D
This

part
community
service
we
serve.
We
work
with
seniors
everyone's
moved
with
the
JW

next
to
Kaiser
hospital,
dudes
dinners
for
cancer
patients
and
rebuilding
Together.
The
our
last
project
was
we
for
senior
citizen
Cupertino.
We
had
over
75
volunteers
and
we
did
a
facelift
of
the
house
inside
and
outside
on
the
community
service
side.
We
have
pumpkin
carvers
every
Halloween
for

We
support
our
daily
bread,
which
does
meals
for
the
homeless
and
then
every
Thanksgiving.
D
We
provided
over
500
meals
to
120
different
families
that
were
delivered
on
thanksgiving
day
by
Rotarian
volunteers
on
their
youth
services
side
that
we
work
with
the
local
Scouts.
We
have
a
dr.
Seuss
reading
Day,
which
is
coming
up
operation
on
snowflake,
which
has
done
up
at
camp
Costa

50
volunteers,
making
their
own
snow
paths
for
about
75
yards
for
a
fun
day
of
sledding,
and
we
also
have
our
annual

D
Serving
youth
we
have
you
know
our
annual
speech

back-to-school
shopping
there
and
Christmas
time
we
took
96
children
shopping
and
provide
them
with
clothing,
shoes,
backpacks
and
school
supplies
in
the
locational
impact
that
we
have
is
students
seeking
a
degrees,
bachelor
degrees
and
the
middle

learn
about
computers.
How
to
set
up.
I
pads
blog
access
servers
in
the
middle
school
program,
Career
Guidance.
We
do
teacher
mini
grants
and
vocational
on
the
international
service
side.
D
This
year
we
have
an
annual
golf
tournament
with
the
recipient
for
$25,000,
and
this
year
our
Golf
recipient
is
the
marine
science
institute,
they're
located
in
redwood
city
since
2015.
They
have
educated
and
worked
with
3,500
Cupertino
students
and
over
300
ult's
teachers
and
chaperones.
So
it
does
support
the
community
in
a
very
big
way.
D
F
Well,
as
I
said,
it's
it's
my
great
honor
and
privilege
to
be
here
to
welcome
you
here
to
the
2018
State
of
the
City
address.
My
job
would
not
be
even
close
to
possible
without
the
wonderful
volunteers
serving
on
the
board
of
directors
in
the
chamber.
Staff
I
cannot
tell
you
how
much
tireless
work
that
they
put
into
helping
our
community
with
the
Board
of
members
and
staff.
Please
stand
and
I'm.
Looking
for
my
oh
good,
somebody
does
the
slight
advancing
I
appreciate
it.
F
So
VP
of
Finance
is
Keith
Warner.
Please
stand
one
clap
for
we'll
keep
it
close.

F
The
mission
of
the
chamber
we,
we
took
a
look
as
a
board
of
directors
and
look
to
renew
it
for
2018.
There's
a
lot,
that's
new
with
the
chamber
this
year.
It
starts
with
our
logo,
which
I'm
still
very,
very
proud
of.
We
selected
it
last
year
under
the
leadership
of
Keith,
but
the
chamber
works
with
government
education
and
private
industry
to
assist
in
strengthen
local
businesses
to
be
an
advocate
for
a
vibrant,
sustainable
and
healthy
economy
and
community.
F
It's
very
important
to
us
and
as
we
look
at
everything
that
we
do
going
forward,
that
will
be
part
of
fitting
in
with
that
mission,
we're
spot
we're
supported
by
a
number
of
wonderful
companies
up
there,
and
you
can-
and
many
of
you
will
see
your
logos
up
there
and
I
think
it's.
It
goes
to
a
statement
about
how
vibrant
our
community
is
and
how
many
different
types
of
businesses
they
are
we're
literally
blessed
with
the
largest
company
in
the
world,
down
to
single
member
companies
and
I.
F
Think
that
really
gives
us
a
very
unique
context
as
we
look
at
how
we
can
support
the
community.
So
our
priorities
for
2018
are
very
clear
for
us
and
I'm
very
excited
to
talk
about
it
with
you.
So
first
and
foremost
support
local
businesses
and
I
will
go
into
that.
Just
a
couple
statements
in
that
in
a
second.
The
second
is
to
improve
transportation.
F
The
third
is
to
support
housing
and
redevelopment,
so
the
chamber
has
over
250
members
that
spans
many
industries
and
home-based
businesses,
our
members
employ
over
45,000
employees.
Our
local
businesses
needs
your
help
and
support,
though,
without
everybody
going
to
the
businesses
to
eat
at
night
to
drink,
to
get
your
dry
cleaning
done.
F
Those
are
the
businesses
that
depend
on
all
of
us,
and
especially
in
today's
day
and
age,
when
there
is
so
much
competition
from
alternative
sources.
Alternative
sources
such
as
Amazon
alternatives
such
as
other
communities
that
are
close
by
that
people
can
go
to.
We
are
always
in
a
competition
for
for
people
to
come
in
and
stay
in
our
community.
The
community
has
expressed
a
desire
to
encourage
a
more
active
nightlife,
we'll
be
working
with
the
City
Council
to
come
with
up
with
ideas
to
increase
customer
traffic.
F
Next
slide.
Please
improve
transportation
and
there's
some
very
interesting
photos
up
there.
But
I
want
to
talk
about
this
for
a
second,
the
number
of
employees
may
be
approaching
double
that
of
downtown
San
Jose
when
Cupertino
and
Mountain
View
are
added
together.
In
fact,
if
we
added
Sunnyvale,
we
might
be
getting
close
to
triple
that.
We
need
a
new
model
going
forward
and
we
highlight
here
a
couple
different
sources
or
types
of
transportation
that
we
can
study
as
a
community.
F
This
is
something
very
near
and
dear
to
my
personal
heart
right
I'm,
not
a
longtime
resident
of
Cupertino
I'm,
a
beginning
resident
of
Cupertino,
so
I
came
in
at
a
different
part
of
the
cycle
than
many
of
you
have
come
in
at
right.
Many
of
you
that
have
been
here
a
long
time
have
enjoyed
a
very
significant
uplift
in
your
home
prices.
Well
guess
what
the
price
of
a
the
median
home!
This
is
not!
You
know.
F
This
is
the
median
home,
so
there's
homes
a
lot
more
expensive
there,
some
of
they're
cheaper
or
almost
2.2
million
dollars,
2.2
million
dollars.
If
somebody
has
to
come
in
and
get
a
mortgage
for
that
and
pay
the
principal
interest,
property
tax
and
homeowners
insurance.
This
is
according
to
Zillow
and
redfin.
That
price
would
be
approximately
eleven
thousand
dollars
per
month.
Okay,
that
means
you
have
to
have
cash
of
eleven
thousand
dollars
per
month.
F
Well,
let's
look
at
what
the
required
annual
income
is
and
I
want
to
highlight
something
here,
so
the
required
annual
income
would
be
four
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
which
that
that
number
DTI
stands
for
debt
to
income
ratio.
Now
it
puts
you
at
a
thirty
seven
percent
debt
to
income
ratio
which
look
at
the
words
it
says
likely
eligible
for
a
more
new
mortgage.
Not
you
guaranteed
likely
agile
eligible,
but
you
won't
have
a
lot
of
income
left
over
for
non
housing
expenses.
Okay,
that
impacts
the
local
businesses
that
also
impacts.
F
Importantly,
our
schools,
because
who
fresh
out
of
college,
who,
even
in
their
late
20s
with
two
incomes,
even
is
making
over
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
cash.
They
can
contribute
to
a
mortgage
right,
that's
a
lot
of
money.
So
this
is
a
real
issue
that
we
have
to
solve
and
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
part
of
what
we
need
to
do:
I'm
a
I'm,
an
economics
minor
and
I'm,
a
big
believer
in
supply
and
demand.
So
we
need
to
increase
the
supply.
F
We
need
to
work
with
our
developers
in
order
to
make
a
difference
in
the
supply
of
housing
stock
in
our
community.
I'll
just
highlight
the
in
in
San
Jose
Merrill
Accardo
just
announced
that
he
would
like
to
add
twenty
five
thousand
new
units
with
ten
thousand
quote-unquote,
because
he
realizes
affordable
as
affordable
depends
on
what
type
of
major
you're
talking
about,
but
ten
thousand
affordable.
F
So
that
means
lower
cost
than
it
would
for
regular
homes,
okay
and
so
I
think
that's
something
that
we
as
a
community
really
need
to
engage
in
that
discussion
in
order
to
create
the
proper
incentives
to
allow
that
housing
stock
to
get
refreshed
in
this
community,
keep
our
schools
vibrant,
keep
our
businesses
vibrant
and
allow
some
people
that
would
like
to
live
in
a
house
here.
The
ability
to
afford
a
house.
F
Please
go
ahead
for
the
next
slide.
Please
so
I
will
not
go
through
each
event,
but
your
support
to
each
one
of
these
events
is
much
appreciated.
I
will
just
say
that
there's
a
lot
of
very
interesting
areas
that
we
cover
in
chamber
events,
everything
from
education
with
the
chamber,
fair
education,
fair
to
Lunar,
New
Year
to
Diwali,
so
we'll
just
go
in
there
and
I'll
just
highlight
there
is
a
conversation
coming
up
on
March
22nd
for
the
community
to
talk
about
transportation.
F
That'll
be
the
first
in
a
series
of
discussions
that
we
at
the
chamber
will
be
working
with
our
community
leaders
in
order
to
support
a
discussion
about
these.
These
important
issues
and
we
look
to
come
up
with
solutions
to
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
I'm
getting
close
to
one
of
my
favorite
events
where
we
get
to
talk
about
this,
but
the
Star
Awards
is
we'll
be
announcing
who
the
Star
Award
winners
are,
but
there's
an
event
to
honor
their
their.
G
F
Able
to
be
elected
into
that
position
or
appointed
by
us
and
recognized
for
their
hard
work
in
the
community.
So
what
does
star
stand
for
I'll
just
spend
two
seconds
on
this.
Star
stands
for
service
teamwork,
achievement
recognition
all
right
and
each
year
the
chamber
selects
businesses
and
organizations
and
individuals
that
have
made
these
significant
contributions
to
our
community.
So
I
would
like
I'm
going
to
go
on
to
actually
the
winners,
and
this
is
my
exciting
drum
roll
all
right,
one
more!
F
Oh,
we've
got
our
visiting
dignitaries
and
I
was
warned
that
we
would
have
this
out
of
order.
So
my
script
doesn't
match
my
slides.
Can
you
believe
it?
So?
This
is
also
going
to
be

and
the
recipient
for
this
award.
Deputy
Fire
Chief
Jill
Parker.
This
is
this
is
a
great
event
to
be
I've
gone
several
years
in
a
row.
So
thank
you,
mayor,
Darcy,
Council,
wonderful
to
be
here
who
recognize
one
of
our
own.
H
It's
like
a
badge
pinning
ceremony
a
little
bit
here.
Chief
Parker
is
one
of
those
incident
commanders
where
you
show
up
and
you
feel
comfortable,
you
feel
safe.
You
feel
secure.
You
know
the
events
going
to
be
running
well,
and
not
only
is
he
is
gonna,
take
care
of
all
the
firefighters
there,
but
make
sure
that
we
take
care
of
the
community
and
all
is
served.
H
Chief
Parker
is
incredibly
measured
and
methodical.
These
attributes
are
admire,
dire
wall
and
valued
consider
the
type
of
work
we
do
on
a
day-to-day
basis
as
a
supervisor.
When
chief
Parker
selected
you
to
be
on
his
team,
it
was
a
pretty
big
compliment.
Very
not
very
often
did
spots
come
up
on
chief
Parker's
crew.
H
You
knew
you
were
gonna,
be
part
of
that
18
and
that
you
would
required
to
bring
your
best
self
to
work.
Every
single
day,
chief
Parker
continues
to
be
an
outstanding
contributor
to
County
Fire
and
the
communities
served,
although
chief
Parker,
just
recently
retired
in
December,
we
get
to
hang
on
to
him
for
a
little
bit
longer
and
I'm,
very
appreciative
chief
Parker
to
help
us
or
our
next
transition
and
his
dedication
and
leadership
to
County
Fire
has
been
very
inspirational.
H
I
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
to
tell
chief
Parker
to
his
face
and
in
front
of
all
of
you
how
much
I
appreciate
having
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
with
him
over
the
vast
majority
of
my
career.
I
was
very
fortunate,
as
a
young
firefighter
all
I
wanted
to
do
was
be
a
part
of
a
good
company
to
do
a
good
job
to
demonstrate
that
I
had
the
skills
and
abilities
to
be
chosen.

Good
afternoon,
on
behalf
of
Sheriff
Smith,
who
was
unable
to
attend
today,
I
want
to
thank
the
chamber,
the
Rotary
Club
in
the
city
for
allowing
us
to
have
this
platform
here
today
to
be
able
to
recognize
one
of
our
employees.
Truth
be
told
we
could
have
had
90
people
up
here,
because
every
single
member
of
our
office
is
valued
and
really
really
puts
out
their
their
heart
when
they
do
law
enforcement
duties.
However,
we
had
to
narrow
it
down
a
little
bit,
so
we
have
one
awardee
right
here
to
my
left
is
mr.
J
J
This
type
of
police,
policing,
attracted
deputy
Harvey
to
our
organization,
deputy
mark
Harvey,
joined
the
Sheriff's
Office
in
2011
and
graduated
the
Law
Enforcement
Academy
in
May
of
2012.
After
graduating,
the
police
academy
and
deputy
Harvey
worked
on
a
core
Security
Division.
Before
moving
to
Patrol,
he
joined
the
West
Valley
Patrol
Division
in
January
of
2014,
and
quickly
became
an
asset.
His
hard
work
and
dedication
of
Public
Safety
quickly
emerged
as
a
trait.
His
relentless,
relentless
pursuit
of
criminals
was
noticed
by
various
supervisors
and
partners.
J
He
excelled
quickly
and
was
soon
recruited
to
be
a
field
training
officer
and
as
a
field
training
officer,
he
was
given
a
responsibility
of
training,
new
deputies
and
policing
operations
in
tactics.
So
these
are
people
who
have
never
had
any
experience
in
law
enforcement
now
they're,
given
a
responsibility
of
driving
a
car
right,
and
it
was
his
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
they
obey
all
the
rules
and
understand
policing
at
its
finest,
certainly
not
an
easy
task.
J
In
early
2017
as
a
result
of
deputy
harvest
performance,
he
was
reassigned
to
a
specialized
assignment
he
and
his
partner
deputy
Gallardo,
which
is
to
my
left.
Here.
Your
right
were
both
assigned
to
work
in
a
newly
established,
burglary
and
theft
suppression
unit.
The
assignment
requires
self
motivation,
analysis
of
crime
research,
an
investigative
enforcement
actions
in
his
new
assignment.
He
collaborated
with
our
crime
management,
analysts,
detectives,
other
agencies
and
supervisors
in
order
to
identify
vehicles,
people
and
methods
used
by
criminals.
J
This
assignment
is
highly
critical
in
predicting
and
stopping
future
crime
in
the
city
of
Cupertino,
an
assignment
he
held
throughout
2017
a
couple
of
examples
of
his
work.
People
like
stories
on
a
Wednesday
in
December
deputy
Harvey,
was
conducting
surveillance
of
the
Pacific
Rim
parking
lot
on
Blaney
Avenue.
When
he
observed
a
gray
SUV
driving
into
the
parking
lot.
The
vehicles
lights
turned
off
and
no
one
exited
the
vehicle.
J
The
front
passenger
eventually
jumped
out
of
the
vehicle
and
quickly
looked
into
the
vehicle
parked
next
to
him
before
jumping
back
into
the
vehicle
only
to
again
reposition
the
vehicle.
What's
the
vehicle
park,
the
second
time
three
passengers
jumped
out
of
the
vehicle
and
began
to
look
into
several
vehicles
before
again,
jumping
back
into
the
vehicle.
The
vehicle
subsequently
pulled
out
of
the
parking
lot
in
position
itself
about
three
parking
spaces
away
from
the
vehicle
that
deputy
Harvey
was
driving.
J
This
this
location
gave
him
the
ability
to
clearly
see
what
was
going
on.
He
watched
as
two
suspects
got
out
of
the
SUV
and
again
looked
into
several
vehicles
using
a
flashlight
suddenly
for
no
known
reason.
The
vehicle
drove
out
of
the
parking
lot
well,
the
vehicle
was
stopped.
All
the
passengers
were
identified,
subsequent
search
of
the
vehicle
yielded
a
window
punch.
That's
an
item
used
to
break
glass
to
small
flashlights,
an
iPhone
10,
with
an
open
application
to
Google
Maps
and
the
sound
of
a
police
frequency
being
broadcasted
over
the
phone.
J
All
four
suspects
were
subsequently
arrested
and
booked
into
jail
for
a
variety
of
charges.
Some
of
those
charges
include
committing
a
crime
while
out
on
bail
possession
of
burglary
tools,
possession
of
a
police
scanner
while
committing
a
crime,
conspiracy
to
commit
crimes
prowling
and
several
other
vehicle
code
violations.
J
Both
suspects
enter
their
vehicle
and
began
to
drive
out
of
the
parking
lot
only
to
be
confronted
by
several
uniformed
deputies,
as
deputy
Harvey
had
already
drafted
a
plan
for
a
safety
tension
of
both
suspects
again
based
on
several
criminal
actions
committed
by
both
suspects.
They
were
both
arrested
for
several
crimes,
including
prowling
and
committing
four
separate
vehicle
burglaries
in
the
Cupertino
shopping
centers.
These
were
really
just
two
examples
of
deputy
Harvey's
commitment
to
public
safety
efforts
in
Cupertino,
particularly
in
and
around
our
business
districts.
J
He
is
self-motivated,
possesses
excellent
judgment
and
will
stop
at
nothing
to
apprehend
criminals
and
stop
crime
in
Cupertino.
I
have
no
doubt
that
deputy
Harvey
has
made
a
significant
contribution
to
the
quality
of
life
for
Cupertino
residents.
His
actions
have
made
Cupertino
a
safe
place
to
visit,
live
in
work.
Congratulations
to
Peter.
D
D
D
And
he
goes
why
I
go
cuz
I'm,
not
gonna,
lose
a
brand-new
truck,
so
police
department
I
go
he's
my
drivers
and
run
every
red
light
between
here
and
there,
because
once
the
air
get
to
it,
I'm
gonna
lose
the
truck.
So
they
was
like
a
party
in
Red
Sea's.
They
cleared
every
intersection.
The
fire
truck
was
chasing
my
truck.
We
got,
we
dumped
it
on
the
floor,
got
it
put
out
and
everything
was
good.
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
doing
doing,
helping
us
out.
F
So
well
with
it's
hard
to
follow
that
story,
but
I
will
say
it's
my
sincere
pleasure
and
honor
for
to
introduce
our
host
mayor,
Darcy
Paul,
who
I
have
a
a
long
history
with
at
least
being
here
in
Cupertino
for
the
years
I've
been
here,
he
was
in
the
Cupertino
Cupertino
Chamber
of
Commerce's
board
president
in
2014.
That's
where
I
got
the
first
know
him
and
to
provide
this
year's
State
of
the
City
address.
K
Well,
welcome.
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
being
out
here.
It's
wonderful
to
see
you
and
I
do
want
to
reiterate
that
this
is
a
two-part
address
today
today,
in
the
afternoon,
we're
talking
about
volunteerism
and
I,
see
that
as
a
basin
foundation
for
everything
that
we
do
in
our
democratic
society,
we
have
some
issues
that
are
of
deep
importance
to
our
residents
as
well
as
Friends
of
Cupertino.
So
we
invite
you
to
be
here
in
the
evening
as
well
at
6
o'clock.
K
I
want
to
thank
the
rotary
and
Chamber
of
Commerce
for
providing
such
a
great
backdrop
to
all
of
these
items
in
the
end.
I
would
wish
that
everything
that
we
are
talking
about
today
gets
cycled
through
in
its
entirety,
if
it
gets
replayed
say
on
our
city,
channel
or
archived
on
the
internet,
because
I
think
the
issues
that
they
set
up
are
just
so
salient
and
so
well
put
and
also
melds
quite
nicely
with
what
I'm
going
to
be
delivering
in
terms
of
the
rest
of
the
speech
that
it
is
a
cohesive
unit.
K
So
thank
you
very
much
for
everyone
coming
out
today
and
I.
Look
forward
to
being
able
to
engage
with
you
we're
in
a
round
table
format
tonight
or
this
afternoon.
I
should
say
because
of
fact
that
this
is
the
rotary
luncheon
wrote.
Ariens
know
that
this
is
an
extremely
conducive
type
of
format
for
discussion.
We're
gonna,
keep
this
format
tonight
and
hopefully
be
able
to
have
those
types
of
follow-on
discussions,
as
well
so
good
afternoon,
dignitaries,
community
leaders
and
esteemed
public
safety
officers.
Thank
you
all
for
attending
this
year's
Cupertino
state
of
the
city.
K
K
Today's
speech,
as
most
of
you
are
aware,
will
be
focused
on
volunteering
in
this
luncheon.
That
is,
but
as
we
discuss
this
topic,
I
also
want
to
highlight
service
particularly
service
to
our
Cupertino
community.
I
want
to
thank
particularly
our
public
service
and
safety
officers
for
everything
that
you
do.
It
was
with
a
great
sense
of
poignancy
that
I
heard
the
stories
today
and
with
a
sense
of
pride
that
was
able
to
present
these
certificates.
K
On
behalf
of
the
city
of
Cupertino,
we
realize
and
appreciate
that
the
work
that
you
do
essentially
creates
a
foundation
as
well
for
our
community.
So
thanks
very
much,
and
we
do
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
You
know
far
into
the
future,
but
with
respect
to
our
city
staff.
I
want
to
talk
about
a
gentleman
who
has
worked
for
Cupertino
since
1973
he
is.
We
were
extremely
lucky
to
have
an
employee
by
the
name
of
Manny
Bergen.
K
He
was
born
here
in
Cupertino
and
raised
in
Cupertino
as
well,
when
this
area
was
still
the
valley
of
heart's
delight
with
orchards
for
as
long
as
the
eye
could
see.
But
Manny
is
also,
as
I
said,
the
longest
standing
employee
with
the
city
of
Cupertino.
Let's
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
Manny
and
of
Cupertino
specced.
L
When
it
was
all
Valley,
African
strewn
cherries,
strawberries,
you,
you
know
they're
for
you
to
get
home
because
it's
so
dark
you
couldn't
see
he
had
to
follow
the
North
Star.
Why
don't
you
follow
the
North
Star
I'll?
Take
you
to
your
home,
but
at
the
same
token
and
she
walking
following
the
North
Stars,
you
got
to
make
one
step
to
the
right
and
every
hundred
feet
come
and
then
keep
on
going,
go
there,
and
that
will
take
you
straight
to
you.
L
Okay,
one
time
that
the
ringing
birds
come
and
Finch
Road
offense,
not
but
four
screws
up,
but
yes,
I
had
to
to
back
lots
of
big
lots
and
they
staked
elephants
on
the
right
foot
down
with
the
big
rope.
Why
don't
got
loose
when
one
guy
lose?
Everybody
start
going?
All
of
that
all
of
us
started
going
so
we
had
to
go
and
ring
them
up
and
put
them
in
one
corner:
no
water
in
the
middle.
L
The
things
that
I
like
about
mr.
Li
is
he
experienced
knowledge
and
wisdom.
He
taught
me
a
lot
and
my
job.
He
taught
me
a
lot
how
to
do
my
job
and
do
it
perfect.
You
know
and
mr.
nice
very
bright,
free,
smart
and
he
helps
people
who
nice
to
help
people
he's
really
good
what
he
does
I
see.
We
had
a
lot
of
people
doing
his
position,
but
he's
the
best
person
for
that
decision.
He
gets
things
done
and
he
cares
for
people.
K
Manny
is
a
dedicated
employee
who
cares
about
this
community
and
knows
quite
a
bit
about
what
happens
in
Cupertino
that
doesn't
necessarily
make
the
news,
by
virtue
of
his
job,
he's
an
environmental
inspector
these
days,
but
really
have
a
conversation
with
Manny
some
time.
You'll
hear
other
fascinating
stories
behind.
Besides
stories
of
escaped
elephants,
let's
give
Manny
another
big
round
of
applause.
K
K
K
I'm
pleased
to
stand
here
today
and
tell
you
that
our
city
is
in
great
financial
health.
Our
budget
is
balanced,
we
have
healthy
reserves
and
the
future
looks
bright
and
our
future
looks
bright
in
another
way.
Service
in
support
of
others,
particularly
the
service
provided
in
the
absence
of
compensation,
is
the
topic
of
today's
lunchtime.
Address
and
I
was
particularly
happy
to
be
contacted
by
a
Monta
Vista
high
school
graduate
from
2009
earlier
this
month.
K
In
fact-
and
he
said
to
me-
you
know
after
I
graduated
from
high
school
I
I
enlisted
in
the
army
eventually
became
an
army
captain
and
in
the
fall
I'll
be
attending
the
University
of
Michigan
Business
School
I'd
like
to
spend
the
next
six
months
of
my
life,
volunteering
in
some
capacity
and
I
thought
well.
This
is
great
I'm.
Actually
writing
a
speech
about
volunteering.
This
is
a
nice
energy
and
captain
and
mayor
gamble
was
the
person
who
led
us
in
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
today.
So
amazed
stand
to
be
recognized.
K
And
thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
volunteer
and
it's
actually,
this
connection
between
service
and
the
military
and
service
and
volunteering
that
I'll
be
making
at
the
luncheon.
Today
we
have
a
dedicated
and
deep
core
of
volunteers
in
Cupertino.
I
would
even
go
so
far
as
to
say
that
this
is
the
key
to
our
success,
and
certainly
it
is
the
cornerstone
of
the
health
of
our
system
of
governance.
Why
volunteerism?
Well
from
an
historical
perspective,
the
willingness
to
give
of
oneself
was
set,
in
contrast
to
the
compulsion
to
do
a
certain
thing.
K
With
that
certain
thing
being
conscription
in
the
king's
army
and
these
more
peaceful
and
enlightened
times,
it
may
seem
a
bit
vulgar.
The
volunteering
was
originally
set,
in
contrast
to
being
forced
into
fighting
for
one's
King
and
I
described
our
times
as
more
peaceful
and
enlightened
truly
without
irony.
We
do
indeed
live
in
a
world
of
greater
possibilities
and
understandings
more
so
than
in
any
other
time
in
the
history
of
people.
K
Thinking
about
these
remarks,
I
personally
have
struggled
with
the
notion
that
some
volunteer
and
some
are
paid
to
do
what
they
do.
How
do
we
reconcile
this
and
I've
arrived
at
the
understanding
that
there's
a
bit
of
a
need
for
both
in
every
one
of
us
in
this
society?
You
have
to
pay
the
bills,
and
you
have
to
recognize
that
the
aggregation
of
resources
for
one's
personal
use
has
to
take
place
within
a
common
understanding.
K
The
no
one
person
No
one
person
can
possibly
ever
do
everything
that
is
needed
to
achieve
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
in
a
free
and
open
democratic
society.
It
is
contingent
upon
each
and
every
one
of
us
to
carry
the
burden,
but
it's
not
truly
a
burden.
Is
it
we
have
fashioned
it
in
a
manner
that
we
can
think
about
participation
and
what
we
like
to
do
and
act
accordingly
and
I
will
put
in
a
bit
of
an
aside
here.
One
of
the
very
heavy
values
of
cupertino
is
educational.
K
K
As
for
myself,
in
the
professional
context,
my
industry
and
the
professional
practice
of
the
law
is,
is
particularly
guilty
of
finding
ways
to
deflect
accountability
from
itself
on
an
individual
basis
and
that's
what
makes
dealing
with
lawyers
aggravating
and
working
with
them
fairly
soul.
Draining
I
freely
admit
it.
Although
I
do
what
I
can
to
remedy
the
issue-
and
you
know,
on
the
other
hand,
this
is
the
group
that
needs
most
to
understand
what
I'm
trying
to
convey
here.
K
We
are
a
democratic
system
not
under
the
rule
of
a
particular
person
or
a
particular
group
of
people,
but
under
rule
of
law.
We
all
need
to
volunteer
time
and
effort
in
order
to
realize
this
achievable
ideal.
In
a
sense,
we
are
still
engaged
in
a
fight
when
we
volunteer,
we
are
fighting
for
a
way
of
life,
but
instead
of
being
compelled
to
do
something
or
even
manipulate
it
into
it.
K
We
are
asking
ourselves
how
to
pursue
our
interests
and
give
freely
of
our
time
and
energy
for
the
betterment
not
just
of
ourselves
but
of
those
around
us.
Our
efforts
are
set
against
a
backdrop
of
a
world
where
the
baser
motivations
still
abound,
and
it
always
seems
they
will
always
abound.
But
what
are
those
base?
Your
motivations
really
aren't
they
ultimately
also
products
of
their
context
and
largely
results
of
allowances
under
an
uncritical
eye.
K
We
live
through
a
rapidly
responding
time
right
now,
where
some
of
the
less
savory
aspects
of
our
social
niceties
and
some
would
say.
Yes,
our
hypocrisy
--zz
are
clearly
being
exposed.
Can
we
turn
this
into
something
permanently
useful
I
voluntarily
give
of
my
time
to
try
to
reconcile
how
we
can
take
this
energy
and
will
to
do
something
more
fair
and
more
kind
and
proceed
successfully
and
I
keep
arriving
at
all
of
the
good
points
of
our
ideals
and
how
much
work
and
involvement
they
require.
K
What
are
the
liberties
and
the
pursuits
of
happiness
that
we
want
to
protect
here
in
cupertino,
from
Rotary
Club
to
West,
Valley,
Community
Services
from
the
Lions
Clubs
to
the
wafu
School
of
eco
Bono,
from
our
sister
city
committees
and
our
many
friendships
sitting
committees
to
our
educational
and
religious
organizations?
We
have
a
broad
array
of
interests
being
represented
through
what
is
essentially
that
seed
of
a
tree
of
knowledge
that
has,
as
its
profound
wisdom,
the
understanding
of
how
we
go
about.
K
Having
all
of
these
things
that
are
social
charter
promises,
it
is
contingent
upon
all
of
us
and
again
I
know
that
every
single
one
of
us
in
this
room
realizes
that
I
know
that's
a
lot
of
pressure
as
well
to
put
on
people
and
I
have
in
the
past,
placed
an
even
greater
amount
of
pressure
upon.
Our
emerging
generation
actually
ran
in
Cupertino
in
2009,
before
getting
elected
in
2014
and
I'm,
so
pleased
to
see
the
mana
Vista
class
of
2009,
rising
up
to
the
challenge
of
of
our
generation
of
volunteering.
K
Now
I
see
a
number
of
high
school
students
from
that
from
that
time
and
I
think
that
it
is
it's
it's
a
tremendous.
It's
a
tremendous
burden,
it's
a
tremendous
responsibility,
but
it's
also
one
that
can
be
discharged,
I'm
convinced
we
need
to
help
this
emerging
generation.
Perhaps
the
best
coping
mechanism
is
a
redirection
of
the
energies
that
are
causing
our
stresses.
K
Look
at
this
beautiful
flower
arrangement.
Here
it
was
contributed
by
a
nonprofit
organization
here
in
Cupertino
that
has
for
years,
put
on
a
wonderful
show,
demonstrating
flower
arrangements
of
an
ancient
art
from
Japan.
Here's
an
example
of
taking
one's
energies
and
using
them
to
de-stress
and
put
forward
something
beautiful
to
the
world.
This
was
brought
forth
by
the
way
by
the
wafu,
a
cabana
society,
and
these
arrangements
were
made
by
their
president
for
Saco
Horeb,
who
I
believe
is
with
us
today,
Saco
if
you
could
be
acknowledged.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
Civically
I,
see
right
in
front
of
me,
a
friend
of
mine,
Peter,
LaRue
munos
from
Gilroy
Council,
member
and
I,
didn't
realize
you'd
be
here
today,
Peter,
but
Peter
was
actually
there
right
in
Cupertino
in
my
office
when,
when
I
first
moved
here
about
12
years
ago.
So
it's
an
interesting
note
how
these
coincidences
occur.
K
But
although
I
am
a
graduate
of
both
Harvard
College
and
as
well
as
Peter,
a
graduate
of
Harvard
Law
School,
it
never
really
occurred
to
me
to
become
involved
with
a
political
office
until
moving
here.
But
that
doesn't
tell
you
a
truly
complete
story.
I
will
tell
you
a
more
complete
story
now,
I'm
glad
that
my
parents
are
able
to
attend
here
today
from
Kansas
and
my
brother
Wesley
all
the
way
from
New
York.
Thank
you
for
making
it
out
here
today.
K
K
But
on
to
the
promised
more
complete
personal
story
well
in
1949
during
the
Chinese
Civil
War,
my
grandparents
on
both
sides
were
part
of
the
group
of
people
who
fled
to
Taiwan.
My
mother's
father
was
the
Republic
of
China's.
First
minister
of
finance,
under
the
government
that
began
in
1949
Taiwan
is
a
fascinating
place
and
I
also
want
to
personally
thank
director
general
Joseph's,
mom
of
the
Taipei
economic
and
cultural
office
for
being
here
today.
K
In
the
past
400
years,
there
have
been
waves
of
migration
from
China
to
Taiwan,
and
if
you
want
to
call
it
such
leadership
that
has
ranged
from
the
Dutch
to
the
Japanese
and
then
again
from
China.
Under
that
backdrop,
you
also
have
people
in
Taiwan
right
now
who
would
assert
a
separate
national
and
governmental
identity.
K
It
is
probably
when
you
really
cut
through
all
the
other
smoke,
the
most
consequential
political
question
of
our
generation,
insofar
as
having
repercussions
that
are
felt
throughout
the
world
in
terms
of
whether
China,
whether
Taiwan
myself
I,
think
we
have
a
lot
of
common
names
and
I'd
like
to
see
what
everyone
else
would
like
to
see:
prosperity,
freedom,
enlightenment,
elevation,
inspiration
and
the
betterment
of
all.
Of
course,
how
we
define
these
improvements
and
in
some
fashion,
under
what
banner
we
proceed,
seem
to
be
issues
that
trip
us
up
at
times.
K
But
what
I
do
know
is
this
determination,
integrity
and
yes,
both
wisdom
and
intelligence
are
common
factors
that
seem
to
lead
to
larger
success.
My
father's
people
ended
up
in
the
southern
tip
of
the
island
and
a
city
called
Gao
Xiang.
We
are
from
a
Chinese
stock,
known
from
known
for
its
mountains
and
the
size
of
its
people
in
the
sand,
dome
province
and
something
genetically
has
triggered
in
me
recently
and
I
find
myself
eating
a
lot
of
raw
garlic,
I
think.
K
In
any
event,
my
father's
people
were
in
the
Navy,
and
so
my
brother
and
I
were
brought
up
in
the
1970s
and
the
1980s
in
the
American
Midwest
under
a
bit
of
a
militaristic
mindset,
but
in
Taiwan
in
the
1950s
the
times
were
very
lean.
They
called
for
frugality
and
sacrifice
and
they
required
people
who
would
not
miss
direct
funds
in
order
to
provide
an
economic
base
for
recovery
and
entrance
into
a
modern
world
an
economy.
My
mother's
father,
in
his
capacity,
was
tasked
with
ensuring
that
economic
base
and
half
a
century
later.
K
We
as
a
world
would
see
China
use
that
economic
template
to
present
what
we
now
have
yet
another
three
decades
later.
I
see
it
as
an
opportunity
and
I
know
that
others
look
at
systems
and
history
and
feel
mistrust
and
more
from
a
relatively
unprivileged
background.
My
father
moved
to
Taipei
on
his
own
when
he
was
very
young
and
lived
in
a
high
school
that
had
no
dormitories
a
kindly
janitor
would
see
him
and
perhaps
look
the
other
way
as
the
kid,
with
no
place
to
sleep
and
a
few
hundred
miles
from
home.
K
At
a
time
when
rails
and
cars
were
still
not
all,
that
prevalent
was
resting
at
night.
On
the
classroom
floor,
the
half
of
his
body
exposed
to
the
elements
covered
in
mosquito
bites.
It
does
a
bit
of
a
disservice
to
speak
of
such
experiences
and
sacrifices
in
terms
of
whether
such
people
are
proud
of
you.
K
But
in
any
event,
my
point
is
this:
we
all
come
from
somewhere
and
each
of
us
has
a
similar
type
of
story
on
some
level
at
some
point
in
their
histories,
my
father
gained
entrance
is
the
National
Taiwan
University,
and
he
met
my
father
after
starting
Taipei's,
first
school
to
teach
people
the
test
of
English
as
a
foreign
language.
And
yes,
there
are
sacrifices
and
successes
in
every
good
story.
K
It's
the
question
of
how
we,
how
to
think
about
those
sacrifices
and
successes
and
formulate
those
into
a
process
that
sustained
and
improves
our
common
lot
that
we
are
here
to
consider
today.
The
answers
are
not
always
clear-cut,
but,
like
Manny
mentioned
a
true
north
direction
can
emerge
that
ensures
that
we
all
benefit
and
I.
Think
it's
fascinating
that
you
mentioned
the
North
Star.
We
actually
had
an
eclipse
earlier
this
morning
that
I
hope
that
at
least
some
got
to
see
it
was
quite
a
fascinating
sight.
K
I
was
jogging
out
along
homestead
and
and
just
seeing
random
people
standing
and
staring
up
the
sky,
but
but
I
think
that
direction
where
we
can
get
to
that
better
place
is
found
in
volunteering.
You
don't
need
a
membership
card
find
time
to
give
up,
give
of
your
knowledge
and
experience
freely
without
expectation
of
return.
We
really
truly
need
this
kind
of
ethos
in
order
to
prevent
a
slew
of
ills
that
we
have
seen
of
late
and
I
would
suppose.
K
But
it's
easier
to
envision
people
adopting
a
better
baseline
for
kindness
and
fairness
if
they,
for
instance,
take
time
for
fried
food
to
the
hungry
and
shelter
to
those
who
somehow
live
without
it
as
well.
I
would
hope
that
our
volunteering
efforts,
especially
here
in
the
valley,
are
based
upon
pragmatic
and
quantifiable
metrics,
with
an
eye
towards
making
sure
that
things
you.
M
K
They
work
and
they
have
been
our
nonprofit
organizations
or
individual
interior's
emergency
response,
volunteers,
faith-based
charitable
organizations
and
activities,
our
library,
supporters,
the
senior
TV
production
group,
the
better
part,
our
sister
and
Friendship
City
committees,
all
of
these
groups
and
people
work
in
order
to
ensure
at
base
that
our
liberties
remain
abundant
and
that
our
freedoms
are
grounded
in
the
notion
that
we
are
all
doing
this
for
ourselves
and
for
each
other
rather
than
to
ourselves
and
to
each
other.
Now,
I'd
like
to
present
some
videos
of
a
few
volunteer
organizations
in
our
community.
K
Please
note
that
these
are
but
three
among
many
and
that
these
few
minutes
that
we
have
are
truly
not
sufficient
to
tell
you
about
the
many
efforts
and
opportunities
cupertino
has
for
people
who
would
like
to
spend
time
not
just
making
our
community
better
but
making
our
society
work,
but
more
about
how
we
can
put
forth
the
broader,
broader
scope
of
volunteering
in
a
moment.
Right
now,
here
are
some
of
our
communities.
Organizations.
N
West
High
Community
Services
has
been
around
for
almost
45
years
and
we
provide
critical
supportive
services
to
low
income
and
homeless
folks
living
in
cupertino.
In
addition
to
providing
those
critical
services
were
a
place
where
cupertino
residents
can
come
to
volunteer
and
give
back,
they
can
help
in
our
food
pantry.
N
They
can
help
in
our
front
desk
and
they
make
our
agency
stronger
by
giving
up
their
time
in
their
talent,
ride
or
reach
their
destination
easily
launched
earlier
this
year
back
in
October
2017
for
seniors,
it
will
provide
a
pickup
by
a
volunteer
or
paid
driver
at
their
home
and
will
take
them
to
locations
in
and
around
the
West
Valley.
There
are
significant
discounts
for
folks
who
are
living
in
poverty,
and
a
ride
can
start
for
as
little
as
90
cents.
N
One
way,
the
best
part
of
being
a
member
of
West,
Valley,
Community
Services,
is
knowing
that
you're
positively,
impacting
the
lives
of
folks
who
are
really
struggling
financially
in
our
community,
and
that
feels
amazing
to
know
that
you
are
playing
a
role
in
helping
people
that
are
really
facing
significant
financial
and
home
struggles
here
in
the
county.
But
it's
also
about
being
part
of
a
strong
community,
a
caring
community.
If
you
want
to
get
involved
with
West
Valley
Community
Services.
The
first
step
is
to
check
out
our
website.
N
N
There
you'll
learn
more
about
what
we
do
and
a
variety
of
different
volunteer
opportunities
we
have
available
throughout
the
year.
We
have
one-time,
volunteer
opportunities,
our
back-to-school
clothing
program
or
a
holiday
gift
program,
and
we
have
ongoing
volunteer
opportunities
as
well.
If
folks
have
time,
weekly
or
monthly
and
they
can
come
in
and
help
staff.
Our
pants
really
help
pick
up
food
from
the
community
to
bring
back
to
our
food,
pants,
you're,
sort
through
items
work
at
our
reception
desk
or
help
in
the
back
office.
N
There's
lots
of
opportunities,
whether
you
have
a
little
bit
of
time
or
a
lot
of
time.
We
depend
upon
volunteers
to
make
West
Valley
Community
Services
happen.
Each
week
we
have
over
a
hundred
and
sixty
volunteer
shifts,
and
each
year
our
volunteers
complete
around
17
to
18
thousand
hours
of
volunteer
service.
O
Well,
our
area
organization
is
the
oldest
service
Club
in
cupertino,
and
we've
actually
been
in
business
here
since
1951,
and
over
the
years
we've
had
developed
some
annual
activities
main
one,
the
biggest
one
which
we
do
every
spring
is
official
on
for
blind,
handicapped
people.
We
do
it
in
conjunction
with
the
Stevens
Creek
quarry
and
we
service
old
well
over
100,
handicapped
and
blind
people.
O
They
come
fish,
I,
get
lunch,
making
rice
day
of
it
and
just
thinking
about
what
seeing,
how
happy
and
excited
like
children
and
handicapped
people
were
when
they
reeled
in
a
fish,
and
let
me
take
a
big
picture
of
them
and
give
it
to
them,
and
so
that's
probably
the
highlight
memory
of
the
year.
Then
we
also
sponsor
$12,000
a
year
in
scholarships,
local
high
schools.
We
provide
vision,
care
and
eyeglasses
for
needy
people.
We
just
recently
sponsored
the
wrestling
tournament
at
Cupertino,
High
School,
and
you
know
other
things.
O
P
In
August
we
hosted
ride
for
diabetes
at
De,
Anza
College
as
a
first
year
cycling
event
benefiting
the
great
diabetes
programs
of
Lions
Clubs
International
on
the
American
Diabetes
Association
programs
that
help
those
with
diabetes
prevention,
programs
and
research
to
find
a
cure.
It's
a
disease
that
touches
nearly
every
family
I
was
really
taken
by
the
outpouring
of
community
support
that
we
received
from
Cupertino
businesses
and
organizations
like
rich
vineyards.
The
YMCA
walked
by
Cupertino
and
from
Cupertino
residence
135
community
volunteers
who
worked
the
event
in
support
of
this
great
cause.
P
K
K
We
have
a
wide
variety
of
volunteer
organizations
here
in
Cupertino,
speaking
to
an
audience
comprised
of
a
good
number
of
wrote,
Aryans
and
Chamber
members
I
know
there's
a
deep-seated
understanding
of
the
power
of
volunteering
here,
and
can
you
imagine
what
would
happen
to
our
purposes
if
the
people
who
support
all
of
the
community's
volunteer
efforts
suddenly
all
said
well,
this
just
doesn't
make
any
sense
at
all.
Why
don't
I
just
spend
more
time
doing
things
that
are
more
lucrative
you'd
have
a
society
that
is
much
worse
off.
K
K
In
my
tenure
with
that
organization,
I
came
to
realize
that
our
country's
501
C
6
nonprofits,
which
are
explicitly
in
existence
on
a
legal
basis
to
lobby
their
respective
jurisdictions
for
the
benefit
of
the
business
community,
do
not
exist
in
an
independent
vacuum,
irrespective
of
the
well-being
of
any
other
given
part
of
the
community
in
a
sense.
What's
good
for
the
goose
is
good
for
the
gander,
but
looked
upon
from
another
perspective.
K
The
point
is
that
lobbying
for
a
specific
good
has
ramifications
that
are
affected
by
as
well
as
effect
actions
that
can
help
everyone
more
often
than
not.
The
win-win
situations
are
created
by
people
finding
them
and
doing
a
great
deal
of
quiet
and
unrewarding
work.
You
know,
I
read
a
very
interesting
article,
the
other
day
about
the
college
football
championship,
which
happened
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
Amongst
other
points,
it
stated
that
the
greatest
coach
in
history
is
almost
undoubtedly
someone
that
you
have
never
heard
of.
K
It
was
someone
who
lacked
resources
or
achieved
amazing
and
ingenious
results
from
a
starting
point
that
had
no
business
getting
to
where
it
got,
but
who
also
didn't
get
to
have
the
most
Division
one
Championships
in
history.
The
point
I
got
out
of
it
was
that
we
all
need
to
find
something
to
do
which
we
do
just
for
the
sake
of
it
and
because
we
enjoy
it,
and
also
because
we
know
that
what
we
do
help
someone
learn
how
to
overcome
obstacles,
help
someone
do
any
number
of
other
things.
K
We
in
Cupertino
exist
as
a
city,
because
the
membership
of
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
was
actually
willing
to
do
a
bit
of
and
I
know.
This
is
going
to
give
a
lot
of
people
in
my
industry,
some
real
heartburn
free
legal
work
in
order
to
get
the
city
of
Cupertino
incorporated
a
year
later
in
1955
I
actually
received
an
email
out
of
the
blue
from
a
gentleman
named
Boris
Stanley.
That
attorney
whose
office
was
in
the
back
of
the
butcher
shop
on
the
northeast
corner
of
what
is
now
De,
Anza,
Boulevard
and
Stevens
Creek
Boulevard.
K
Just
think
about
that,
some
60
odd
years
ago,
a
young
lawyer
who
had
delayed
post-secondary
schooling
because
his
generation
fought
at
the
last
great
conflict,
the
one
that
was
supposed
to
end
all
conflicts
decided
after
get
through
Stanford
and
through
law
school,
to
give
freely
of
this
time
and
get
our
city
legally
started.
And
so
I
tell
you
today
that
the
idea
that
we
don't
look
back
I
understand
it.
K
But
that's
at
the
same
time,
I've
come
to
realize
that
at
some
times
in
some
contexts
we
should-
and
we
need
to
look
back
to
figure
out
where
it
is
that
we
can
be
going
and
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
now
and
why
we
got
here
and
what
it
is
that
we're
trying
to
do.
My
friends,
we
can
have
it
all.
We
do
have
it
all.
We
can
and
we
have
built
a
wall
of
fantastic
proportions
and
insurmountable
construction,
but
it
hasn't
cost
us
billions
of
dollars
and
the
goodwill
of
our
neighbors.
K
It
has
cost
us
only
what
amounts
to
our
volunteer
time
and
through
doing
so,
we
have
built
a
community
that
shines
as
a
beacon
of
light.
Throughout
the
world,
attracting
people
from
all
over
seeking
to
participate
in
what
we
value,
don't
believe
me
I
refer
you
to
my
colleague,
2018
chamber,
presidents
presentation
regarding
housing
values
a
little
bit
earlier
during
this
during
this
luncheon,
and
that
first
exhibit
would
be
a
chart
showing
the
trend
of
home
values
in
our
community.
K
These
past
several
years
exhibit
two
would
be
the
fact
that
we
are
home
to
Apple
Inc,
but
I
need
to
be
careful
because
collateral,
opportunism
and
expectation
of
gain
are
not
the
things
that
define
success.
Along
with
my
colleagues
on
the
Cupertino
City
Council,
we
dedicate
a
lot
of
time
listening
to
a
lot
of
community
sentiment.
That
is
most
certainly
not
on
its
face.
Some
kind
of
exercise
in
back
patting
I
assure
you.
K
We
need
that
and
while
I'd
be
lying
to
you,
if
I
told
you
that
I
loved
every
moment
of
it,
there
is
a
sort
of
enjoyment
in
engaging
with
this
type
of
good
and
effective
medicine.
The
wall
that
we
have
built
is
a
defense
against
impingements
upon
our
liberties,
while
defining
our
freedoms
in
the
context
of
activities
that
allow
us
to
support
what
we
value
it
is
as
tangent
one
strong
as
it
is
abstract.
K
Paradoxically
enough,
we
are
smart
enough
to
work
through
these
and
reconcile
the
abstractions
and
paradoxes
to
mutual
benefit
and
having
it
all
is
really
not
the
same
as
having
everything.
Why
do
we
even
need
everything?
Well
from
the
perspective
of
the
volunteering
and
connecting
with
perhaps
just
a
part
of
what's
out
there?
K
Let
me
just
say
this:
we
can
always
be
looking
at
what
we're
doing,
reassess
and
find
ways
to
do
it
better,
and
so
yes,
it's
true
this
organization
that
is
so
kindly
and
graciously
over
the
years
hosted
at
its
weekly
meeting
Cupertino
state
of
the
city
holds
a
place
of
eminence
in
our
community's
pantheon
of
volunteer
organizations.
We
have
heard
earlier
the
many
activities
your
members
bring
forth
and
it
frankly
is
quite
admirable.
I
ask
for
your
help
in
participating
in
and
setting
forth
to
our
fair
city.
K
This
volunteer
fair
in
the
spring
time
before
our
students
break
for
the
summer
and
our
families
head
out
in
all
directions
of
the
compass.
Some
many
will
stay
and
perhaps
a
few
more
like
captain
gamble
will
decide
to
stay
on
the
basis
of
the
realization
that
there
is
much
to
do
in
our
community.
That
is
free,
and
that
makes
us
free.
K
We
can
carry
forth
the
banner
and
the
spirit
of
volunteerism
to
ensure
our
community's
continued
strength,
freedom
and
harmony,
and
perhaps,
in
closing
a
note
of
levity,
some
humor
might
be
an
order
to
counterbalance
the
the
pity
nature
of
our
topic.
This
noontime
and
also
I,
would
like
to
pay
homage
to
our
senior
councilmember
former
mayor
Barry
chain,
who
sometime
midterm,
started
to
take
up
an
interest
in
poetry
and
weaving
together
this,
and
also
the
notion
that
we're
trying
this
afternoon
to
look
at
our
activities,
perspectives
and
values
through
the
lens
of
why
we
volunteer.
K
Let
me
be
brave,
like
councilmember,
Chang
and
put
forth
some
personally
derived
poetry
now
ashes
to
ashes
and
dust
to
dust.
It's
true.
Your
metal
credit
card
will
eventually
rust,
keep
up
the
great
work.
Volunteering
encourage
your
friends,
young
and
old,
with
and
without
to
volunteer.
We
all
depend
on
it
tonight.
I
will
be
continuing
and
concluding.
Today's
State
of
the
City
address

a
session
on
on
selected
issues
affecting
Cupertino
this
evening
session,
which
is
open
and
free
to
the
public,
begins
at
6:30
p.m.
