A
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
how's
everybody
doing
tonight
great,
this
is
a
who
said
hot.
It's
cooling,
it's
cool
in
here,
it's
hot
out
there,
another
beautiful
day
in
Cupertino.
This
is
the
biggest
crowd
we've
had
for
crest
Awards,
congratulations
to
all
of
you
for
coming
and
for
the
acknowledgement
that
you're
giving
to
the
crest
Award
winners.
Tonight.
It's
my
pleasure
to
give
the
evening
a
start
and
to
explain
kind
of
the
process
this
evening.
First
of
all,
the
award
winners
will
be
perpetually
enshrined
on.
B
A
A
A
A
You
will
see
a
video
tape
on
each
award
winner
and
on
Monday
May
19th
marked
this
down
at
5:30
it'll
be
replayed
on
the
city
channel
and
it'll
be
replayed
a
few
times
after
that.
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
the
the
really
professional
video
work
that
was
done
on
this
by
our
city,
channel
staff,
Kellen
Yamada
and
Pete
Coghlan,
nice
they're
in
the
control
room
here.
A
They're
they're
hiding
out
they
don't
like
they
don't
like
to
be
honored,
so
they're
hiding
out
in
the
back,
but
they
you
will
see
the
quality
of
their
work
this
evening.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
a
couple
of
people
that
helped
put
this
evening
together.
First
of
all,
the
coordinator
of
the
entire
event,
Donna
cray,
our
public
information
officer
Donna
over
here.
A
Thanks
to
both
of
you
for
making
this
a
great
evening,
I
looked
over
the
the
people's
names
on
the
prior
years
and
I
looked
over
tonight's
honorees
and
you
know
all
communities
have
all
kinds
of
volunteers
and
all
kinds
of
leaders.
Some
are
in
positions
where
recognition
is
more
likely
they're
seeing
their
heard
their
honored.
Some
people
work
behind
the
scenes
and
they're
less
likely
to
be
honored,
and
the
thing
that
makes
me
feel
the
best
about
the
crest
Awards.
C
Thank
You,
Don
crest
means
Cupertino,
recognizes
extra
steps
taken,
and
we
do
that
once
a
year
in
this
method,
by
recognizing
in
a
public
forum.
The
efforts
of
outstanding
volunteers
in
the
community
and
I
believe
it's
important
to
do
this.
To
reinforce
the
value
that
Cupertino
places
in
its
volunteers,
volunteerism
is
an
essential
element
of
our
quality
of
life
and
what
makes
Cupertino
a
special
place
to
live
and
work
and
to
be
a
member
of
the
community.
C
D
E
F
G
Just
to
make
people
feel
at
home
and
not
I,
guess
I'm
tagging
eyes
door,
anything
just
so
that
they're
real
comfortable
coming
in
here
just
like
it
is
home.
It
is
really
flourished
and
we've
done
this.
Last
year
we
did
73
events
and
4,000
people
participated
in
those
events,
so
we
have
helped.
Hopefully
those
4,000
people
feel
more
comfortable
and
coming
to
the
center.
E
G
She
worked
with
children
with
reading
disabilities.
She
worked
with
all
the
children
in
the
neighborhood.
She
was,
the
kids
are
always
coming
over
and
she
was
helping
them
learn
to
read
or
do
math
or
whatever
she
had
been
a
schoolteacher
way
before.
I
was
born
and,
and
so
I
saw
early
on
the
benefits
and
the
rewards
that
she
got
from
volunteering.
So
I
think
that's
where
my
deep
rooted
desire
to
volunteer
came
from.
E
G
G
I
really
love
it
all
these
each
thing
I
do
is
different
and
it's
kind
of
neat
to
go
from
one
place
to
the
other,
and,
and
you
don't
have
the
constraints
of
having
a
job,
you
can
do
exactly
what
you
want
to
do
and
now
and
I
really
enjoy
doing.
That.
I
can
put
all
my
energy
into
things.
I
really
like
to
do
on
find
value
in
doing.
D
I
was
reading
through
her
nominations
paper,
and
it
was
hole-free
pages
single-spaced
and
was
so
full
of
things
that
one
could
talk
about,
but
think
that
really
jumped.
To
my
mind
when
I
was
reading,
it
was
that
at
one
point
it
mentioned
that
she
was
able
to
do
things
that
staff
was
not
able
to
do
that.
D
She
was
that
she
was
able
to
generate
interest
for
evening
programs
and
by
getting
connected
to
a
lot
of
hosts
and
hostesses
and
reviving
evening
infuses
and
for
evening
programs,
and
so
it
is
fitting
for
us
to
honor
her
her
important
role
in
a
very
important
community
institution,
which
is
the
Senior
Center,
which
works
for
our
senior
doubts.
Congratulations,
Jean!
It's
a
real
pleasure
to
be
giving
you
this
award
on
behalf
of
our
city
in
our
community.
D
E
You
could
say
the
asian-american
Parents,
Association
or
Appa
is
all
about
bridge-building.
Appa
is
not
a
PTA
for
Asians.
In
fact,
this
misconception
has
plagued
the
organization
since
its
inception.
Six
years
ago.
Appa
is
a
non-profit
coalition,
bridging
concerned
parents
and
their
children
with
school
administrators
and
other
key
players
within
the
Cupertino
educational
system,
with
the
unique
challenges,
problems
and
needs
at
asian
students
face
every
day.
There
are
many
who
could
potentially
fall
through
the
cracks
without
oppas
intervention.
E
H
Don't
have
to
be
ashamed
of
their
background
because
their
parent
doesn't
speak
perfect,
English
or
some
of
the
drawback.
They
think
they
have
in
their
background,
and
we
try
to
say
it's:
okay,
where
you
come
from
it's
okay
and
to
have
self-esteem
in
names
in
send
themselves,
because
it's
very
difficult
and
if
you
don't
have
self-esteem
in
the
community
that
you're
going
to
can't
be
contact
with
it's
going
to
affect
you
not
only
in
your
career
in
your
life,
in
everything
good
to
be
doing.
E
H
The
other
aspect,
usually
for
the
parents
of
the
student
from
the
ancient
back
room,
is
they
don't
express
what
they
think
not
much,
because
they
don't
think
they
can
make
a
difference,
so
they
they
keep
their
mouths
shut.
And
here
the
problem
is
too
big
that
it's
difficult
to
handle.
So
we
try
to
get
to
the
new
immigrant
group
and
say
it's
okay
to
tell
others
your
problems
to
tell
your
teachers
to
tell
your
principals.
E
Helps
the
school
districts
deal
with
the
ever-increasing
need
for
translation
services
outside
the
classroom.
Appa
also
gets
the
word
out
about
the
group's
activities
through
articles
published
in
several
Chinese
newspapers.
These
activities
include
speech
and
leadership
workshops,
seminars
on
effective
communication
with
children
and
information
on
curriculum
changes.
I
do.
I
I
Most
of
our
members
are,
you
can
say
treasures
because
we
are
from
our
society,
which
we
don't
have
too
much
volunteerism.
But
these
people
are
like
schools,
I,
council
members
and
also
PTA
members,
and
then
it's
very
rare
for
them
to
come
out
to
participate,
but
they
do
it
and
then
they
learn
from
dealing
with
the
schools
like
how
kind
of
issues
you
have
our
children
with
a.
D
As
spent
a
standard,
the
TV
camera
takes
a
much
better
picture
of
him
over
there.
I
just
want
to
say
I
remember
when
this
group
started
six
years
ago,
and
they
really
showed
a
lot
of
courage
for
issues
that
were
coming
up
in
our
community
and
I.
Just
want
to
thank
them
for
persevering
for
caring
and
doing
it
in
a
proper
way
for
all
our
children,
as
well
as
our
community
and
I
just
want
to
thank
Appa
and
all
its
board.
Members
past
and
present.
E
Founded
in
1951,
even
before
Cupertino
became
a
city,
the
Cupertino
host
Lions
Club
is
now
an
institution
in
this
town
and
as
part
of
the
world's
largest
service
organization.
Every
year
for
the
past
20
years,
this
local
organization
has
donated
at
least
$40,000
to
worthwhile
area
projects,
many
of
which
are
based
right
here
in
Cupertino.
E
One
such
project
is
the
Garry
Bianchini
memorial
wrestling
tournament
at
Cupertino,
High
School,
this
event
showcases
the
lions
culinary
talents
as
they
prepare
meals
for
the
team
and
sell
food
to
benefit
the
school's
wrestling
program.
In
fact,
the
Lions
always
have
something
cooking.
If
it's
not
the
chicken
corn
and
sausage
feed
or
a
wild
game
feed,
it
is
probably
their
favorite
event.
The
annual
fish,
a
thon
and
barbecue.
L
I'm
a
volunteer,
a
teacher
for
the
Lions
blind,
Center
and
I'm
driving
for
the
center
today,
so
I
brought
down
ten
folks
from
our
blind
center
and
they're
out
you're
fishing,
along
with
the
rest
of
the
the
other
Lions
Clubs.
It
bring
all
their
handicap
kids
out
here.
All
the
clubs
participate
in
it
and
it's
it
most.
The
kids
come
in
here
quite
excited
about.
It
must
have
never
get
a
chance
to
do
it.
Let
alone
touch
a
fish
but
to
actually
catch
a
bunch
of
them.
You
know
everybody.
Here's
pulling
fish
out
like
wildfires.
M

E

E

E
B
Can
push
the
button
on
this
pendant
and
they
will
be
in
touch
with
a
services
who
will
contact,
911
call
their
doctor
or
whoever
or
if
they
get
into
a
shower
going
to
take
a
shower.
They
can
call
and
say
I'm
getting
into
the
shower.
I'll
call
you
when
I
get
out
of
the
shower
in
case
they
fall
in
the
shower.
So
it
works
both
ways
up
for
emergency
and
for
just
a
goodwill.
E
B
B
You
upbeat
and
you've
got
to
be
upbeat
for
some
of
these
people
because
they're
down
in
the
dumps-
and
you
want
to
do
everything
you
can
to
cheer
them
up,
you
know
make
them
happy
make
a
good
day
for
have
them
really
have
a
good
day
and
they
usually
they're
very
receptive
this
attitude
they
like
it.
They
like
it.
E
B
More
people
should
be
doing
it
for
their
own
well-being.
I
know
it's
it's
good
for
me
as
I
call
it
therapy
to
many
people.
My
age
sit
around
and
they
have
to
say
they
have
nothing
to
do
well.
A
lot
of
them
have
a
lot
of
things
they
could
be
doing.
They
don't
have
to
be
driving
the
car.
They
don't
have
to
be
installing
communica.
They
can
be
a
volunteer
at
the
hospital.
They
can
be
volunteers
at
the
senior
centers.
J
J
Q
I
feel
very
compelled
to
stay
connected
to
education.
It's
very
important
to
me
when
our
oldest
son
entered
kindergarten.
It
was
very
easy
to
make
myself
available
to
do.
Volunteer
parent
volunteer
work
in
the
school
I
was
very
comfortable
with
it.
Having
a
teaching
background
and
having
been
in
the
classroom
and
being
a
support
person,
that's
a
role,
that's
very
comfortable
for
me,
so
I
enjoy
it
tremendously.
I
love
the
hands-on
activity,
I
love
working
with
kids,
and
so
it
was
just
felt
right.
A.
E
Former
teacher
Nancy
Harper
believes
kids
have
greatness
within
them
at
every
age
and
she
does
everything
she
can
to
nurture
that
greatness
through
her
volunteer
work
with
the
Fremont
High
Schools
Foundation
established
in
1993
with
cutbacks
and
student
services
on
the
horizon.
The
foundation
brought
together
concerned
members
of
the
community.
There.
Q
Think
it's
important
that
we
have
key
players
from
our
foundation
and
key
players
from
the
corporations,
respect
and
understand
and
appreciate
and
trust
each
other
in
that
we
have
developing
some
very
wonderful
relationships.
They
understand
that
the
foundation
is
here
for
the
long
term
that
we
have
long-range
goals,
making.
E
Q
E
Mother
of
three
who
began
as
a
volunteer
in
the
elementary
schools
during
the
early
80s
Nancy,
is
now
in
charge
of
a
staff
of
volunteers,
and
although
she
spends
a
tremendous
amount
of
time
and
energy
in
her
volunteer
work,
she
says
her
family
has
always
come
first.
That's
why,
when
asked
to
make
time
for
the
foundation
she
had
to
give
it
some
time
it.
Q
Would
have
been
very
easy
to
say:
no,
it
was
hard
to
say
yes,
but
it
was
the
right
to
say
and
I
just
felt
like
well.
I
can
either
sit
back
and
be
the
kind
of
person
that
I
really
don't
like
talking
with,
and
that
is
the
person
who
constantly
complains,
but
does
nothing
about
it.
So
I
felt
like
well.
P
Are
you
ready
inquiring
minds
as
part
of
Cupertino?
We
look
for
commitment
and
volunteerism
and
that's
a
special
effort.
The
comments
that
relate
to
Nancy.
She
has
selected
education
and
youth
to
concentrate
on
and
she's
done,
an
outstanding
job.
She
directed
a
high
energy
high
technology
presentation
at
the
last
dinner,
but
there's
more
inquiring
minds
want
to
know.
What's
buying
this.
She
was
born
and
raised
in
Huntington
Beach,
an
LA
girl.
She
has
three
sons
which
you
saw
in
there:
one
Eagle
Scout
three
soccer
players,
but
there's
more
her.
P
Lifelong
ambition
was
to
own
a
woody
surf
wagon.
The
problem
was,
it
came
with
a
column
shift
and
not
a
four-speed
on
the
floor,
so
the
LA
girl
migrated
on
she
had
to
define
something
else.
We
got
the
dirt,
we
got
the
dirt.
Yes,
we
did
some
of
her
awards
that
have
been
singled
out.
The
President's
Award
from
Fremont
Union
High
School
Foundation,
the
PTA
honorary
service
award
from
Mauna
Busta
High
School,
the
Friends
of
Education
Award
from
Fremont
Union,
High,
School,
Board,
Board
of
Trustees,
but
there's
one,
that's
really
even
bigger.
P
In
her
second
quest
on
the
fundraising
dinner.
She
was
walking
down
the
street
and
happened
to
slip
off
a
curb
and
happen
to
break
her
leg.
The
dinner
was
coming
up
guilty
smiles
saying
the
dinner
was
coming
up
and
she
didn't
want
to
stop
so.
She
ran
home.
Had
the
leg
put
in
a
cast
continued
with
the
work
ethic
that
night
she
was
working
at
dinner,
chopping
up,
onions
and
celery
for
the
dinner
the
following
night.
She
didn't
cut
off
her
finger,
but
she
came
darn
close
had
to
go
to
the
emergency
hospital.
P
E
At
82
years,
young
June
Lathrop
is
a
real
honey
of
a
motivator,
the
queen
bee
of
emergency
preparedness,
that
is,
for
the
approximately
400
older
adult
residents
who
live
within
the
format.
Rancho
San
Antonio
retirement
community
June
was
appointed
to
the
forum's
emergency
task
force
back
in
1994.
She
and
her
task
force.
Colleagues
have
received
special
training,
including
Cupertino
zone,
community,
emergency
response
training
or
cert,
and
they've
shared
what
they've
learned
with
other
residents
Vince.
R
Riley
and
I
have
worked
together
to
organize
the
residents
here
and
we
have
had
simply
tremendous
cooperation
from
the
staff
and
I
must
say
from
the
residents
too,
because
it's
their
responsibility
to
help
us
keep
them
safe,
and
so
they
have
learned
the
rules.
They
know
to
have
food
on
hand,
water
on
hand,
the
prescription,
drugs,
and
we
keep
telling
them
that
we
must
be
self-sufficient
for
three
days.
E
R
An
emergency
occurs,
for
instance,
during
the
dinner
hour,
when
we
have
a
hundred
and
fifty
people
in
the
dining
room,
we're
going
to
have
to
think
about
getting
those
people
out
of
the
dining
room
to
safety,
and
so
we
have
asked
that
the
staff
members
know
their
way
through
the
buildings.
This
is
a
bigger
job
than
you
think
it
isn't
a
matter
of
going
up
or
down
three
or
four
flights
of
stairs.
You
are
built
into
a
hillside.
We
have
five
buildings
and
each
building
is
no
higher
than
three
stories.
E
R
R
Have
loved
it,
we
have
never
looked
back
and
we
both
are
enjoying
it
immensely.
The
people
are
delightful.
There
is
always
something
to
do
and
we
are
most
enthusiastic
supporters
of
the
forum
so
at
the
present
time,
I'm
working
six
days
a
week
on
emergency
preparedness
and
every
Monday
all
day,
I'm
over
at
our
health
unit,
in
both
assisted
living
and
in
skilled
nursing.
R
P
Trust
me:
we
did
some
research.
You
brought
the
delegation
in
from
the
forum
nice
job.
This
is
the
queen
bee
of
emergency
services.
That's
her
nickname!
She
is
responsible
for
400
seniors
at
the
forum
and
getting
the
signs
posted
the
equipment
set
up
and
the
drills
organized
she's,
the
only
person
when
the
crest
press
release
went
out
that
stated
her
age
and
it
was
stated
incorrectly.
It
was
stated
at
80
and
she's
really
82
and
that
kind
of
she's
going.
Why
are
they
picking
on
me
from
my
age?
Not
fair?
She
looks
maybe
32.
P
She
loves
parties
since
she's
had
the
disaster
preparedness,
drills
she's
come
up
with
several
unique
strategies:
earthquake
prevention
at
the
Forum.
Why
would
you
have
to
leave
everything's
great
here
in
case
of
a
disaster,
find
the
biggest
floor
with
the
biggest
party
porn,
the
most
wine?
That's
where
she's
going?
These
are
critical.
P
She
has
started
her
Emergency
Services
preparedness
in
her
early
stages,
being
a
bridal
maid
church
service,
wedding
reception
where
people
forgot
to
bring
the
rings.
She
happened
to
find
her
ring
and
loan
it
to
the
groom
in
case
of
emergency.
This
was
emergency
preparedness
in
the
photo
op
that
you
saw
there.
She
was
in
the
yellow
best.
It
was
a
photo
op.
Marie
Moore
will
testify
to
this.
She
hates
yellow,
yellow
from
her
words,
not
her
color.
They
offered
her
a
blue
and
she
refused.
P
S
S
E
There
are
many
people
in
Cupertino
who
would
say
that
Nicole
Lee
is
the
sparkplug
behind
the
city's
comeback
4th
of
July
fireworks
celebration.
This
popular
event
discontinued
in
1992
because
of
budget
shortfalls,
was
reinstated
last
year,
largely
because
Nicole
and
other
community
activists
initiated
a
campaign
to
raise
the
money
for
its
rebirth.
We.
T
Were
hearing
a
lot
of
comments
from
the
citizens,
they
really
wanted
a
4th
of
July
people
think
it's
only
a
20
minute
show
and
that's
it.
But
in
reality
it
takes
months
of
planning
and
it
takes
lots
of
expertise
to
put
on
a
big
show.
We
needed
the
cooperation
of
DeAnza
College
because
we
basically
had
outgrown
Memorial
Park,
bringing.
E
T
Of
the
learning
experiences
is
that
there
are
so
many
different
people
in
our
community.
We
all
have
different
skills.
We
all
have
different
ways
of
communicating
and
part
of
a
good
leader,
in
my
opinion,
is
somebody
that
could
see
the
potential
sort
of
massage
them.
Take
the
gruffs
and
the
heartaches
and
sort
of
gloss
over
them
and
then
be
able
to
deliver
a
package
that
it's
a
win-win
situation
for
everyone
and
I.
Think
the
4th
of
July
is
one
of
them
under.
E
Nicole's
direction
the
4th
of
July
committee
raised
$33,000
last
year
for
the
event
enough
to
match
the
city's
contribution
and
to
ensure
that
a
celebration
would
take
place
again
this
year,
Nicole
believe
after
a
goal
has
been
reached.
She
says
once
the
fourth
of
July
celebration
has
been
assured
a
place
in
Cupertino
tradition:
she'll,
look
for
other
challenges,
I.
T
E
S
Nicolle,
you
need
to
know,
we
never
know.
What's
going
to
be
on
the
video
we
see
it
for
the
first
time
with
you,
I
was
thinking
about
Nicole
for
the
last
several
days
and
I
want
to
use
some
words
to
describe
her.
That,
for
me
describe
her
she's,
an
idea
person.
You
never
know
what
the
ideas
are
going
to
be,
and
you
just
have
to
hang
on
and
hope
that
you
can
keep
up
with
her.
S
S
You
do
things
she
arranged
for
the
food
for
the
Cupertino
Historical
Society
for
their
latest
opening
here
and
I
understand
that
you
were
in
the
kitchen
directing
everything
that
was
going
on
and
how
it
should
be
done
and
getting
the
food
out
on
time
that
to
me
exemplifies
what
you
would
do,
you're
a
volunteering
Nicole
you're,
always
there
and
you're
always
thinking
about
what
needs
to
be
done.
And
finally,
you
care
you
care
immensely
about
the
people
around
you
and
you're
there
for
them,
and
you
don't
forget.
E
F
That's
one
good
thing
about
rotary:
it
does
allow
you
to
be
creative
and
use
your
particular
skills
and
I
happen
to
be
the
chairman
of
the
community
service
committee
that
year
and
I've
had
an
interest
over
time
in
emergency
preparedness
and
I
thought
there
might
be
some
program
that
rotary
could
do
in
the
community.
That
would
lead
to
further
preparedness
in
our
community.
E
F
E
Only
does
Kathy
preserve
the
history
of
the
city.
She
also
makes
it.
She
was
the
first
woman
to
serve
on
the
city's
Planning
Commission
and
she
became
cupertino
first
woman
council
member
during
her
term
as
council
woman
in
the
mid
70s,
she
was
instrumental
in
securing
Rancho
San
Antonio
County
Park
as
open
space,
I.
F
Guess
that's
what's
so
exciting
about
being
involved
in
something
like
the
City
Council
that
you
can
make
a
difference.
At
that
time
there
had
been
a
met
county
measure
passed,
which
was
to
set
money
aside
for
the
purchase
of
parklands
in
the
county
of
Santa
Clara.
You
know
my
thoughts
went
to
San
Antonio
Park,
for
what
was
then
the
diocese
property
because
it
was
so
centrally
located
on
the
border
of
many
cities
and
it
was
so
easily
accessible
and
I
went
to
Jerry
Steinberg.
Who
was
our
supervisor
in
the
fifth
District
at
that
time?
E
F
Gazebo
is
very
significant
in
terms
of
its
history,
because
the
there
was
a
home,
Enochs
parish
house
at
the
corner
were
the
Memorial
Park
site,
where
the
Senior
Center
is
the
gingerbread.
That's
in
that
gazebo
is
from
that
parish
house,
and
so
that
is
a
part
of
our
history.
That
is
a
part
of
the
Memorial
Park
and
it
was
a
fun
project
to
work
on
both
because
it
was
part
of
my
particular
history
being
on
the
City
Council
as
part
of
the
community's
history
and
the
way
the
Rotarians
just
responded.
E
With
her
quiet
determination,
Kathy
continues
to
work
behind
the
scenes
for
the
community's
benefit.
She
might
be
chairing
the
kinder
Platts
at
rotaries
Oktoberfest
or
setting
up
a
banquet
for
the
historical
museum,
but
she's,
always
there
calmly
and
thoroughly
tackling
any
job
that
needs
to
be
done.
S
They
told
us
to
do
that
when
I
read
over
Kathy's
resume
that
was
presented,
I
had
to
pick
out
some
words
that
were
important
to
me.
The
first
one
was
she's
a
role
model.
Kathy
was
the
first
Councilwoman
in
Cupertino
and
I
think
she
set
the
tone
for
all
of
the
rest
of
us
who
have
followed
her
and
there
have
been
a
total
of
four
now.
S
I
think
she's
a
frustrated
painter
because
she
was
painting
the
gazebo,
but
she
also
helped
paint
the
room
over
at
at
Cupertino
high
school
that
had
houses
the
teens
for
Tots
program
and,
above
all,
she's
involved
in
emergency
preparedness,
Kathy's
a
volunteer.
This
was
another
key
word
for
me.
She
sees
the
need
and
then
she
finds
a
way
to
solve
that
very
need,
and
finally
Kathy
you
care,
above
all,
you
care
about
the
citizens
of
Cupertino
and
you're,
always
there
for
them.
Thank
you.
U
V
As
I
was
getting
close
to
retirement
age,
I
used
to
say
to
myself,
gee
I
don't
have
any
hobbies
well,
what
am
I
going
to
do
when
I
retire
and
it
suddenly
dawned
on
me
that
volunteerism
is
my
hobby
and
it
was
a
wonderful
transition
because
it's
I
just
have
more
time
now
to
work
on
those
things
than
I
do
when
I
was
working.
So
it's
a
truly
an
extension
of
what
I
did
before
I
retired
and
an
expansion
of
it,
and
so
it's
a
it's
a
great
transition.
If.
E
Volunteerism
is
indeed
a
hobby
of
Daryl
Stowe.
Then
it's
one
that
seems
to
occupy
most
of
his
waking
hours.
He
started
this
hobby
more
than
thirty
years
ago
in
Cupertino,
as
a
little
league
umpire
today,
he's
active
in
the
Cupertino
educational
endowment,
Foundation,
the
YMCA
and
the
Rotary
Club
to
name
a
few
groups.
Last
year
he
chaired
the
Elementary
School
District's,
most
successful,
fundraising,
gala
to
date
and
in
typical
Darrell
Stowe
fashion.
He
downplays
his
crucial
role
in
that
event
to.
V
Me
it's
it's
senseless.
Essentially,
it's
just
trying
to
direct
people's
energies
that
are
very
committed
to
the
project,
to
the
cause
who
know
what
they're
doing
they've
done
it
before
and
it
just
kind
of
set
some
ceramic
and
do
a
little
guiding
of
people
that
make
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page
and
we've
haven't
forgotten
anything
and
they
do
all
the
work
and
the
job
gets
done.
E
V
That
was
poor
timing,
but
it
they
all
happened
to
come
together
at
the
same
time.
So
I
really
do
both,
but
the
rotaries
is
a
real
challenge.
It's
it's
a
it's
a
lot
of
effort
to
keep
it
coordinated
and
keep
members
happy
and
working
toward
a
common
goal.
Motto
is
service
about
self
and
that
pretty
well
caps
Eliza's.
What
we're
is
all
about.
E
V
Have
to
you
have
to
work
at
it.
You
have
to
ask
people
for
the
money
you
have
to
believe
in
what
you're,
what
you're
doing
it's,
not
apologetic,
you're,
giving
them
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
something
important
and
not,
and
most
people
that
at
least
are
willing
to
share
their
money
to
a
good
cause,
will
listen
to
that
appeal
and
if
they
feel
it's
worthwhile,
they
will
able
support
it.
So
mainly
it's
it's
I,
don't
think
it's
a
great
talent,
it's
just
being
persistent
and
continuing
to
ask
for
what
you
believe
in
in.
E
E
V
C
Darrel,
it's
with
that
tremendous
pleasure
that
I
present
this
award
to
you.
You
are
a
tremendous
asset
to
the
community
and
it
seems
to
me
over
the
last
several
years
when
we've
gotten
to
know
each
other,
virtually
every
community
event,
you're
involved
with
in
some
way
or
another
and
you're
a
tremendous
support,
and
not
only
for
the
things
you've
done.
C
Think
that's
one
thing
that
stands
out
on
my
mind
and
furthermore,
I
think
your
best
attribute
is
that
you're
married
to
the
lovely
Darrow
Stowe
had
two
lovely
Dorothy
Stowe,
who
we
will
be
presenting
next
as
the
other
half
of
the
dynamic
duo.
But
it's
with
great
pleasure
Darrell
that
I
present
this
award
to
you.
E
W
Seems
like
every
organization
that
I
come
into
I'm,
suddenly,
the
treasurer
it's
it's
nice
to
be
able
to
do
something
else.
I
have
been
treasurer
of
Cupertino
Community
Services
I
am
now
the
treasurer
of
the
of
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
I'm.
Now
a
treasurer
have
the
Library
Foundation.
So
yes,
it's
they
that's.
They
seem
to
think
that's
what
you
the
only
thing
you
can
do
it,
but
it's
kind
of
fun
to
be
able
to
do
something
else.
Let
somebody
else
count.
The
money
has.
E
W
Were
told
to
move
here
31
years
ago
because
of
the
schools
and
when
we
moved
in,
we
were
looking
for
the
schools
and
we
were
pleasantly
surprised
to
find
out
that
the
people
were
great
too
and
I
find
that
in
the
organizations
that
were
involved
in
people
help
people
if
you're
in
involved
in
one
nonprofit
organization.
When
you
have
your
fund
raiser,
you
do
everybody
else,
pitches
in
and
helps
you
and
then
you
turn
around
and
help
them
when
it's
their
turn.
W
In
a
real
is
the
spouses
group
of
rotary
and
we
have
our
own
charities.
Our
big
one
is
the
my
electric
limb
Bank
Cupertino.
Up
until
this
year,
our
inner
wheel
club
has
had
donated
more
than
to
that
foundation
than
any
other
organization
in
the
United
States.
The
money
goes
to
help
the
children
with
these
myoelectric
limbs
if
they
recycle
the
limbs
as
the
children,
outgrow
them,
and
that
way
more
children
can
have
the
access
to
these
limbs
that
look
more
natural.
W
Guess
maybe
at
this
point
in
my
life,
suddenly,
after
all
these
years,
I'm
suddenly
getting
a
little
more
confidence
in
myself.
That
I,
like
the
finding
that
I
can
make
a
difference
and
then
finding
that
as
an
individual
can
make
a
difference
in
the
community.
It
doesn't.
It
doesn't
take
an
entire
group,
but
it
helps
saying
if
the
group
likes
works
well
together,
but
each
individual
does
make
a
difference.
E
W
E
W
Can't
say
enough
about
Cupertino
I
think
it's
it's
a
it's
a
city
different
from
other
cities,
people
that
when
you
talk
to
people
in
other
cities
about
the
type
of
people,
the
sharing
that
the
people
do
in
Cupertino,
they
just
don't
understand
what
it's
like
to
do.
The
camaraderie
that
that
we
have
here
it's
it's.
It's
special.
C
Dorothy
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
longtime
support
of
the
Cupertino
library
foundation
and
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
the
inner
wheel
service,
club
and
Cupertino
community
services.
I
think
you
are
a
dedicated
volunteer
to
the
community
and
have
always
been
there
for
the
community
and
I
think
that
you're
also
to
be
acknowledged
for
your
good
cash
management
skills,
and
if
we
want
to
know
where
the
money
is
all
we
have
to
do
is
ask
Dorothy
one.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city,
staff
and
council
for
putting
on
in
presenting
this
crest
Awards
ceremony
this
year.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
family
and
friends
of
each
of
the
award
recipients
for
attending
and
supporting
those
tonight
and
finally,
I'd
like
to
thank
those
volunteers
and
Award
recipients
for
their
dedication
that
they
brought
to
this
community
and
for
sharing
with
us
tonight
their
labor
of
love
that
they
have
engaged
in
in
this
community.
You
are
so
important
to
us.
