A
Thank
you
for
being
here
tonight.
The
difference
between
a
community
and
a
bunch
of
buildings
is
the
extent
to
which
people
who
live
in
those
buildings
take
responsibility
for
each
other.
Cupertino
is
such
a
wonderful
community
precisely
because
the
people
we
are
honoring
tonight
and
thousands
of
others
take
responsibility
for
each
other.
A
Marian
Wright
Edelman
said
that
service
to
others
is
the
price
you
pay
for
living
on
the
planet,
but
I
think
as
you'll
hear
from
the
people
tonight.
It's
much
more
than
that,
because
it
turns
out
that
in
serving
your
neighbors,
you
get
much
more
back
than
you
spend
I
noticed
that
four
of
those
people
that
were
honoring
tonight
are
associated
with
a
block
leader
program,
and
this
is
a
program
which
encourages
neighbors
to
know
each
other
and
to
work
together
on
issues
of
common
interest.
A
For
example,
an
emergency,
your
first
responder
lives
right
next
door
and
by
the
way
you
are
your
neighbors
first
responder.
So
if
you
haven't
heard
about
the
block
leader
program
or
you
don't
know
who
your
block
leader
is
or
you
don't
have
a
block
leader
just
see
me
or
Laura
Lee?
Who
is
here
tonight
and
we'll
buy
you
dinner
on
on
June
11th
right
here
in
this
building?
And
now
it's
my
honor
to
introduce
the
community's
number-one
volunteer.
Our
honorable
mayor,
dolly
Sandoval.
B
It's
really
my
pleasure
tonight
to
give
you
the
opening
comments
to
our
crest
awards
we're
blessed
in
this
community.
We
have
a
tripod
of
different
people
in
our
community.
We
have
people
who
volunteer
their
time
and
energy
on
a
daily,
a
weekly
or
a
monthly
basis.
We
have
people
in
need
who
need
us
to
volunteer
and
help
them
out,
guide
them,
mentor
them,
and
we
have
people
who
also
help
support
financially
our
efforts
to
help
guide
and
mentor
tonight.
B
B
C
D
43
years
of
living,
working
and
volunteering
in
Cupertino,
Gail
and
Howard
Jensen
need
a
spreadsheet
to
record
their
amazing
list
of
activities.
The
Jensens
partnership
extends
not
only
to
marriage
and
volunteerism,
but
also
to
their
careers
as
educators,
Howard
in
the
San
Jose
Unified
School
District
Gail
in
the
Fremont
Union
High
School
District.
They
are
natural
givers,
even
in
their
retirement.
They
serve
as
student
teaching
supervisors
for
national
university.
The
Cupertino
host
Lions
Club,
has
had
the
benefit
of
their
service
for
over
40
years,
with
the
Jensens
happily
involved.
D
In
such
events
as
the
annual
fish,
a
thon
benefiting
local,
blind
and
disabled
individuals,
Gail
has
been
an
active
member
of
the
Cupertino
quota
club
for
many
years
as
she
and
Howard
have
worked
with
both
clubs
to
provide
clothing
for
needy
American
Indians
in
Arizona
when
Gail
battled
cancer
and
heart
disease.
The
partnership
grew
even
stronger.
As
the
couple
added
two
more
agencies
to
their
lengthy
list
of
volunteer
credits.
B
Okay,
beautiful
so
I
know
Galen
Howard,
primarily
as
my
neighbors,
but
they're
out,
walking
the
block,
making
sure
everybody's
doing
well,
as
you
heard
they're
involved
with
fish
a
Thon's
quota
club
they're,
both
retired
educators.
But
what
you
don't
know
from
the
video
is
that
they
were
both
founders
truly
of
Cupertino.
They
moved
here
to
Cupertino
before
Cupertino
was
an
established
city
and
they
became
pillars
in
our
community
and
real
true
role.
B
Models
of
how
an
active
educated
citizenry
can
have
an
impact
in
this
community
and
as
educators,
Gail
taking
on
the
today's
leaders
tomorrow
or
tomorrow's
leaders.
Today,
growing
educational,
youth,
helping
them
learn,
strategies
and
leadership.
Skills
to
carry
on
in
the
community
both
have
done
just
a
wealth
of
amazing
things
and
I.
Thank
you,
and
so
does
the
council
in
recognition
this
evening.
I
have
a
lot
of
paper
to
give
you
one
in
every
recipient
will
get.
B
This
is
a
proclamation
from
the
County
Board
of
Supervisors,
signed
by
our
supervisor,
Liz
Ness,
another
a
certificate
of
special
congressional
recognition
from
our
Congressman
Mike
Honda,
not
to
be
outdone,
the
California
State
Senate
and
the
California
Assembly
gave
individual
proclamations
and
really
not
to
be
outdone
rather
than
giving
them
a
paper.
Proclamation.
The
city
of
Cupertino
is
honoring.
You
with
our
crest
award
for
2008.
B
B
Heard
parking
was
kind
of
crazy
out
there.
I
tried
to
get
her
early,
so
I
didn't
have
that
issue.
I
was
a
little
worried
with
one
of
our
recipients
who
I
thought
my
bicycle
around
over
this
way,
but
since
I
noticed
that
David
Greenstein
and
his
wife
Cindy
and
their
daughter
Chloe
came
I
figured
they
weren't
all
on
their
bicycles,
but
he
did
get
here.
So
if
we
could,
please
see
the
video
for
David
Greene
sign
our
second
recipient
this
evening.
D
D
The
time
was
well
spent,
as
the
trail
is
now
on
its
way
to
being
built.
David
then
brought
his
calm,
logical
and
persuasive
manner
to
discussion
surrounding
the
Mary
Avenue
footbridge
again
working
to
achieve
the
best
and
most
environmentally
sustainable
solution
for
the
Cupertino
community,
whether
he's
raising
money
for
the
library
campaigning
for
Monta,
Vista
annexation
or
rallying
his
neighbors
as
a
block
layer.
It's
all
about
quality
of
life
for
David
and
when
he
talks
about
protecting
natural
resources
and
opening
pathways
for
walking
and
biking.
B
B
I
think
cupertino,
recognizing
extra
steps
taken
David
started
a
walking
bus
program
for
his
daughter
Chloe
before
she
was
in
school,
though
he
helped
walk
the
neighbors
and
he
still
is
walking
neighbors
to
school,
rather
than
having
their
parents
drive
them
getting
kids.
The
idea
that
walking
is
good
that
reducing
school
traffic
is
good
and
that's
just
a
great
community
event
that
he
started
himself.
B
B
And
is
Chloe
his
young
daughter
knows
it's
not
just
David
doing
the
hard
work
in
their
family,
it's
his
wife,
Cindy
and
his
daughter,
and
that's
what
makes
Cupertino
so
great.
Is
it's
not
just
one
individual
in
one
household
every
so
often
that's
doing
something
good
for
our
community.
It
really
is
a
family
effort.
I'm,
a
little
surprised
you
didn't
bring
the
dog,
though
so
Chloe,
maybe
I,
can
give
you
some
of
these
to
help
your
dad
out.
Would
that
be
okay?
So
here's.
B
E
Mayor
sand
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
and
I'm
I'm
so
honored
to
be
here.
There
are
so
many
people
that
have
been
involved
in
the
community
with
me
over
the
years.
I
have
to
mention
a
couple
of
them
in
the
in
the
bicycle
arena
and
bike
ped
arena
an
Inge
Richard
Lowenthal,
one
of
our
former
mayors,
Don
Burnett
and
Joe
Walton
worked
extensively
and
I'm
so
proud
to
have
an
honor
to
have
worked
with
them
on
the
Stevens
Creek
Trail
Jeanne,
Bradford
and
Richard
Lowenthal
again
on
the
neighborhood.
E
I
worked
on
speed
control
with
rose
Syrio
and
block
leadership
with
Tom,
Dyer
and
George.
Add
such
and
finally,
at
Lincoln.
Elementary
worked
with
principal
Lynn,
Shimada,
Alison,
Sarkis
and
Alex
levy,
and
these
are
the
people
who
they're
all
heroes.
So
I
really
feel
honored
to
represent
all
of
those
people,
because
they
all
can
contribute
to
your
community
and
thank
you
so
much.
B
Alright,
so
the
Jensen
said
that
they
would
pass
on
saying
anything
this
evening
since
I
kind
of
messed
up
there.
Thank
you
for
for
doing
that.
But
I
do
want
to
just
recognize
your
family,
because
you
have
some
close
family
friends
as
well
as
your
daughter
here
at
Yale.
Can
you
stand
up
and
kind
of
point
them
out
for
us.
F
F
You
only
get
to
go
around
once
we
feel
we've
been
blessed,
we've
been
in
cupertino
since
1954
our
parents
were
founders
of
the
PTA
at
Cupertino,
High
School,
and
worked
in
the
first
parade
at
Cupertino
ever
had,
and
also
we
had
the
pleasure
both
of
us
of
working
for
Sam
Lawson
in
the
beginnings
of
the
Parks
and
Rec
program.
It's
not
that
we're
just
old
it's
just
that.
We've
had
a
lot
of
wonderful
experiences
in
the
city
of
Cupertino
and
we'd
like
to
thank
you
all.
B
D
If
it's
true
that
busy
hands
are
happy
hands,
then
Amanda
kuba
must
have
the
Gladys
hands
in
town,
because
her
fingers
are
always
flying
among
hundreds
of
volunteers
at
the
Cupertino
Senior
Center.
She
stands
out
with
those
hands
constantly
in
motion,
whether
she's
fixing
meals
in
the
kitchen
distributing
bingo
cards
or
knitting
for
those
in
need.
D
As
chair
of
the
center's
needlecraft
group,
she
solicits
yard
donations
and
works
with
other
volunteers,
making
baby
blankets
for
teen
mother's
lap,
quilts
for
seniors
and
veterans
and
caps
for
cancer
patients,
true
to
form
a
man
to
begin
leading
the
needle
crafters.
When
the
former
chair
became
too
frail
for
the
job
under
her
direction,
the
little
group
grew
and
found
new
recipients
for
their
handmade
gifts.
D
Amanda
consistently
steps
in
wherever
there
is
a
need,
she's
devoted
18
years
of
service
to
the
Senior
Center.
Last
year
alone,
she
logged
420
hours
of
volunteer
time,
a
member
of
the
center's
Advisory
Council
she's
active
in
planning
special
events
and
heads
both
the
kitchen
crew
and
the
bingo
program.
D
She
openly
shares
her
love
for
cooking
with
those
around
her
warmly
welcoming
helpers
from
many
different
countries
and
when
kitchen
chores
are
done,
she
is
off
to
set
up
for
penny
bingo
an
important
social
activity
for
many
seniors
and
one
that
Amanda
began,
leading
when
the
need
arose
for
a
chairman,
stirring
kitchen
pots
or
figuring
out
bingo
pots.
Whatever
the
job
is,
you
can
bet
Amanda
has
it
well
and.
H
G
While
I,
clearly
qualified
to
be
in
in
the
senior
center
I,
haven't
been
able
to
avail
myself
of
those
services
because
I'm
too
busy
doing
other
things,
but
it's
clear
just
like
with
almost
anything
in
the
community
here.
It's
not
only
the
staff
and
the
city
functions
that
do
that.
It
really
all
the
things
that
we
do
in
a
city
are,
it
can
only
be
done
with
the
help
of
volunteers
and
and
especially
in
the
senior
center
I've
heard.
G
G
G
D
Nobody
is
ever
too
old
to
spread
a
little
joy
and
the
aloha
nanny
hula
dance
group
spreads
that
message
with
swaying,
hips
graceful
hand,
movements
and
intricate
footwork
members
of
the
dance
group
are
from
50
to
80
years
young.
They
perform
at
community
events
such
as
the
Cherry
Blossom
Festival
at
convalescent
hospitals,
retirement
homes,
senior
centers
churches
and
recreation
facilities
last
year,
under
the
direction
of
their
intrepid
director,
Frances
Oda,
the
dancers
entertained
on
35
occasions
for
a
combined
1400
hours
of
volunteer
time,
not
counting
practice
hours.
D
Frances
is
the
motivating
force
behind
Aloha
nanny.
She
choreographs.
The
dances
demonstrates
the
movements
organizes
all
the
bookings
and
prepares
instructional
tapes
for
the
classes
she
teaches
at
the
Cupertino
Senior
Center.
She
also
oversees
the
making
of
the
group's
hula
costumes
the
trademark
muumuus,
the
troupe
sings
and
dances
free
of
charge,
their
music
and
exuberance
capturing
their
audiences
and
transcending
illness
and
loneliness.
A
native
hawaiian
frances
sets
a
joyful
tone
for
the
hula
classes
that
generate
the
dance
group,
patient
and
encouraging
she
works
with
seniors
of
varying
ages
and
physical
abilities.
D
C
G
So
when
I,
when
I
got
the
list
of
crest
awards
recipients
this
year,
I
immediately
said
there's
one
I've
got
to
give
out
and
that's
because
Betty
Sackler
here
raise
your
hand.
Betty
is
the
grandmother
of
Carolyn
and
my
daughter's
so-and-so
I've
known
about
the
the
dances
for
a
long
time
and
been
following
them
at
various
festivals
and
other
events
as
an
interested
observer,
and
they
do
a
great
job,
so
Frances
I'd.
Thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
over
the
over
the
years
with
them
and
really
appreciate
it.
G
And
again
it's
just
another
great
service.
That's
done
through
the
senior
center.
Along
with
you
know
our
previous
recipient
and
just
a
great
effort
to
Cupertino
and
I
know.
In
fact,
Betty
doesn't
live
in
Cupertino,
but
Cupertino
Senior
Center
is
the
place
to
come.
So
that's
great
and
we
love
it
and
you
do
a
great
job.
So
here's
something
for
your.
Thank
you
asking
everything
and
if
you'd
like
to
say
a
few
words
that
was.
H
J
J
These
girls
work
very
hard
in
class
and
we
go
out
to
perform
at
this
of
the
convalescent
hospitals
and
it's
very,
very
nice
and
heartwarming
to
see
these
girls
go
out,
shake
the
hands
of
these
patients
and
it's
just
such
a
warm
feeling
that
they
they
enjoy.
What
they're
doing
and
I
enjoy
what
I'm
doing,
and
we
always
end
with
Hawaii,
Aloha
and
Aloha
oi.
Whenever
we
go
out,
we
sing
and
the
patients
the
retirement
centers.
They
all
appreciate
the
music
that
comes
from
Hawaii.
K
L
L
That's
just
remind
us
that
we
are
all
living
in
such
a
wonderful
community,
we're
surrounded
by
so
many
volunteers
who
could
fit
our
time
there
there
their
efforts
just
to
to
help
the
community
to
be
better
and
better
for
our
generation
and
also
future
generations.
Look
at
all
the
kids
are
sitting
out
front
and
we're
expecting
you
to
be
the
volunteer
in
the
future,
and
tonight
I
get
the
pleasure
to
present
Christ's
word
for
to
couples
what
there
are
couples
but
doesn't
mean
they
only
do
one
set
of
work.
L
D
On
the
calendar,
Thanksgiving
comes
in
November,
but
for
Michael
and
Vivian
Hurley,
the
holiday
happens
all
year-round
for
32
years.
This
caring
couple
has
spent
the
months
preceding
Thanksgiving
and
gathering
up
items
to
fill
food
baskets
for
the
area's
needy
families.
Their
efforts
are
key
to
the
success
of
the
annual
Thanksgiving
basket
outreach
program
sponsored
by
st.
Joseph
of
Cupertino
Church
in
conjunction
with
West
Valley
Community
Services,
the
Hurley's
begin
by
organizing
food
drives
at
st.
Joseph's,
Parish
and
school.
D
They
maintain
inventory
publicize
the
drive
and
direct
the
collection
of
apple
boxes
from
local
grocery
stores.
These
serve
as
the
food
basket
containers.
Last
year,
the
food
drive
generated
enough
for
more
than
200
baskets,
each
one
consisting
of
two
box
halves
loaded
with
at
least
a
12
pound.
Turkey
fresh
produce,
stuffing
mashed,
potatoes,
yams,
pumpkin
canned
vegetables,
cereal
and
more
everything
needed
for
a
complete
Thanksgiving
dinner
and
a
few
meals
afterwards
to
countless
hours
go
into
this
endeavor.
D
But
these
two
longtime
Cupertino
residents
always
find
time
to
oversee
every
aspect
of
it,
from
coordinating
with
local
vendors
and
purchasing
perishable
items,
to
scheduling
the
cadre
of
volunteers
needed
to
assemble
the
baskets
and
deliver
them
in
time
for
Thanksgiving.
Lots
of
families
enjoy
holiday
traditions
for
Michael
and
Vivian
Hurley.
The
tradition
of
community
service
began
more
than
three
decades
ago,
and
it's
still
going
strong.
L
As
we
say
earlier,
volunteers
not
just
do
once
a
few
times
but
consistently
for
more
than
30
years.
That's
really
a
big
extra
step
that
you
have
taken
we're
honored
to
have
you
folks
here
in
helping
the
community.
So
you
know
one
of
you
wanted
to
come
up
here.
Give
us
a
more
detailed
about
I
know.
You
know,
I
feel
guilty.
Could
I'd
never
done
that,
but
I
don't
hear
more
about
it.
So
I
can
follow
your
footstep
I
know
it's
not
easy
that
consistently
do
it.
L
F
I
You
I,
don't
know
about
sharing
a
little
bit
of
that,
but
what
I
want
to
do
is
to
thank
you
for
the
special
recognition
and
to
share
that
with
st.
joseph´s
Parish.
You
know:
we've
been
working
with
the
baskets
for
30
years,
but
st.
joseph´s
has
been
supporting
them
for
30
years.
This
Thanksgiving
baskets
are
a
parish
event.
I
We
organize
it,
but
the
Persians
come
together
and
they
make
it
happen.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this
award.
You
know
we
work
a
lot
with
just
getting
everything
that
is
needed,
but
it's
the
parish.
That
is
important.
So
we
want
to
thank
st.
Joseph's
for
their
commitment
to
this
out
each
program
and
I'm
going
to
just
thank
you
for
this
award.
M
M
Just
want
to
reiterate
what
Vivian
has
said
that
the
Troon
is
a
tremendous
support
of
the
program
from
st.
joseph´s
of
the
generous
donation
of
food
money
and
the
whole
bunch
of
volunteers
that
come
the
weekend
before
Thanksgiving
to
prepare
the
baskets.
You
know,
as
it
was
said,
he
said,
each
family
gets
two
boxes
of
food
and
that's
a
lot
of
food
also
want
to
recognize
the
merchants
of
Cupertino
who
have
assisted
us
each
year
in
for
obtaining
the
turkeys,
the
produce,
the
big
baked
goods
and
perishable
goods.
M
Also,
although
this
award,
you
know
it,
both
avian
are
named
on
the
ward
Vivian
has
been
the
real
driver
that
who
has
taken
this
program
from
where
it
was
30
years
ago.
30
years
ago,
there
was
a
couple:
we
helped
a
couple
of
families
in
the
st.
Joseph
parish,
she's,
driven
it
to
the
point
now
that
we
help
over
200
families
through
the
throughout
the
Cupertino
West
Valley
area
and
like
we
would
like
to
express
our
thanks
to
the
City
Council
and
the
city
of
Cupertino
for
this
award.
Thank
you.
L
D
Jack
and
Donna
Van
Shack
may
belong
to
the
Friends
of
the
Cupertino
library
group,
but
they'd
be
better
described
as
boon
companions
of
the
library.
This
dedicated
couple
has
been
members
of
the
Friends
for
as
long
as
they've
lived
in
Cupertino
more
than
30
years.
During
that
time,
they've
done
everything
from
serving
homemade
cookies
at
monthly
meetings
to
redesigning
office
areas.
Donna
has
volunteered
every
week
at
the
library
for
more
than
20
years
she
sorts
materials
on
book
trucks,
so
the
library
staff
can
get
them
quickly
back
on
the
shelves.
D
A
useful
task,
considering
more
than
two
and
a
half
million
items
were
checked
out
of
the
library.
Last
year,
the
membership
chairman
of
the
friends
for
two
decades
Donna
also
served
as
hospitality
chair
for
ten
years
until
Jack
took
over
that
job,
a
vital
participant
in
the
group's
fundraising
book
sales
Jack
helped
set
up
the
events
and
has
hatched
several
ideas
for
saving
workers,
time
and
energy.
Throughout
the
years
he
freely
shares
his
organizational
skills
and
willingly
takes
on
any
project
that
benefits
the
smooth
operation
of
the
library.
D
Both
Jack
and
Donna
prefer
to
work
behind
the
scenes,
doing
what
needs
to
be
done
in
a
selfless
and
unassuming
way.
Their
desire
to
help
is
deeply
ingrained
and
the
library
staff
sees
their
volunteer
work
as
a
special
gift
to
the
community.
Without
a
doubt,
the
van
shacks
share
a
special
bond
with
the
Cupertino
library
and
when
you
total
all
the
hours
this
couple
has
devoted
in
service
to
that
facility.
It's
very
clear
that
they
are
friends
indeed.
L
So
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
friends
of
libraries
here.
The
members
here
you
want
to
raise
your
hand.
I
know.
Quite
a
few
of
you
here.
I
wish.
We
can
recognize
every
single
one
of
you.
I
know
the
library
really,
you
know,
use
a
lot
of
your
help
and
and
and
we
can't
recognize
everyone
it
but
I-
know
Donna
and
Jackie.
You
have
done
a
lot,
I
mean
20-some
years
Donna.
L
You
have
work
in
a
library,
and
maybe
you
want
to
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
do
we
decimal
classification
and
try
to
get
that
in
rate
and
Jack
I
know
also,
you
helped
a
lot
and
that's
not
just
easy.
Where
some
attacks
is,
you
had
to
use
your
organizational
or
practical
skills
and
to
really
make
it
as
working
for
the
library.
Last
night
council
was
reviewing
the
budget
and
it
was
a
tight
budget
of
still
unanimously.
We
approved
the
other
ear
of
a
Monday
supporting
open
seven
days
a
week,
but
that's
not
enough.
L
That
just
not
enough,
that's
just
only
to
get
ours,
we
need
a
lot
of
volunteer
to
help
in
the
library
and
and
our
library
is
probably
the
most
busy
libraries
in
the
county
system.
Still
so
I
can't
catch
up
the
numbers
I
know
every
day
the
update
was
new
numbers.
High
rack
numbers
have
visitors,
and
you
know
so
library
users
keep
going
high.
So
this
is
our
our
pride
and
also
the
volunteers,
like
you,
folks,
are
doing
all
the
work
for
us
and
thank
you
so
much
so.
Here's
the
proclamation
from.
N
L
O
Thank
you
very.
Thank
you
very
much.
It's
my
honor
to
be
here
on
tonight.
Actually,
I
was
here
three
years
ago.
Being
an
honoree,
so
I
know
the
ten
folks
who
receive
it
tonight
must
be
a
little
bit
nervous
but
excited
because
you
have
all
your
friends
and
family
out
here
tonight,
I'm
very
proud
to
present
two
very
special
on
people,
one
who's
very
young
and
enthusiastic
and
one
who
has
been
working
very
hard
in
the
community.
D
More
than
300
Cupertino
residents
are
better
prepared
for
an
emergency.
Today,
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
one
very
motivated
high
school
student,
it
wasn't
enough
for
Monta
Vista
High
School
senior,
Chrissy
panada
to
form
a
club
called
high
schoolers
for
a
better
community.
He
wanted
to
invest
some
sweat
equity
in
the
group
with
real
service
projects.
When
the
city's
office
of
emergency
service
suggested
the
club
passed
out
flyers
to
promote
personal
preparedness
workshops,
it
still
wasn't
enough.
He
rounded
up
his
twenty
Club
members
and
they
attended
the
three-hour
workshop
themselves.
D
So
they
could
answer
basic
questions
about
the
training.
The
first
weekend
they
passed
out
200
flyers
in
two
hours
and
were
back
on
the
streets
for
successive
weekends
attendance
in
the
workshops,
increased
20%.
Yet
it
still
wasn't
enough
for
Chris.
She,
his
interest
and
commitment
to
emergency
preparedness
led
him
to
develop
and
coordinate
personal
preparedness,
mini
trainings
for
neighborhood
block
parties.
Soon
the
student-led
presentations
were
so
successful.
Bloc
leaders
started
calling
to
schedule
the
group
under
Chrissy's
guidance,
the
club
also
volunteers,
with
trail
maintenance
on
weekends,
pruning
trees,
leveling
and
clearing
local
pathways.
D
O
O
Also,
as
you
know,
he's
also
a
high
school
student
at
Monte,
Vista,
High
School,
and
he
also
started
an
organization
called
the
high
school
for
a
better
community
right
now
he
is
a
senior
and
he
has
left
organization
that
what
I
heard
from
early
to
a
very
good
person,
which
is
your
brother
who's,
going
to
be
the
incoming
president,
so
he's
already
preparing
for
the
next
generation.
With
that.
As
my
fellow
council
member
said
that
we
have
both
county
state
and
federal
proclamations
and
the
most
important
is
on
the
Cupertino
crest
award.
P
Well,
thank
you
councilmember
Wong
and
the
rest
of
the
mayor
and
the
City
Council
for
presenting
me
with
this
award
tonight.
It
really
is
a
great
joy
and
pleasure
to
accept
this
award
on
behalf
of
all
the
members
of
high
schooler's
for
a
better
community
or
hsf
BC,
and
it
really
is
quite
amazing
to
see
how
far
we've
come
in
two
years.
I
know
they
did
a
great
job
with
that
video
kind
of
showing
how
that
happened.
P
I
think
this
award
really
recognizes
the
passion,
the
dedication,
the
teamwork,
leadership
and
hard
work
of
all
of
the
members
of
hsf
BC.
You've
done
such
a
phenomenal
job,
and
we
are
successes
tonight
to
several
people
who
I
really
wanted
to
take
the
time
to
thank
first
of
all,
thank
you
to
Marsha,
javi
and
Ken
Erickson.
Thank
you
so
much
for
providing
us
with
there's
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
serve
our
own
residents
and
to
prepare
our
own
communities.
P
Thank
you,
Tom
Dyer,
for
inspiring
us
from
the
very
beginning
and
showing
us
that
high
school
students
can
really
make
a
difference,
and
thank
you
to
mr.
ebbing
or
wonderful
advisor
for
believing
in
us
and
guiding
us,
and
thank
you
to
mr.
Hamilton,
another
teacher
of
mine
who
now
works
in
the
administration
for
making
disaster
preparedness.
Such
a
vital
part
of
Monta
Vista
High
School.
P
As
we
tried
to
strive
to
introduce
disaster
preparedness
into
the
curriculum
in
touch
and
I'd
like
to
thank
you
again
for
for
presenting
me
with
this
award
and
I'd
like
to
wish
a
quanti,
Soria,
Kashyyyk
Turan
and
the
rest
of
the
new
HSN
BC
officer
team.
The
best
of
luck
in
moving
this
club
forward.
Thanks
again.
O
Q
D
Voices
on
the
other
end
of
the
telephone
line
may
be
young
or
old.
They
may
be
heavily
accented
or
carry
no
trace
of
another
language.
The
voices
may
be
barely
audible,
they
may
be
ear-splitting,
but
they
are
always
desperate
and
always
in
need
of
someone
to
listen
for
nearly
30
years
that
someone
has
been
kay
Roberts
a
volunteer
crisis
counselor
for
the
support
network
for
battered
women.
Thus
cupertino
resident
is
no
stranger
to
the
sad
and
traumatic
stories
of
abuse
women.
D
She
absorbs
them
all
with
compassion
and
calm,
listening,
encouraging
and
in
the
end,
hopefully
guiding
her
callers
toward
a
path
of
safety
and
security.
A
former
teacher
cases
the
calls
she
feels
can
last
a
few
minutes
or
go
on
for
an
hour.
She
agonizes
over
those
whose
fear
causes
them
to
hang
up
before
she
can
help
them
and
she
rejoices
with
those
who
overcome
their
terrors
and
move
on
to
better
lives.
Kay's
volunteer
efforts
have
touched
many
of
the
areas
women
in
need
for
several
years.
D
She
helped
out
at
the
career
closet,
assisting
those
going
on
job
interviews
to
find
appropriate
clothing
among
racks
have
donated
apparel.
She
also
volunteers
as
a
yoga
instructor,
a
special
interest
of
hers
for
the
past
25
years
and
is
a
member
of
the
quota
Club
of
Cupertino,
a
service
organization
for
professional
women
in
1996,
Kay
carried
the
Olympic
torch
today,
her
torch
burns
brightly
for
those
whose
lives
have
been
shattered
lives.
She
is
dedicated
to
mending.
O
It's
my
honor
to
present
on
to
Kay
Roberts
on
this
award.
As
you
know,
ki
Roberts
has
been
really
active
in
the
quota.
Club
and
I
see
that
a
lot
of
her
friends
from
the
quota
Club
is
here
tonight
to
support
her,
but
not
only
being
active
in
a
closed
Club,
but
as
the
tape
world,
you
know
both
the
old
and
the
young,
but
I
think
that
she's
very
young
and
very
active
I'm
really
excited
that
one
of
her
passion
is
regarding
battered
women.
O
This
is
something
that
is
very
sensitive
and,
as
you
can
tell
in
the
tape
that
she
is
a
very
good
listener
and
wanted
to
help
the
folks
who
are
a
little
bit
less
unfortunate,
we're
really
happy
tonight.
She
also
have
her
daughter
and
to
be
with
her
tonight
for
this
very
special
occasion
and
again,
there's
four
proclamations
from
the
county,
federal
and
state,
and
the
most
important
is,
of
course,
the
covenant
crest
award.
Q
I
feel
like
an
Academy
Award
winner,
I
know.
I'll
forget
somebody.
I
have
left
my
husband
in
bed
with
a
root
canal
he's
so
sorry
not
to
be
here
tonight.
We
both
planned
to
do
this
together
and
I,
do
have
a
daughter
in
New,
York
and
I.
Have
a
daughter
in
Massachusetts
and
I
know
there
with
me
in
spirits.
I
want
to
thank
the
support
network
for
battered
women
staff,
members
and
and
friends
for
being
here
tonight.
Q
Q
Do
this
with
love
I
I,
never
charge
it's
just
with
love
and
I
would
like
to
thank
my
quota
friends,
who
are
here
tonight,
lovely
to
see
you
and
my
neighborhood
friends
and
I
I'm,
so
glad
that
my
church
friends
are
here
too
a
lot
of
love
right
now,
I,
especially
like
to
thank
Carol
and
Frank
bun
cell.
The
reason
I'm
here
tonight,
Thank
You,
Carol.
R
D
In
cupertino
and
opportunity
knocks
it's
probably
Chuck
Worley
wrapping
his
knuckles
on
your
front
door
for
more
than
five
years,
chuck
has
been
introducing
himself
to
his
neighbors,
giving
everyone
the
opportunity
to
meet
one
another
to
work
toward
common
goals
and,
most
importantly,
to
keep
each
other.
Safe.
Chuck
is
one
of
the
city's
most
enthusiastic
and
successful
block
leaders,
a
volunteer
who
connects
neighbors.
D
Into
the
city,
through
programs
like
neighborhood,
watch
and
emergency
preparedness,
he
began
knocking
on
the
doors
of
the
twelve
homes
on
his
own
Street
Flintshire
Drive.
Soon
he
was
expanding
his
territory
approaching
residents
on
surrounding
streets.
Today
he
is
head
leader
of
about
60
homes,
covering
six
city
streets,
wonderfully
organized
and
deeply
passionate.
This
neighborhood
leader
has
coordinated
block
parties
and
neighborhood
watch
meetings,
recruited
and
mentored
new
block
leaders,
assisted
in
training
sessions
and
spearheaded
neighborhood
beautification
projects,
and
he
still
has
time
for
a
20-hour,
cert
training
course.
D
A
former
engineer
who
spent
25
years
in
the
semiconductor
industry
Chuck,
enjoys
the
challenge
of
bringing
people
together
for
a
common
cause
in
today's
world,
earning
the
trust
of
strangers
and
engaging
them
in
community
activities
isn't
always
easy,
but
for
Chuck
Worley,
a
master
of
leading
by
example.
Sometimes
it's
as
simple
as
a
knock
on
the
front
door.
R
Chuck
come
on
I
know,
you're,
not
shy.
You
can
well
Chuck's
on
his
way
up
here.
That
was
a
wonderful
tape.
I
had
all
these
things,
I
was
gonna
say
about
the
fact
that
I
was
at
the
cert
training
this
last
year,
which
I,
graduated
and
I
was
surprised
to
see
him
there
because
I
seen
him
just
before
that
at
a
block
later
meeting.
R
So
since
that's
all
covered
in
the
five
years,
he
spent
there
and
he
was
gonna-
make
a
bad
joke
about
being
an
engineer,
but
I
guess
I'll
go
on
with
a
few
other
things.
Chuck
has
built
a
block
later
empire
in
his
five
years.
I
think
I'm
I
think
he's
probably
got
his
map
in
his
back
pocket
because
I've
never
seen
him
without
and
if
anybody
asked
he's
got
his
block
leader
map
there
and
ready
to
go
he's
a
very
big
driving
force
for
the
block
leader.
R
So
if
there's
ever
a
and
I
encourage
all
you
to
get
involved
with
that
by
the
way
it's
a
wonderful
program
Chuck
and
talked
about
it
a
lot
better
than
me,
but
Chuck
I've.
Every
time
there's
a
black
leader
thing
going
on
he's.
There
he's
encouraging
people
to
join.
He
started
out
by
knocking
on
a
few
neighbors
doors,
and
he
just
he
was
persistent,
he's
he's
a
great
mentor
for
the
new
rock
leader
is
explaining
to
him.
R
You
know,
don't
give
up
just
be
polite,
keep
showing
him
the
list,
keep
knocking
on
the
doors
and
keep
trying,
and
he's
certainly
done
that
you
could
tell
by
the
number
of
people
that
are
involved
in
his
group.
I
asked
Laura
Lee.
If
she
had
one
thing
to
say
about
Chuck,
what
would
she
say-
and
she
said
well,
Chuck-
is
the
epitome
of
what
a
block
leader
should
be,
and
I
wholly
concur
with
that.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
give
you
all
the
other
good
awards
everyone's
mentioned
once
before,
but
I
don't
know.
R
If
all
of
you
know
how
impressive
this
is,
but
I've
never
Sene
for
any
group
of
people,
so
many
different
awards
from
so
many
organizations.
Normally
people
hold
up
one
and
it's
a
big
deal
so
we're
just
giving
them
out
as
a
pile
but
they're
very
prestigious
and
of
course
we
always
show
the
nicest
one.
Last.
S
S
Not
always
she
deserves
more
recognition
than
I
do.
Last
week,
I'm
gonna
spill
the
beans.
Here
last
week
she
was
honored
down
at
the
city
of
San
Jose's
Kelly
Park,
the
Historical
Park,
where
the
one-room
schoolhouse
has
a
board
or
a
plaque
or
something
where
they
honor
honored
teachers,
and
she
got
her
name
on
a
brass
plaque
last
week
and
I
was
there
for
her
recognition
for
being
a
teacher
for
20
years
and
also
the
past
president
of
Santa
Clara
reading
council,
so
she's,
the
one
that
deserve
the
recognition
and
also
my
stepson,
her
son.
S
More
so
he's
in
the
army,
he's
just
got
his
wings
he's
a
Blackhawk
pilot
and
he's
in
training,
and
shortly
he's
going
to
go
over
in-service
time
for
this
country.
He
deserves
a
far
more
than
I.
Do
the
guys
in
the
military
deserve
it
for
more
than
I
do,
and
then
we
have
one
more.
The
Future
Leaders
Shawn
stand
up
my
stepson
Shawn
Mary
Jo
son
Shawn,
Shawn
Sullivan.
He.
S
D
Stuart
Chesson
believes
in
taking
care
of
people
that
much
is
evident
and
the
volunteer
work
he
is
done
within
the
city.
Since
1998
many
of
the
hundreds
of
hours
he
has
given
to
the
community
have
been
spent
improving
cupertino,
x'
emergency
response
programs
as
a
neighborhood
block
leader.
He
builds
a
sense
of
community
while
sharing
emergency
preparedness
information
with
those
around
him.
As
a
member
of
cares
party,
no
amateur
radio,
emergency
services,
Stuart
works
to
facilitate
the
flow
of
two-way
communications
between
the
city
and
the
club.
D
He's
a
member
of
the
Sheriff's
Office
volunteer
search
team,
and
he
willingly
takes
responsibility
for
ham
radio
operations
at
citywide
special
events.
During
the
fourth
of
July
fireworks
program,
he
managed
an
assigned
50
volunteers
from
five
cities
at
four
different
venues
throughout
Cupertino
last
year.
Stuart
also
served
as
the
incident
commander
for
a
three
hour:
emergency
exercise
for
cert
cupertino,
emergency
response
team.
His
efforts
included,
volunteer
staffing
of
the
event,
logistics,
staging
and
promotion.
D
A
natural
leader
Stuart
is
active
in
cupertino
citizen
Corps
and
continues
his
tireless
support
of
local
schools,
even
though
his
three
daughters
are
now
grown
stricken
with
cancer.
Four
years
ago,
he
never
faltered
in
his
work
for
others.
Today.
He
also
donates
time
to
the
Cupertino
American
Cancer
Society's
Relay
for
Life
and
the
Lance
Armstrong
bicycle
relay.
R
You
know
I
find
it
very
interesting
that
that
all
the
people
here
tonight
that
we're
honoring
all
get
up
there
and
tell
you
what
all
the
other
people
have
done.
I
think
that's
important.
We
should
all
take
note
of
that
when
I
first
met
Stuart,
who
has
some
other
very
active
members
of
his
family,
his
wife
works
with
the
with
the
city
and
his
mother-in-law
is
very
involved
and
writes
on
local
paper
and
they're
they're
much
more
outspoken
than
Stuart.
Who
you
hard
to
get
a
word
edgewise.
R
They
said
Stuart's
really
impressive.
Just
where
do
you
get
to
know
Stuart
and
over
time
it's
like
I,
first
learned
from
Stuart
what
an
ark
was.
I
just
thought
it
was
a
big
boat,
but
for
those
of
you
don't
know,
we
have
arks
throughout
the
city
which
store
equipment
and
supplies
in
case
of
emergencies
and
Stuart
is
the
person
responsible
for
his
local
art
so
well,
that's
pretty
impressive.
I
later
learned
that
he's
been
cert
trained
and
so
I
said
good.
R
If
I
ever
get
injured,
he's
the
guy
to
see
he's
a
ham
radio
operator
he's
when
there's
any
type
of
emergency
or
something
he's
one
of
the
people
that
pass
information
around
in
case
things
get
broken.
Then
I
learned
he's
been
doing
all
of
this
while
he
was
fighting
cancer,
I'm
happy
to
say,
he's
healthy
enough
doing
well,
today,
just
a
very
impressive
guy
in
in
all
respects
and
every
time
I
go
to
some
event
in
the
city.
R
You
know
Stuart's
there
and
he's
kind
of
behind
the
scenes,
he's
not
saying
anything
he's
not
out
in
front
but
he's
making
sure
things
are
going
well
and
everybody's,
ok
and
stuff,
like
that.
I
think
with
regards
to
the
city,
Marsha
Hovey
said
it
best.
He
said
Stuart
believes
in
this
city.
So
thank
you
very
much
for.
R
T
Well,
thank
you,
Mark
and
thank
you
City
Council,
for
this
award.
I
guess
it
must
rub
off,
because
my
dad
who's
here
and
my
mom
were
very
active
in
supporting
the
community.
So,
hopefully
it
passes
on
to
my
kids
as
well
that
they'll
help
and
and
I
think
they've
been
leading
that
way,
being
leaders
and
and
getting
other
people
involved
in
volunteering
and
all
sorts
of
activities
and
I
want
to
thank
my
wife.
T
Debbie
he's
been
active
and
almost
half
the
things
I
do
at
least,
if
not
more
and
steering
me
right,
or
at
least
holding
down
the
home
fort
when
I'm
off
volunteering
I
also
want
to
thank
Marcia
Hovey
who's.
Given
us
such
resources
for
the
office
of
emergency
services
with
cares,
the
amateur
radio
and
the
cert,
the
emergency
response
team
and
the
Medical
Reserve
Corps
they've
really
helped
us
coordinate
like
before
for
July
working
with
the
city,
so
to
make
sure
that's
a
real
safe
event.
T
Also,
the
block
leader,
Laura
Lee,
helping
us
making
sure
we
got
to
know
our
neighbors
so
that
you
can
learn
the
special
interests
and
and
skills
that
people
have
that
you're
just
living
right
next
door
to
you
and
in
an
emergency
they
would
be
there
and
also
because
I
remember
in
the
89
quake.
You
just
stood
out
there
and
didn't
know
what
to
do,
and
you
start
putting
things
together
as
neighbors
and
and
hopefully
we
never
have
to
do
that
again.
T
But
if
we
have
to
we'll
be
there
and
then
also
I
want
to
thank
the
Turner
in
the
bands
we
that
committee
and
the
volunteers
and
friends
and
family
of
the
students
we
bring
in
25
different
high
schools
in
the
compete
and
help
raise
funds
for
musics
programs.
So
it's
a
real
beneficial
program,
so
I
want
to
thank
everyone.
It
just
takes
a
whole
group
of
support
people
to
to
get
things
accomplished
and
I
I
appreciate.
Everybody
was
helped.
R
So
I
was
over
at
City
Hall
just
before
5:00
and
laura-leigh
had
sent
an
email
to
Stuart
to
ask
him
to
do
yet
another
task
and
he
said
I'd
get
right
on
it,
but
I
kind
of
get
ready
for
tonight
can
I.
Do
it
first
thing
in
the
morning,
so
that's
how
busy
the
guy
is
anyway.
I'd
like
to
thank
you
all
for
coming.
I
would
especially
like
to
thank
our
recipients.
B
How
many
of
you
had
never
heard
of
the
block
leader
program
before
this
evening
raise
your
hands?
Okay,
Laurel
idea,
those
paper
pieces
of
paper
to
hand
out
to
them.
Well,
all
of
you
thought
we
were
really
just
honoring
crest,
remember,
crest,
honorees!
We
really
won't
got
you
in
here
to
maybe
become
a
block
leader.
B
It
is
really
a
fabulous
program.
I
fell
in
love
with
the
program
when
I
got
elected
to
the
council
back
in
2001
and
truly.
If
you
would
like
to
be
active
on
a
very
local
level
on
your
city
block,
please
contact
one
of
us
about
growing
this
program.
We
can
always
use
more
support
right
there
in
our
neighborhoods.
B
We
all
know
and
recognize
that
JFK
quote.
That
said,
ask
not
what
your
country
can
do
for
you,
but
what
you
can
do
for
your
country
and
what
we've
seen
here
this
evening
is
not
what
people
are
doing
just
for
their
country,
but
again
on
a
very
localized
level,
what
they
can
do
for
the
city
of
Cupertino,
the
residents
are
neighbors
the
City
Council
honors
you
and
appreciates
you.
We
have
an
active
engaged,
educated
citizenry
that
we
should
appreciate.
B
B
Thank
you.
If
you
were
on
the
application
site,
pushing
some
paperwork
to
enter
someone
this
evening.
Thank
you.
If
you
were
an
honoree.
Thank
you.
If
you're
just
part
of
the
support
team
that
helps
people
in
our
community
volunteer
for
the
help
of
others,
it
truly
is
what
makes
Cupertino
great
Mahalo.
