets
involved
in
all
aspects
of
an
event
from
creating
the
vision
to
selling
the
tickets.
Last
year
for
the
Fremont
Union
High
School
Foundation,
she
chaired
both
the
annual
fall
fundraiser
and
the
9th
annual
crowd
feed.
Her
two
daughters
may
have
graduated
from
mana
Vista
high,
but
Barbara's
attachment
to
the
district
is
ongoing.
D
Today
she
serves
as
an
executive
member
of
the
foundation's
board.
Meanwhile,
she
holds
the
very
appropriate
position
of
social
director
for
the
Cupertino
rotary,
which
means
she
has
a
hand
in
all
the
club's
fundraising
functions.
She
worked
on
last
year's
golf
tournament
and
eastern
elegance
event
and
was
co-chair
for
a
recent
regional
rotary
conference.
If
that's
not
enough,
Barbara
is
a
board
member
for
West
Valley,
Community
Services,
where
she
plays
an
active
role
in
the
yearly
barbecue
she's,
a
major
contributor
to
the
C's
gala
and
yes,
there's
more
she's
expanded.
D
C
So,
yes,
if
you
need
something
built,
Tom
dyers,
the
guy,
if
you
need
something
decorated,
barbarism
is
the
person.
Barb
has
helped
out
in
so
many
ways
in
so
many
community
projects.
But
my
my
best
story
about
Barbra
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
community
project
and
last
year,
based
on
all
her
expertise
and
putting
events
together.
C
G
Well,
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
all
of
you
and
this
community,
because,
without
all
of
your
support,
I
couldn't
have
done
any
of
the
things
that
I
did
a
special.
Thank
you
to
my
family
and
friends
who
I
will
still
continue
to
call
and
ask:
do
you
have
anything
going
so
it's
not
over
and
I'd
like
to.
Thank
you
all,
and
it's
been
a
wonderful
community
and
I'm
grateful
to
have
been
honored.
Thank
you.
H
D
For
frail
and
lonely
homebound
seniors,
a
cheerful
companion
can
be
a
gift
from
heaven.
Seven
such
gifts
appear
each
week
on
the
doorsteps
of
ten
otherwise
isolated
elderly
residents.
The
caller's
are
part
of
the
friendly
visitors
program
from
the
Cupertino
Senior
Center.
They
bring
sunshine
from
the
outside
world
to
one
of
the
most
vulnerable
populations
in
our
community
last
year,
this
dedicated
group
of
volunteers
contributed
more
than
600
hours,
working
with
clients
from
the
senior
centers
case
management
program.
Most
of
their
activities
are
right
in
the
clients
homes.
D
Here,
the
friendly
visitors
play
cards
and
games,
read
books,
play
music
watch
movies
and,
most
importantly,
simply
listen.
The
seven
friendly
visitors
all
lead
busy
lives,
enjoying
a
variety
of
interests
and
hobbies
and
lending
time
to
other
volunteer
efforts
as
well,
but
they
share
two
vital
qualities,
patience
and
understanding
that
helped
them
foster
trust
and
create
bonds
with
their
home
bound
charges,
friendly
visitors,
keep
at-risk
seniors
connected
to
their
community
and
help
them
remain
in
their
home
safely
and
independently
and
along
the
way,
these
caring
callers
become
much
more
than
volunteer
visitors.
H
H
H
As
you
have
heard
from
the
video
the
friendly
visitors
program
volunteers
is
we
actually
require
a
lot
of
patience
and
I
want
to
mention
just
a
little
bit
about
the
challenges
or
frustration
that
they
have
as
as
the
helping
the
homebound
visitors
one
thing
they
they
have
to
deal
with
as
they
sometime
decline,
has
memory
loss,
and
so
the
volunteers
have
needed
to
in
to
introduce
themselves
repeatedly
and
they
also
have
to
listen
the
same
story
many
many
times
so
I
don't
know.
If
I
can
do
that,
I
really
appreciate
it.
H
I
Just
say
a
couple
of
words:
I
have
been
involved
in
various
kinds
of
volunteer
work
since
I
was
a
teenager
and
which
is
a
lot
of
years
and
I
have
to
say
most
of
those
have
been
rewarding,
but
nothing
has
been
as
rewarding
and
heartwarming.
As
the
friendly
visitor
program,
I
was
lucky
enough
to
be
matched
with
a
woman
who
was
born
in
1910.
I
J
The
reason
I'm
up
here
is
Karen,
Goss,
I,
think
she's
here
I
think
I
saw
everywhere,
she's
the
she
works
at
the
Senior
Center
she's,
a
case
manager,
and
she
put
this
visiting
friendly
visitors
program
together
and
we've
had
a
few
meetings.
I
think
we
meeting
every
month
or
so,
and
it's
obvious
when
we
get
together
that
everybody
is
well
matched
to
their
priscilla
person
they're
visiting
anyway.
Thank
you,
Karen.
K
I'm
not
sure
I
fit
the
description
of
what
the
volunteers
always
do
because
mostly
I
talk
I
mean
some
of
the
people.
I
visit
don't
get
out
very
much,
who
don't
have
many
experiences
some
do,
but
over
the
years,
I've
really
talked
a
lot
and
I've
been
doing
this
before
Karen
came
for
I
think
11
years.
So
it's
a
long
time.
Oh.
L
M
H
D
She
might
carry
a
big
red
sign,
but
there's
no
stopping
Marilyn
Howard
in
nearly
30
years
as
a
crossing
guard
for
the
Cupertino
Union
School
District.
She
has
logged
hundreds
of
miles
on
the
job,
shepherding
young
students
back
and
forth
across
streets
in
busy
school
neighborhoods
twice
a
day,
rain
or
shine.
Marilyn
is
a
fixture
at
the
corner
of
Blaney
Avenue
and
Clifford
Drive
as
she
waits
for
her
charges
from
nearby
Eden
elementary
school
she's,
easy
to
spot.
D
Just
look
for
the
lady
wearing
the
day:
Glo,
yellow
vests,
a
whistle
and
a
big
smile,
a
Cupertino
resident
for
50
years
marilyn
is
reliable
and
conscientious
to
qualities
that
make
her
an
ideal
guardian
for
the
children
of
our
community.
Those
are
also
traits
that
come
to
light
in
her
volunteer
work
with
the
local
chapter
of
the
League
of
Women
Voters.
For
more
than
10
years,
Marilyn
has
been
dedicated
to
providing
services
to
cupertino
voters.
She
produces
candidate
forums,
orders
and
delivers
voter
educational
materials
and
encourages
candidates
to
submit
their
information
to
smart
voter.
D
H
H
Guess
you
will
agree
with
me
without
Maryland's,
hard
work
and
expertise.
Our
voters,
in
especially
in
Cupertino,
would
not
have
enough
information
to
caster
informed
those.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Marilyn
I
know
you've
been
living
in
Cupertino
50
years
and
also
black
leaders
more
than
50
years
Wow.
H
N
I
am
truly
so
blessed
that
so
many
of
you,
some
people
in
the
room
that
have
stood
by
me,
these
past
40
or
50
years
or
even
more
and
make
me
look
a
lot
better
than
I.
Am
it's
really
about
all
of
you
back
to
the
early
days
of
the
Lutheran
Church
of
Our
Saviour
with
Vacation,
Bible,
School
and
playground
director?
My
pastor
president
st.
N
So
on
to
things
that
helped
we
I
did
the
clothes
closet
with
the
help
of
the
entire
community
for
years
and
after
Saigon
fell
in
1975
with
our
first
group
of
immigrants
that
we
so
welcome.
Here
we
had
such
a
need
that
year
and
it
worked
remarkably
well
and
my
fellow
leaguers
League
of
Women
Voters
I
am
so
proud
to
serve
with
those
present.
My
present
board.
A
lot
of
them
are
here
and
I'm
really
so
grateful
it's
really
not
about
me.
O
P
D
But
Cox
never
seems
to
use
up
his
considerable
store
of
energy.
He
just
keeps
recycling
it
day
after
day.
For
some
time
now,
Buck
has
been
plugged
into
the
recycling
efforts
at
Northwest,
YMCA
spending,
hours,
converting
truckloads
of
tin,
glass
and
plastic
and
to
hundreds
of
dollars
for
the
community's
undeserved
youth
with
unflagging
energy.
D
P
As
you
saw,
this
video
highlighted
some
of
Bucks
activities
and
he's
done
so
much
more.
If
I
asked
for
a
show
of
hands
in
this
room
of
people
who
either
either
have
worked
with
buck
or
seen
him
working
at
a
community
event,
the
only
person
who
wouldn't
raise
her
hand
probably
doesn't
get
out
much,
but
cynthaiz
e
Azzam
for
promoting
programs
that
help
underserved
youth
for
embracing
and
developing
cultural
ties
and
for
his
true
respect
and
love
for
the
programs
at
the
YMCA
underscore
why
he
is
one
of
our
crest
recipients.
P
This
year
and
Buck,
as
you
heard
in
the
video,
doesn't
even
physically
live
in
Cupertino,
but
but
you
are
so
much
of
our
Cupertino
family
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
While
you
are
young
at
heart
and
you
have
more
enthusiasm
and
energy
than
people
1/4
of
your
age,
you
are
a
role
model
to
all
of
us,
I'm
honored,
to
give
you
this
award
this
evening.
Q
Am
very
honored
because
I
enjoy
the
things
that
I
do
partly
it's
the
satisfaction
of
the
enjoyment
of
the
people
I
work
with,
as
well
as
the
things
I'm
able
to
accomplish.
It's
been
the
support
of
the
people
and
my
wise
service
club
over
28
years
here
in
Cupertino
that
have
made
me
accomplish
the
things
I've
enjoyed
doing
and
as
I
say.
Q
It's
both
the
satisfaction
of
what
I've
done,
but
also
the
people
I've
done
it
with
I'm,
very
fortunate
to
be
able
to
work
with
the
people
that
I've
been
able
to
work
with,
and
continue
to
do
that
made
it
so
enjoyable
and
satisfying
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
acknowledged.
This
way
it
was
something
I
didn't
know
that
existed
and
it's
very
quite
a
surprise.
It
means
very
much.
Thank
you
very
much.

Tapping

local
neighborhoods.
For
three
years,
Diane
has
volunteered
as
a
Cupertino
block
leader,
organizing
her
first
block
party
and
neighborhood
watch
program
when
she
was
in
eighth
grade.
D
Last
summer,
Diane
launched
the
first
Youth
block
leader
program
at
MonaVie,
stay
and
began
recruiting
training
and
mentoring,
fellow
students
in
the
art
of
building
community.
During
the
school
year.
Ten
new
youth
block
leaders
step
forward
as
a
dedicated
block
leader
Diane,
regularly
passes
along
information
from
the
city
that
directly
affects
her
neighborhood.
It
is
largely
because
of
her
tireless
efforts
that
local
children
now
walk
together
to
school.
Mothers
gather
for
tea
parties
and
Diane's
neighborhood
has
become
a
friendlier
place
to
live
recently
elected
state
president
of
a
national
marketing
Club
for
students.
D
P
She
first,
let
me
just
say:
Cupertino
is
so
rich
with
youth
and
their
talents,
youth
who
go
out
of
their
way
to
volunteer
and
make
a
difference
in
our
community
Diane
recognized
at
an
extremely
early
age.
As
you
heard
that
building
community
means
getting
out
nuts-and-bolts,
it
means
talking
to
your
neighbors,
introducing
yourself
introducing
them
to
themselves.
P
The
fun
part,
the
first
time
I
met,
Diane
I
thought
the
funniest
part
was
when
she
came
to
a
block
leader
meeting
here.
Her
mom
had
to
drive
her
between
your
energy
and
your
mom's
smile.
You
light
up
Cupertino
and
we're
so
proud
to
have
you
active
in
our
community
and
to
have
your
friends
and
extended
family
from
across
the
country
here
to
join
you
this
evening.
Congratulations.
A
So,
first
of
all,
over
my
last
17
years,
I
figured
out
that
I
realized
that
I
couldn't
be
what
I
am
today
without
the
three
P's
and
that's
passion,
perseverance
and
perspective,
and
so
for
passion.
It's
all
due
to
my
great
mentors
and
my
advisors,
I
wouldn't
become
a
block
leader.
It
wasn't
for
laura-leigh
and
I,
wouldn't
be
part
of
California
daca
if
it
wasn't
for
my
California
deca
advisers
and
I'm,
a
my
Silicon
Valley
deck
advisors,
but
most
of
all
I
have
to
thank
mr.
Carl
Schmitt
he's
actually
right.
A
P
R
Thank
you
very
much.
I
know
how
important
tonight
is
because
back
in
2005,
I
also
receive
a
crest
award.
I
know
that
other
than
attending
City
Council
meeting
until
two
o'clock
in
the
morning
or
being
at
home,
with
my
two
kids
on
my
wife
being
a
councillor.
This
is
what
really
is
important
to
me
is
awarding
these
ten
recipients
tonight
tonight.
I
have
the
honor
to
do
to
them,
and
the
first
one
is
Susan
Kwok,
and
can
we
really
take
leave.
D
Good
nurses
are
filled
with
a
strong
desire
to
offer
aid
and
comfort
to
their
fellow
human
beings.
Great
nurses
go
farther
than
that.
Susan
Kwok
is
a
great
nurse
whose
commitment
to
her
profession
has
led
to
15
years
of
volunteerism
for
her
community.
For
the
past
decade,
she
has
been
visiting
patients
at
Pleasant,
View,
convalescent
home
in
Cupertino,
helping
them
write,
letters,
bringing
them
small
gifts
and
offering
pastoral
care
through
st.
Joseph's
Church.
She
also
brings
communion
to
at
least
20
patients
at
Kaiser
Hospital
in
Santa,
Clara
and
volunteers.
D
Each
week
at
the
hospital's
memory
clinic
at
the
self-help
for
the
elderly
programs
in
Cupertino
and
San
Jose.
Susan
takes
blood
pressure,
offers
medical
related
advice
and
teaches
her
patients
how
to
spot
potential
health
problems.
Her
training
and
expertise
includes
fluency
in
three
languages,
which
enables
her
to
effectively
communicate
with
and
console
many
immigrants
confused
about
the
medical
system
married
to
Patrick
Kwok
for
44
years
and
the
mother
of
six
children.
Susan
has
devoted
her
life
to
caring
for
others,
whether
she's,
nursing
or
volunteering
for
the
American,
Cancer,
Society
or
Chinese
cultural
events.
D
R
Have
an
opportunity
to
know
Susan
Hawk
I
mean
not
just
as
a
wife
of
Mayor
Patrick
Hawk,
but
also
as
a
friend
as
I
was
getting
involved
in
the
community
back
in
2005
I
was
thinking
about
you
know,
running
for
City,
Council
and
and
she's
kind
of
reminds
me
a
lot
about
my
wife.
R
You
know
a
person
who's
really
behind
the
scenes
who
wants
to
give
back
to
the
community
and
and
doesn't
want
to
be
recognized,
she's
a
very
quiet
person,
as
you
can
tell
that
someone
who
is
full
and
inner
in
her
heart
back
then
on
they
ask
her
that
you
know
Juana.
You
talked
to
my
wife
and
say
how
wonderful
is
to
be
a
council
members,
wife
and
she
says
I,
don't
think
so.
R
You
might
hear
something
different,
but
I
think
that
she
did
the
right
thing,
because
I
guess
spent
two
more
years
with
my
family
and
with
my
kids
and
I
cherish
all
the
advice
what
susan
has
given,
but
as
a
professional
nurse,
giving
back
to
community
with
a
wonderful
husband,
six
children
and
many
grandchildren.
As
we
see
tonight
is
my
humble
honor
to
present
this
award
to
Susan
Hawke.
S
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
you
to
me
Mahoney
to
the
city,
council,
members,
and
you
know
what
committee
for
giving
me
this
kress
award.
I
know
that
I
don't
deserve
it,
and
this
is
truly
an
incentive
for
me
to
continue
doing
more
volunteer
works
for
as
long
as
I
can
and
to
give
back
to
the
communities.
Thank
you
very
much.
R
D
Blend
30
years
of
finely
honed
business
experience
with
an
engaging
personal
style
and
a
passion
for
libraries,
and
you
have
Ino
Schmidt,
president
of
the
Cupertino
library
foundation.
Now,
in
his
third
year
as
foundation,
chief
Eno
has
steered
the
organization
and
the
Cupertino
library
in
directions
that
are
producing
positive
community
benefits.
He
has
built
and
strengthened
relationships
with
the
City
and
County
Library
staffs
with
local
service
groups
and
nonprofits
and
with
city
government.
D
His
unassuming
collaborative
leadership
style
led
to
a
$25,000
grant
from
the
Rotary
Club
and
a
matching
gift
from
the
Friends
of
the
library.
The
funds
will
be
used
for
the
library's
teen
room
enhancement,
project
ino
works
long
hours
at
leading
the
foundation,
whether
he's
driving
the
first-ever
strategic
planning
process
or
stuffing
envelopes.
He
brings
energy
and
commitment
to
every
task.
Quiet
and
thoughtful.
Eno
is
a
former
city
library,
commissioner,
who
fits
his
volunteer
foundation.
D
Duties
in
between
the
demands
of
managing
a
local
startup
firm,
while
his
interpersonal
skills
and
business
sense
have
resulted
in
many
successes
for
the
library
foundation
at
the
heart
of
these
accomplishments
are
two
core
values.
He
knows,
love
of
learning
and
his
understanding
of
how
powerful
a
library's
impact
can
be
on
a
community.
R
I'm
very
fortunate
to
have
MIT.
You
know
when
I
was
a
council
member
that,
on
the
council
appointed
me
on
the
joint
powers
authority
as
a
board
member
and
Anna
was,
was
one
the
very
first
person
who
gave
me
a
phone
call
being
a
new
council
member,
and
let
me
know
about
our
Cupertino
library
service.
I,
can't
believe
that
it's
been
five
years
since
we
have
built
our
library
coming
this
October
as
well
as
this
community
hall,
and
without
the
efforts
of
Internet
and
others.
R
We
wouldn't
have
come
this
way
to
have
such
a
beautiful
library,
a
library
that
is
on
the
number
one
user
in
in
the
county.
Also
and
I
have
given
her
ously
to
help
with
the
Rotary
Club
to
get
the
team
room
set,
and
it
is
my
pleasure
in
my
humble
honor
to
present
the
crest
award
to
Anna
Schmidt.
T
Thank
you
for
this
great
honor.
Of
course,
I
couldn't
be
here
without
the
support
of
my
family
or
the
great
volunteers
that
we
all
work
with
to
have.
These
events
occur
particularly
grateful
to
the
great
folks
at
the
library,
and
particularly
the
library
foundation,
as
you
saw
in
the
video
we're
in
the
middle
of
our
teen
room
enhancement
campaign,
so
hopefully
you'll
all
see
more
of
that
and
and
come
see
the
new
teen
room.
Thank
you.
R
U
D
Walk
a
mile
in
Michael,
Gottwald,
shoes
and
you'll
know
what
it's
like
to
walk
for
a
cause.
Last
year,
this
lifelong
Cupertino
resident
participated
in
organized
walks
for
three
different
charities:
the
Arthritis
Foundation,
the
American
Heart
Association,
and
the
American
Diabetes
Association,
raising
a
total
of
more
than
13,000
dollars
in
donations.
D
Disabilities
and
a
heart
condition
have
done
nothing
to
slow
Michael
down
next
year.
He
says
he'll
raise
funds
for
four
walks,
caring
and
determined.
He
is
dedicated
to
living
a
life
of
meaning
and
value.
One
of
the
many
ways
in
which
Michael
contributes
to
his
community
is
through
his
strong
support
of
youth
sports,
a
graduate
of
Mauna
Vista
High
School.
He
gives
back
to
his
alma
mater
by
volunteering
as
a
scorekeeper
for
the
school's
varsity
and
junior
varsity
baseball
teams.
His
love
of
baseball
crosses
all
leagues
and
divisions.
D
Not
only
does
he
root
for
both
the
Giants
and
the
A's
he's
also
the
number
one
fan
of
the
Cupertino
national
little
league
he's
thrown
out
ceremonial
first
pitches
for
both
the
Little
League
and
for
the
San
Jose
Giants
Michael
also
takes
an
active
interest
in
local
issues,
faithfully
attending
city
council
meetings
and
offering
informed
input.
The
city
has
honored
him
for
his
role
in
the
community
and
that's
a
role
he
plays
with
more
spirit
and
enthusiasm
each
passing
year.
U
You
know
first
I'd
like
to
thank
our
video
crew.
Once
again,
they
stolen
all
the
great
things.
I
wanted
to
say
Michael
I,
for
those
of
you
don't
know,
he's
amazing
Walker.
He
raised
so
much
money,
a
lot
of
it
from
my
fellow
council
members
and
myself,
I
I,
can't
believe
there's
only
three
or
four
walks
a
year,
because
it
seems
like
about
every
other
week.
U
He's
he's
up
there
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
I,
don't
think
I've
ever
remember,
Michael
missing
a
council
meeting
he's
there
he's
paying
attention
to
what
goes
on
he's
involved
in
the
community.
His
love
of
baseball
was
clearly
covered
in
that,
but
he's
just
he's
just
tireless
he's,
a
great
cheerleader
for
the
city
and
a
wonderful
citizen
and
he's
done
amazing
things
raising
money
for
various
charities
and
I.
Think
you
should
all
congratulate.
V
V
Thank
you
all
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
You
are,
you
are
all
very
special
to
me
in

like
to
take

opportunity

Cupertino

U
D
A
few
months
after
he
retired
from
his
32
year
career
as
an
engineer,
Bob
cloak
went
back
to
work.
These
days,
though,
he
concentrates
on
human
lives.
Instead
of
disk
drives
a
volunteer
at
West
Valley
Community
Services.
For
the
past
five
years,
Bob
can
be
found
every
Tuesday
morning,
working
with
clients
in
the
agencies.
Computer
lab
he
polishes
their
resumes,
helps
with
job
searches
and
teaches
basic
computer
skills.
Staff
and
clients
remark
on
Bob's,
incredible
patience
and
the
respect
he
gives
equally
and
generously
to
everyone.
D
Bob's
volunteerism
goes
beyond
WV
cs2,
a
church
group
in
Sunnyvale
and
to
the
Santa
Clara
County,
historical
and
genealogical
society,
serving
as
treasurer
for
both
organizations.
If
you
thought
his
volunteer
day
was
over.
Think
again.
Bob
also
takes
time
each
and
every
week
to
help
a
homebound
neighbor
by
shopping
and
delivering
food
to
her
doorstep.
A
native
of
San
Jose.
This
retiree
shows
no
sign
of
slowing
down,
jumping
in
to
help
wherever
help
is
needed
and
those
at
West,
Valley,
Community.
U
So
I
guess
I,
don't
know
to
need
to
talk
about
Bob's
volunteering
you
seen
about
the
West
Valley,
the
genealogical
society,
the
church,
helping
his
neighbors
I
kind
of
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
different
about
Bob
and
Bob
kind
of
epitomizes,
Cupertino
and
Silicon.
Valley
he's
he's
EE,
which
is
maybe
why
I
have
got
Bob
can
it
relate?
U
W
My
first
job
in
the
disk
drive
industry
was
on
a
little
company
on
tantowel
a
veneer.
There
were
fields
on
every
side
of
the
company.
My
first
boss
said
we
try
to
work
smart
here,
so
we
don't
have
to
work
so
hard.
What
he
was
really
saying
is
we
have
to
work
smart
and
hard,
but
I
found
that,
as
I
start
to
volunteer
that
there's
a
third
part
of
this
triangle,
we
need
and
that's
to
work
from
our
heart,
because
that's
really
where
it's
at.
Thank
you.
C
So,
every
year
in
our
Rotary,
Club
and
you've
heard
a
lot
about
rotor
tonight
the
president
gets
to
pick
a
theme
and
our
president
this
year
picked
membership
partnership
and
fellowship
as
the
three
themes
and
those
are
nice
themes
for
rotary
but
I
think
tonight.
The
10
people
that
you
saw
up
here
really
demonstrate
citizenship,
leadership
and
yes,
friendship.
That
makes
cupertino
such
a
great
City.
So
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
we're
done.
