A
A
B
To
officially
welcome
you
to
tonight's
crest
Awards,
my
name
is
Don
Brown
and
I'm
the
city
manager
of
Cupertino.
It's
a
real
honor
to
be
here
and
be
part
of
this
festivities.
We
are
honoring
tonight.
Ten,
very
special
people
and
I
want
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
how
people
are
nominated
and
selected
for
this
award.
B
The
candidates
are
nominated
by
the
community.
Anybody
in
the
community
can
nominate
somebody
and
then
they're,
reviewed
by
our
a
group
of
citizens
who
serve
on
our
various
Commission's
and
advisory
boards,
and
then
up
to
ten
recipients
per
year
are
selected,
and
this
year
I
think
we
have
an
outstanding
group
of
honorees
a
couple
of
other
things
to
let
you
know
they
each
word
winner
will
receive
a
an
engraved
Jade
crystal
coaster
and
their
names
will.
B
B
Tonight's
program
is
being
videotaped
by
our
government
channel
people
and
I'd
like
to
also
just
acknowledge
the
videotaping
that
you're
going
to
see
tonight
that
that
honors
each
of
the
Award
winners
this
this
was
all
shot
by
the
city
of
Cupertino
those
government
channel
employees.
It's
really
good
work
and
we're
real
proud
of
them.
I'd
like
to
also
mention
that,
as
when
the
evening
is
completed,
that
each
of
the
honorees
is
invited
or
designee
Ziff,
the
honoree
isn't
here
to
pick
up
one
of
these
plants
to
take
home
plant
it
in
your
garden.
B
C
Good
evening,
everyone
I
too,
would
like
to
add
my
welcome
and
congratulations
to
all
the
recipients.
You
know
we
have
an
outstanding
volunteer
program
here
in
Cupertino,
but
even
besides
that
program,
all
these
service
clubs
and
all
the
activities
at
everybody
else,
volunteers,
the
thousands
upon
thousands
of
hours
that
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
others
donates
to
your
particular
cause
is
just
it's
remarkable.
It
really
is.
C
We
also
tonight
have
kind
of
a
special
deal.
I,
don't
think
anybody
here
knows
about
it,
but
congresswoman
Anna,
Eshoo
called
me,
and
she
had
seen
the
article
honoring
all
of
you
and
asked
if
she
couldn't
please
send
a
certificate.
So
tonight
each
of
our
10
recipients
will
be
receiving
I'll.
Show
it
to
you
a
beautiful
certificate
from
our
congresswoman.
E
D
It's
fun,
I,
don't
mind
volunteering
I'm,
not
a
teenybopper,
so
I've
been
around
for
a
while,
but
that's
allowed
me
to
be
involved
in
a
lot
of
things.
I've
gone
through
things,
as
my
children
have
matured,
we
were
very
active
in
soccer
and
Cupertino
with
AYSO,
and
my
wife
and
I
were
commissioners
of
region
35
and
we're
active
in
that
and
active
in
school
activity.
D
Busy
people
do
find
time
to
do
things
and
I've
noticed
it
with
the
community,
the
Rotary
Club.
These
are
really
busy
active
people
when
they
find
time
to
do
this
sort
of
thing.
I
think
our
community
is
just
blessed
to
have
it.
That's
what
makes
Cupertino
green.
We
aren't
too
big.
Where
you
know
we
don't
get
to
know
each
other
I
think
that's
the
important
thing
so
and
I
think
it's
important
that
the
new
people
coming
into
the
community.
C
Dick
is
a
close
friend
and
outstanding
Parks
and
Recreation
Commissioner,
and
very
active
and
rotary,
having
served
as
chair
of
their
annual
Oktoberfest,
which
is
always
an
extremely
successful
event,
as
well
as
being
involved
in
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
Dick
has
given
more
than
300
hours
of
his
time
and
energy
to
local
causes
this
past
year,
not
to
mention
the
thousands
upon
thousands
of
hours
over
the
last
20
years,
in
particular
to
AYSO
soccer
as
well
as
Little
League,
dick
la
Miller,
a
truly
dedicated
cupertino
citizen,
volunteer
and
friend.
F
E
F

We
found
out
that
teachers
are
spending
colleges,
fifteen
hundred
to
four
thousand
dollars
a
year
of
their
own
money
for
school
supplies
and
classroom
supplies,
especially
in
the
primary
grades.
So
we
have
developed
what
we
call
an
educator
charge
card
in
any
teacher
of
principal
or
personal
voice
for
the
school
district
can
get
where
these
cards
are.
They
automatically
get
a
10%
discount
he's
always
gone.
I've
lived
in
the
community.
F
All
my
life
I
was
here
the
late
forties
when
it
was
all
orchards
and
grew
up
with
romantic
models
like
the
merry
ends
of
the
melody
knows
the
riches
there,
a
convinces
all
the
local
people
that
had
orchards
is
that
really
were
self-made
people,
and
these
were
great
world
walks
and
they
always
things.
I
haven't
always
given
that
to
the
community.
So
just
as
they
gave
me,
an
incentive
to
be
successful
in
business,
I've
also
watched
what
they
did
when
they
became
successful
and
they've,
given
so
much
back
to
the
community.
C
Steve
is
unable
to
be
here
tonight,
but
I
will
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
him
and
then
I
will
ask
Dennis
Whitaker
to
please
come
up
and
accept
his
award.
Steve
Andrews
is
a
very
caring,
committed
individual
who
is
truly
involved
in
the
betterment
of
Cupertino
as
an
owner
of
mcquarters.
He
encourages
his
employees
to
become
involved
in
the
community
and,
as
a
businessman
is
always
very
supportive
of
local
needs
and
donates.
C
Accordingly,
he
is
a
member
of
the
Cupertino
education
endowment
Foundation
Board
is
president-elect
of
Cupertino
Community
Services
and
is
on
the
board
of
the
Cupertino
Chamber
of
Commerce
Steve
lives
here
works
here
and
cares
deeply
about
our
city
Dennis.
Would
you
please
come
up
and
accept
his
award.
A
H
H
G
Geo
mannequin
is
a
quiet.
Gentle
man
he's
genuine
he's
a
doer.
That's
the
best
way
to
describe
it.
When
I
look
at
the
things
he's
done
in
the
past,
it's
extremely
impressive
and
he's
an
asset
to
the
community.
One
of
the
first
things
that
I
saw
him
do
in
the
community
was
sweat
over
here
at
the
Sports
Center,
a
program
called
Leeds
where
he
was
bringing
people
together.
Sales
people
together
to
generate
sales
within
the
city
and
for
other
people
that
do
business
in
our
city,
which
is
critically
important.
G
His
other
assets
that
he's
been
involved
in
are
the
Lions
Club
he's
been
an
officer
he's
held
every
office
in
the
Lions
Club
that
there
is
the
hole
he's
also
been
on
many
community
boards
throughout
the
20
year,
history
of
his
heritage
in
Cupertino.
He
is
currently
the
treasurer
the
budget
director
and
the
program
chair
of
the
Lions.
He
has
been
the
past
president
of
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
He
is
on
the
board
of
directors
at
the
Cupertino
Community
Services
Association,
and
he
also
volunteers
as
a
judge.
I
E
I
Many
of
us
are
fortunate
to
have
worked
in
situations
where
we
have
healthcare
provided,
but
there
are
numbers
of
senior
citizens
in
our
County
in
our
city
who
do
not
have
health
care,
and
this
is
a
very
frightening
thing,
as
one
gets
older.
So
we
have
had
a
discussion
group
here
at
the
Senior
Center
and
we've
had
about
20
an
average
of
about
20
people
who
come
to
discuss
the
meaning
of
the
various
bills
that
are
being
considered
by
the
Congress.
I
It
seems
to
me
that
I
am
so
very,
very
fortunate
to
have
lived
to
be
old
enough
to
retire
and
to
pursue
interests
and
thoughts
and
ideas
that
I
didn't
really
have
time
to
do.
When
I
worked
and
I've
said
to
my
daughter
that
I
hope
she
will
take
very
good
care
of
herself
and
live
to
be
a
retired
person
so
that
she
will
know
as
I,
do
the
wonderful
joy
you
have
in
being
able
to
just
go
out
and
do
things
that
capture
your
interest.
G
G
G
She
is
currently
cupertino
x'
representative
for
the
State
Council
on
Aging.
She
is
the
Past
Chair
of
the
Santa
Clara
County's
Council
on
Aging.
She
has
be
representative
at
the
Senior
Center
for
information
on
state
and
federal
legislation.
She
is
also
the
person
in
an
emergency
consigned
checks
at
the
Senior
Center.
That
was
important.
She
also
has
her
PhD
with
that
I'd
like
to
welcome
Eunice
Cox.
K
K
In
the
library
I
have
picked
put
things
from
newspapers,
there
are
many
good
Dean's
and
whatever
and
brochures
and
I
called
them,
and
somebody
else,
files
them
and
we
had
a
pamphlet
file
and
I
do
the
yeah
newsletter
or
quarterly.
Now,
and
also
there.
Lots
of
other
things
that
come
up
in
the
library
have
also
come
out.
There.
K
J
J
You've
been
working
all
much
longer
at
your
tasks
and
service
to
the
community
that
I
have
and
I
hope
that
I
can
repay
the
favor
and
work
as
hard
and
and
and
dedicated
as
you
have
10
years
at
the
California
History
Center
is
a
real
achievement.
I
think
Cathy
Peregrin
will
be
accepting
the
award
for
Helen
tonight.

This
year
is
required
a
lot
of
my
time,
and
it's
quote
is
always
an
interesting
group
and
situation.
A
lot
of
professional
people
in
the
community
short
there's,
always
something
happening
and
something
moving
in
quota
club,
so
enjoyable
and
the
chamber
is
the
same
way,
a
lot
of
professional
people
and
we
all
enjoy
working
together
and
having
a
good
time
and
helping
people
just
working
the
food
alley
for
country
festival
was
a
lot
of
fun.
Gets
me
a
lot
of
people
from
different
areas
and
there's
always
constant
motion.
There.
N
N
M
Barbra
Jean
has
been
active
most
recent
an
event:
I
attended,
a
Citizen
of
the
Year
award
this
year,
put
on
by
the
chamber
of
commerce,
she's
active
in
their
art
and
chamber,
art
and
country
festival
that
the
chamber
puts
on
and
quoted
president.
The
quota
club
is
responsible
for
our
Dickens
Fair,
the
highlights
of
our
year
and
celebrations,
and
after
doing
all
those
things
you
still
times
has
time
to
volunteer
for
other
things,
the
YMCA
canden
up
and
running
event,
and
she
even
has
time
to
volunteer
for
Cupertino
community
services
and
the
Rotary
Club.
P
It
all
kind
of
really
started
out
as
a
lot
as
well.
Why
we
build
a
building
out
there
and
so
I
happen
to
belong
to
a
building
group.
The
National
Association
remodelers
industry,
Joe
Madigan,
is
the
other
lions
club,
member
and
I.
Remember
and
I
coordinated
the
the
building
of
this
with
all
the
volunteer,
help
from
the
builders
group
and
then
the
Lions
Club,
provided
all
the
monetary
funding
for
the
building.
P
P
M
Apparently
it
was
a
fair
struggle
to
get
through
the
red
tape.
That's
involved,
even
though
it's
a
city
project,
but
they
managed
and
hich
can
convert
sugar.
All
right
and
I
would
certainly
express
our
appreciation
for
to
the
National
Association
of
the
remodeling
industry.
I
think
it's
really
a
great
thing
that
they
pitched
in
and
helped,
and
it's
really
nice
to
have
someone
who
comes
from
San
Jose
to
come
to
Cupertino
and
do
nice
things
for
us.
Thanks.
Q
E
R
Are
so
many
new
people
that
have
come
in
that?
Do
not
understand
what
the
people
that
first
lived
here,
how
hard
they
worked
and
how
much
fun
it
was
just
the
same
working
to
be
able
to
say
that
you
progressed
on
your
own
without
any
help
from
anybody,
because
they
came
here
with
practically
nothing
and
were
able
to
earn
a
living
for
themselves
and
educate
their
children
and
buy
homes
and
buy
ranches.
E
E
Q
Q
Matilda
was
born
in
Cupertino
and
I.
Don't
think
there
are
many
of
us
that
can
say
that
she's,
obviously
being
honored
because
of
her
work
with
the
Cupertino
Historical
Museum.
Last
year
she
began
taking
on
additional
responsibilities,
including
coordinating
the
museum
volunteers,
to
ensure
the
staffing
at
the
two
museum
sites,
often
filling
in
for
herself,
and
she
was
unable
to
find
other
volunteers
and
I
know
she's
called
in
my
husband
a
number
of
times
to
help
out,
and
he
never
turns
her
down.
She's
also
provided
on-site
presentations
to
the
schools
and
senior
groups.
Q
She
solicited
contributions
for
the
museum's
and
has
used
her
accounting
skills
to
keep
track
of
incoming
receipts.
She's
been
a
member
of
the
Cupertino
Historical
Society
for
twenty
years
and
was
instrumental
in
opening
the
museum
in
1990
to
accept
the
award
tonight
is
Jim
Gilmore,
our
new
museum
director.
If
you'll
come
forward.

S
R
E
Seif
the
Cupertino
education
endowment
foundation,
serving
both
as
president
and
board
member
Eleanor,
has
helped
raise
more
than
1.5
million
dollars.
In
1993
alone,
the
funding
paid
for
extended
music
classes,
an
information,
retrieval
system,
books,
materials
and
grants.
She
also
actively
serves
on
the
El
Camino
Hospital
Foundation
Board
for
Eleanor.
It's
very
rewarding
work,
I
think.
A
Q
She
worked
and
raised
close
to
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
school
programs
on
forc'd
she's
been
a
driving
force
behind
the
bridges
program,
which
is
a
parent
education,
Lex

series,
co-sponsored
by
the
Cupertino
Fremont

as
well
as

DeAnza
College
Commission
in
the
U

is
active
on

As
you
can
see,
she
covers
everything
within
Cupertino
and
also
our
surrounding
communities.
Thank
You
