timeframe and whether there could be parts implemented earlier such as the dog off-

6
PRC 04-04-2024
5 of 196
was a suggestion with associated costs, and yes there could be elements taken out and
implemented separately.
Commissioner Swamy requested clarification on prioritization of the phases and
whether or not the pickleball and bocce ball courts will be prioritized as they are more
functional and usable. GATES Consultant Case clarified that they prioritized the
elements they heard from the community while also thinking about infrastructure and
constructability. Added that the recommendations take into account logical sequencing,
and it doesn’t necessarily have to go in that order – it can evolve as funding becomes
available.
Commissioner Bono requested clarification on whether or not there were contingencies
for drought. CIP Manager Michael clarified that drought resistant plantings such as
native plants have always been a priority and will be a long-term condition.
Commissioner Bono requested clarification on the specifics for the amphitheater
upgrades including evaluation of costs based on the number of parking spaces for
events. CIP Manager Michael clarified that there were extensive parking studies done
showing that the parking was adequate for day to day and to use DeAnza College for

are, and they were asked to reduce the added parking to accommodate more pickleball
courts. Clarified that there are no specific amphitheater upgrades decided yet, but it will
focus mainly on accessibility.
Chair Shearin requested clarification on how the following dates were determined –
construction starting in 2028 and lasting approximately 15 years. CIP Manager Michael
clarified that they took into account the City’s fiscal reality given they would need to
figure out funding sources. GATES Consultant Case added that it is an estimate based
on the magnitude of the improvements and the likelihood of funding.

artificial turf in any of the open grass areas and no toxic materials (such as PIP) in the
playground.

operational and if it would be up to City staff. Recreation Manager Koverman clarified
that it would be up to staff as it is a City program.
Commissioner Stanek supported the basketball court, new restroom in the middle of
the park, upgrades to the two on sides, all-abilities playground using safe materials,
pickleball courts location, and the softball field shared use for a DOLA. Expressed
concerns surrounding one bocce ball court given that it would not support the current
senior social program as they take up two bocce courts at Blackberry Farm.
Commissioner Swamy supported Commissioner Stanek’s comments and the Memorial
Park Specific Plan as a whole.
Vice Chair Buch supported a multi-generational playground and requested clarification
on the all-abilities playground and whether it is multi-generational. CIP Manager
Michael clarified that the playground would bring together all generations and abilities.
Commissioner Bono supported Commissioner Stanek’s comments and requested
clarification on the implementation estimated costs and whether or not it could change
in the next three to four years once inflation goes down (therefore helping with cost
savings). CIP Manager Michael clarified that it would be up to the community,
Commissions, and City Council given the funding reality.
Chair Shearin commended the team for taking into consideration what the Commission
and community have asked for in the plan – grassy hill light area, amphitheater with
ADA accessibility, all-abilities and all generation playground, pickleball courts away
from resident homes as much as feasible, no additional parking lots, plantings
incorporating low water usage and native species, enhanced bicycle facilities in the
park, and consideration for lighting. Expressed concern that during the community
outreach process, keeping the softball field was a low community priority, but
ultimately was added following Council direction.
Commissioner Stanek motioned to recommend that City Council approve the Memorial
Park Specific Plan (“Plan”) design and adopt the amendment to the Parks & Recreation
System Master Plan (PRSMP) initial study/mitigated negative declaration (IS/MND)

No child should be left behind in the classroom due to the inability of a parent or guardian to afford
proper eye-care. A 20/20 vision can help a child succeed in school and gain the confidence to thrive
in life.
Empowering the underprivileged to achieve 20/20 vision free of cost.
Ainak is a nonprofit organization based in the Silicon Valley, California, dedicated to improving vision and well-being
of school children in under-resourced and underserved communities in California. Our primary mission is to provide
free eye exams and prescription eyeglasses to those who may not have access to proper eye care. Established with
the belief that 20/20 vision can significantly impact a child's academic success and overall confidence, Ainak
collaborates with local schools and nonprofits to extend our reach and make a meaningful difference in the lives of
individuals facing vision challenges. Through our services, we aim to empower communities by enhancing vision
health and fostering opportunities for success in education and life.
The need for accessible vision care is indeed significant, as highlighted by the concerning statistics. According to
the CDC, a staggering 62 million Americans lack access to vision care. Last fall, over 300,000 school children in
California returned to the classroom with vision impairment. Compounding this, 1 in 4 preschool-aged children
grappled with undiagnosed or untreated vision issues. Recognizing and addressing these concerns early on is
pivotal to a child's overall well-being and future success. Timely detection and treatment of vision problems can be
transformative, opening doors for children to excel in various profession such aa teachers, mechanics, truck drivers,
nurses, doctors and even astronauts. Visit to the optometrist also helps in the timely diagnosis of various other
health issues like glaucoma, eye infections, high blood pressure, etc.
Ainak is committed to bridging this gap, providing free eye exams and eyeglasses to empower individuals and
ensure that vision challenges do not hinder the pursuit of their dreams.

resourced school children and clients referred by partner nonprofits. Our specific request is
for a donation of $10,000, is intended to benefit 100 children and adults within the City of
Cupertino and Cupertino Unified School District. Of this amount, approximately $9000.00 will
be used towards eye care and eyeglasses and remaining funds towards educational/
marketing materials.
Your donation of $10,000.00 will help us in providing eye care to about 100 children and
adults in and around the City of Cupertino and Cupertino Unified School District.
Your donation of $10,000.00 will help us in providing eye care to about 100 children and adults from
underserved communities in and around the City of Cupertino and Cupertino Unified School District.
Ainak's initiative targets community members with an annual income below $50,000.00 who do not have vision insurance. This
ensures that the program is reaching those who may face financial barriers to accessing vision care.
Additionally, our collaboration with Cupertino Unified School District, local nonprofits, West Valley Community Services, and
participation in school events demonstrates a community-focused approach to addressing vision needs of the underserved residents
of the City of Cupertino.

Ground School & Pilot Training: Utilizing existing FAA approved flight training curriculum, BAUE conducts three - 12 week Ground School sessions per year. After successfully completing
their Private Pilot written examination, students who are 15 years and older will begin private lessons with a Certified Flight Instructor with the goal to solo within their first three months in
the training program.
Simulator Sessions: Hands-on experience with flight simulators, allowing scholars to virtually pilot different types of aircraft.
Online Resources: Provide a comprehensive online platform with educational resources, articles, videos, career guides, job listings and interactive tools for aviation students.

STEM Curriculum Development: Utilizing existing FAA approved flight training, the FAA’s STEM/AVSED curriculum, and NASA’s STEM Engagement curriculum, deliver age appropriate
STEM focused training. BAUE has a relationship with a predominant eVTOL manufacturer and will continue to form other emerging technology partnerships.
Scholarships and Internships: Pursue scholarships for aerospace-related training programs, internships at local aerospace companies to gain practical experience, and financial support for
scholars pursuing higher education in STEM related disciplines.

The requested funds will facilitate a ten-week summer educational program that explores aerospace and careers in the aviation industry.
The program is designed to develop the critical thinking skills of youth ages 6-22 using practical applications of math and science. Subjects
covered include aerodynamics, material science, general navigation, weather patterns, aircraft design, and energy systems. Sessions are
taught by certified flight instructors and aviation professionals to ensure an insightful learning experience. The program provides
Interactive experiences such as flight simulators, drone operation, hot air balloon construction, water rocket launching, and other hands-on
STEM activities. Participants will develop leadership skills by working in teams and learn effective communication and decision making.
The objective of the program is to inspire the next generation of aviation professionals by providing fun and educational experiences.
Any remaining funds will be applied to the acquisition of a refurbished Redbird advanced flight training simulator certified by the FAA.
Supporting purchases of the flight training simulator may include software licensing, freight costs, taxes, and a one-year technical support
plan. The Redbird corporation has generously discounted the price of the flight simulator for BAUE. The flight simulator will be a valuable
training tool for BAUE students by providing them realistic training experiences and exposure to various flight scenarios in a safe,
controlled environment.
The Cupertino General Plan is a roadmap to the future that encompasses the hopes, aspirations, values and dreams of the community.
The purpose of Bay Area Urban Eagles, is to align with the youth of Cupertino in realizing their dreams to become a pilot, an astronaut, an
aerospace engineer or other aviation professional. The aeronautical sector is experiencing a significant workforce shortage while grappling
with methods to improve inclusion and diversity. Bay Area Urban Eagles will help prepare Cupertino's youth to compete, secure
employment, and attain lucrative careers that can afford them the ability to remain Cupertino residents. Participants will receive free career
development services including internship and job placement assistance, career exploration and guidance, and networking events with
professionals in aviation. In addition, students receive free ground school and STEM education from certified flight instructors and a former
NASA professional. To enhance the technology and learning resources currently available from BAUE, the requested funds would be used
to acquire an FAA flight training device and educational software. The training device would provide students a realistic training experience,
and exposure to various flight scenarios in a safe, controlled environment. In the process, they’ll learn a wealth of STEM related
connections not usually covered in schools.
The grant is intended to serve Cupertino youth residents ages 6 to 22. The program will be promoted city-wide with outdoor STEM based
activities scheduled at Cupertino public parks with appropriate permits and insurance. Indoor learning sessions will take place at the
Cupertino library or at the Bay Area Urban Eagles headquarters located near Palo Alto Airport with appropriate permits and insurance.
Our program serves all youth ages 6 to 22 with a primary focus on those from minority or
underserved communities in Cupertino and the greater Bay Area.

CACCC Mission
•Encourage dialogue among Chinese Americans about end of life issues so that it is viewed as a natural part of life.
•Enhance advanced illness and end of life care by improving advance care planning and decision-making for Chinese Americans through community
outreach education and volunteer, caregiver, and health professional training.
•Empower Chinese Americans by improving access to end of life resources: producing original Chinese language materials or translating existing
materials into Chinese and providing referrals to appropriate agencies.
•Use a coalition model, where expertise and resources are shared, to insure Chinese Americans receive exceptional end of life care and services that
address physical, psychosocial, emotional and spiritual needs.
CACCC Vision
A community in which Chinese Americans are able to face the end of life with dignity and respect.
CACCC was formed 12/2005 to address the lack of linguistically and culturally appropriate end-of-life information and training available to the Chinese community and those who serve
them.
CACCC, incorporated and achieved 501c3 status in 2007, is the first coalition in the nation devoted to end-of-life care concerns in the Chinese community. An active working coalition of 250
local, state and national partner organizations and approximately 5,500 individual members dedicated to the mission.
Nine (9) dedicated volunteer board of directors set policy with one (1) full time and two (2) part time staff. Prior to COVID, CACCC used facilities of its coalition partners for training and
events. Today, events are still provided virtually, with planned collaborative opportunities for in person community engagement. CACCC’s focus: helping the Chinese community with
advance care planning (ACP); mindful self-care; providing hospital patient ambassadors; hospice volunteer training; educating Chinese community, and the healthcare providers who serve
them.

Mindfully Facing Loss and Grief Program
Loss is universal. Loss is inherent to the experience of chronic and terminal illness. If we avoid facing the grief that can come with loss, grief can accumulate and eventually have detrimental impacts on an individual’s health and mental well-being. In a mindful approach to loss,
we attempt to meet grief directly. That is, to be with the responses to loss, rather than push them away, pretend they are not there, or put them off for another day.
CACCC has developed a four-module workshop: “Mindfully Facing Loss and Grief”. Each module is a 2-hour workshop. Each workshop includes: mindfulness practice, instructor presentation, breakout room instructor facilitated exercise. This workshop is open to all Mandarin-
speaking adults who have completed the Mindful Self-Care Workshop (a free seven-week training provided by CACCC).
New program/project/event
With a generous community grant funding from the City of Cupertino in 2022/2023, CACCC developed a new much needed program: Mindfully Facing Loss and Grief to address life, death, grief and loss, mindfully, for the Chinese community, multigenerational Chinese families
and family caregivers experiencing grief and loss during these challenging times.
Additionally, CACCC’s intends to continue to build on the program successes of Starting the Conversation from previous funding years (2019/20, 2020/21 and 2022/23 with the Chinese community in Cupertino and surrounding areas by training the staff, case managers and
trained volunteers of organizations in Cupertino and surrounding areas who serve the Chinese community.
Mindfully Facing Loss and Grief
Purpose: Encourage participants to face and address their loss and grief by providing mindful approaches to grief and loss, bereavement, mourning and a life memory book to foster positive mental and emotional health and well-being, overall.
The City of Cupertino’s Community Grant Funding helped develop this new course conducted in Chinese (Mandarin): Mindfully Facing Grief and Loss to help a family loved one, family members, family caregivers and everyday people to be able to mindfully embrace life and
death and mindfully facing grief and loss. Each module is a 2-hour workshop. The four modules developed included:
Module 1: Loss and Grief: This module is primarily focused on an exercise that replicates the variety of loss experienced when confronted with chronic and terminal illness. Mindfulness helps us see again there’s nothing inherently wrong with grief. Grief is not a problem it’s a
process to go through as it is life’s natural response to a loss that has meaning and significance.
Module 2: Bereavement: Bereavement is the period after a loss during which grief and mourning occurs. The time spent in bereavement for the loss of a loved one depends on the circumstances of the loss and the level of attachment to the person who died or personal loss.
Module 3: Mourning: Mourning is the outward expression of our grief; it is the expression of one’s grief. Mindful breathing, mindful walking and giving and receiving kindness can help us mourn. Mourning is greatly influenced by cultural beliefs, practices, and rituals.
Between Modules 2 or 3, incorporate a Self-Care Stress Reduction exercise session for participants to reduce stress, to stimulate mind and body and emotional spirits to alleviate symptoms of grief and loss.
Module 4: Life Memory Book: Create a template for people to use as a guide to review their lives, their memories, post their photos and write down the words they like to share with their families, loved ones and friends.
Starting the Conversation Program
Purpose:
1.Encourage participants to examine their overall health and well-being and adopt a
healthier lifestyle.
2.Encourage advance care planning conversations regarding medical care wishes,
as well as their loved one’s wishes who are living with chronic disease(s) and/or facing the end
of life to consider available care options and discuss with family members, loved ones and the health professional team that will lead to completing an Advance Health Care Directive during a pandemic.
CACCC will provide services as below:
1.Heart to Heart cards Cafés: to encourage Chinese Americans to discuss EOL issues with their loved ones, and their healthcare teams and encourage them to complete the AHCD.
2.ACP and AHCD workshop:
3.Healthcare Provider Presentation/Workshop
4.Caregiver and volunteer training
5.Weekly Caregiving Stress Reduction Meetings
6.Seven (7)- 8-Week Mindful Self-Care Workshops
7.Guest speaker series: “Redefining What Matters”
8.Produce and translate end-of-life resources and materials from English to Chinese
CACCC’s proposed Loss and Grief Workshop and Starting the Conversation 2024/25 Initiative is aligned with three of the twelve guiding principles in Cupertino’s General Plan: a) Embrace Diversity; b) Support Education; and c) Ensure a Responsive Government.
CACCC is uniquely qualified to address the advance care planning and end-of-life education needs of the Chinese community. There is no other organization in the nation whose mission is to build a community where Chinese Americans are able to face the end of life with
dignity and respect.
a)Embrace Diversity: CACCC’s community programs are designed to meet the needs of the large multigenerational Chinese American community in Cupertino and the surrounding areas.
b)Support Education: The City of Cupertino has generously provided grant funding to preserve and support quality community education to improve programs that enhance learning and expand community-wide access, specific to the Chinese American community.
c)Ensure a Responsive Government: Since 2019, the Parks and Recreation and the City Council leadership teams have been flexible and responsive to changing community needs and have recognized and supported CACCC, a local and regional organization to address the
importance of advance care planning and discuss end-of-life care needs of the Chinese American community.
As noted in item *8: With a generous community grant funding from the City of Cupertino in 2022/2023, CACCC developed a new much needed program: Mindfully Facing Loss and Grief to address life, death, grief and loss, mindfully, for the Chinese community,
multigenerational Chinese families and family caregivers experiencing grief and loss during these challenging times. In 2024/25, CACCC will promote the workshop to the Chinese community of Cupertino and surrounding areas.
Additionally, CACCC’s intends to continue to build on the program successes of Starting the Conversation from previous funding years (2019/20, 2020/21 and 2022/23 with the Chinese community in Cupertino and surrounding areas by training the staff, case managers and
trained volunteers of organizations in Cupertino and surrounding areas who serve the Chinese community.

Unsolicited Testimonial: Thoughts on Mindfulness Self Care Class
At the completion of the 8-week Mindfulness Self Care class, my heart is filled with gratitude and hope:
how fortunate I am to stumble upon this class offered by CACCC; and hopeful that I am about to embark
on a journey of mindfulness and compassion living, one that will bring joy and fulfillment to myself and
those around me.
I have always considered myself a lifelong learner, and have enjoyed many new classes, but never have I
taken a class that is as transformative as this one.
After the Week-2 class on mindfulness, I tried mindfulness while driving. The experience was so pleasant
that I kicked my 40+year habit of driving with the radio on, just like that.
The Week-4 self-compassion class led me to mindful eating: savoring every bite, appreciating the food,
and stopping when full. I lost a few pounds in a month, without trying.
I started listening, really listening, to my friends, and especially to my introverted daughter, who said to
me, “Mom, I feel you are listening to me.” Her quiet comment shook me. For years, I have yearned to be
able to communicate with my two grown daughters at a deeper level. I tried hard to be an active
listener, and then inadvertently reverted to my old way of being an authoritative, all-knowing, problem-
solving Chinese mother, and in so doing, closed the door to our communication. This course has shown
me a different path.
It sets itself apart from other mindfulness classes or books in my experience: in that it incorporates the
Chinese culture, value and family structure in its content. The teachers’ stories resonate with my
struggles as a Chinese American. It is indeed a rare gift.
As a retired teacher from the California public schools, I couldn’t help but noticed how well these classes
were conducted. Each class started with a short meditation to quiet our mind and collect our focus,
followed by an informative lecture on a specific topic. All the teachers are full of wisdom and
compassion. Such beautiful people! The small group discussions, often to share our weekly homework,
took me out of my comfort zone. But it was precisely what I needed to go from a passive listener to an
active participant. The teachers demonstrated mindful listening by their actions, creating a safe haven
for the students to share our stories, doubts and questions. I feel such tender camaraderie towards my
classmates because of our shared experience. The weekly assignments were not easy, but thought-
provoking. They forced us to delve into our deep self, then apply the new knowledge in our daily life. So
impactful.
As the course drew to a close, I was eager to continue these practices, but apprehensive about my
ability to navigate in uncharted waters. Imagine my relief to learn about the after-class support group,
which I am grabbing onto as a lifesaver. Now I am confident that I can do it.
The world would be a much better place if we all learned mindfulness and compassion. My heartfelt
appreciation to CACCC for this life-changing course, as well as all the classes and services it offers: a
great contribution to the Chinese American community. Thank you.
—Lillian C., Mindful Self-Care Workshop participant

The objective of Cupertino Little League (CLL) is to bring the joy of baseball to over 120 Cupertino
children aged 5 to 16. We are a non-profit, all volunteer-run organization and take pride in serving
our community, including special needs kids.
Cupertino Little League (CLL) was founded in 2016 following the merger of Cupertino National
(founded in 1962) and Tri-Cities (1964) Little Leagues.Children play baseball during practices,
games, and tournaments held primarily at Wilson Park. Cupertino Little League runs the Wilson Park
Snack Shack, a beloved point of gathering for all CLL families and beyond. CLL also enables boys
and girls with physical and mental challenges to enjoy the game of baseball with the CLL Challenger
team. Other CLL teams support the Challenger team through a “buddy” system.
We are planning for the works to be executed in the Summer of 2024 timeframe, during the offseason.

Is your event citywide or targeted to a particular neighborhood, demographic or geographic area? If
targeted, describe your target audience.
The funds will be used to purchase 2 new scoreboards for the City of Cupertino, which will be used at
Wilson Park primarily by Cupertino Little League, but also potentially by any organization renting the fields
from the City of Cupertino (such as commercial baseball camps). The scoreboards will be mounted in
collaboration with Cupertino City staff, with whom we are in close contact already.
The operation of the current scoreboard has become less and less safe for our volunteers. These are old
(at least 15 years old) and have malfunctioned several times through the seasons which required
intervention of City staff: one such malfunction related to the wired and powered scoring box resulted in a
shock hazard to our kids and parents. A new scoreboard with wireless updating capabilities would resolve
these types of issues.
As described in the General Plan Principles, “the City has an excellent system of community and neighborhood parks that provide a place for community
gathering, recreation and healthy programs.”. Cupertino Little League is a sports organization and provides to 135 kids the opportunity to practice a
physical activity for a modest registration fee. We want Wilson Park with these new scoreboards to reflect the excellent infrastructure the City provides to
its residents and to the Cupertino Little League community.
“The City will rely heavily on partnerships and collaboration with other service providers in sharing facilities and services, and ensuring that City plans meet
the community's current and future needs. This will allow the City to deliver services in a manner that is efficient and fiscally responsible.”
Cupertino Little League is willing to fund a significant share of the project, which eventually benefits directly the City of Cupertino, as the owner of the
fields. CLL does not foresee any additional capital costs after the scoreboards are taken into service. Moreover, the new scoreboards will be less prone to
malfunction, thus freeing time for City Park staff to focus on more important matters.
To be eligible to play with Cupertino Little League, a player’s parent(s) must live within Cupertino Little League boundaries (which cover most of the City of Cupertino) or attend a school located in Cupertino.
For the Spring season 2024, out of the 130 players (aged 5-16 years old) who registered with CLL, 115 are Cupertino residents (100 families). We expect this ratio of resident/non-resident players to stay constant in the future. These scoreboards can also be used by any
organization renting the fields with the City of Cupertino.
Over the course of Spring season 2023, CLL organized more than 125 baseball games at Wilson Park: these were attended by a total of around 2,600 players and families (including 400 from Cupertino, as well as others from Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Los Altos Little
Leagues). The presence of these boards will reflect positively on the City of Cupertino for all these visitors.
While CLL is the main organization to use the fields at Wilson Park (and hence these
boards), they are available to rent by any organization.

13. Describe how you will promote/advertise your event or activity for awareness to the public.
14. How will your organization fund the program/project/event if the full requested funding amount is not
awarded? If partial funding is awarded, what is the minimum funding amount needed for your program/
project/event to take place?
15. Have you received grant funding from the City of Cupertino in the past? If yes, please describe when, how
much was received, and how the funds were used.
No further capital expenses will be required for this project, there will be no fee for the use
of the boards, besides the regular fees the city charges CLL for the use of the fields.
CLL has, to the best of our knowledge, never received a grant funding from the City of
Cupertino.
Cupertino Little League’s board has already approved the funding of this project from its
capital reserves that it had managed to accumulate in previous years. However this project
will deplete that capital savings. Given the fees for renting fields have increased
significantly during the past years, the league is not able to put as much into reserves as
previously.
Receiving a grant from the City would alleviate the financial pressure on our non-profit
organization and not require us to put this back on the community families participating.
If $20,000 is not an option in 2024, we would like to see that sum divided: $11,500 in 2024
and $11,500 in 2025 for this project (50% of total project costs).
As we expect the boards to be installed for the opening of the Spring season 2025, we will
have an inauguration ceremony as part of our traditional opening day in March 2025 and
we will invite the City Council, the Parks & Recs commission, as well as City Staff. We
expect 300 people to be present at that ceremony.

concerts also allow the children in the community to see all the different wind and percussion
instruments up close. This in turn may spark interest in youth to begin learning a musical
instrument.

Yes, a $4,000 Cupertino grant was awarded in July 2023. Thank you all for the city grant.
The funds have been used to purchase much needed new sheet music, music stands, and
several percussion instruments.
CSB would have to reduce the number of line items purchased, and analyze which items
we could still purchase using our existing savings account. For example, Eliminate the
uniform upgrade, and reduce the quantity of new sheet music purchased.
Publicity for all performances is announced with CSB audience email lists, social media,
flyers posted at local libraries, senior centers, music stores, etc., and in all south bay
community newspapers such as the Cupertino Courier,etc.
P.S. CSB would like to request the help of the City of Cupertino, to post our concert dates

The funds will be allocated strategically across various key areas to enhance both the effectiveness of our current speech members as well as increasing
opportunities for potential members. These include:
1. Tournament Fees Coverage: A portion of the funds will be dedicated to covering tournament costs for competitions that we were unable to attend
previously such as prestigious and expensive travel tournaments such as the tournament of champions and glenbrooks. This initiative aims to provide
more opportunities for our members to compete and qualify for national tournaments.
2. Enhanced Coaching Infrastructure: Another segment of the funds will be directed towards expanding our pool of coaches, specifically dedicated to each
speech event. This expansion will enable us to offer more frequent workshops and personalized feedback sessions to nurture the skills of every student
participant.
3. Boosters Program Expansion: Funds will also be allocated to bolster our boosters program. This expansion will facilitate smooth operations for our
speech program without encountering any financial constraints and ensure a proper management of the funds
4. Summer Camp Enrichment: Most significantly, a substantial portion of the funds will be invested in expanding our summer camp program. This
expansion will extend the duration of the camp, providing students with an extended period of access to high-quality coaching and training. Importantly, the
camp will be offered at no cost to participants, thereby removing financial barriers and fostering inclusivity.
MV Speech Boosters extends the mission of our city by providing support and opportunities
for our student community to take responsibility and leadership roles as well as sharpen their
public speaking and communication/collaboration skills. Our successful feeder middle school
program provides leadership and mentor-ship roles for our speech members. Our success in
tournaments proves the effectiveness of our coaches. The Monta Vista Speech team is
ranked 6th in California and 45th nationwide.
Our grant will primarily serve two target audiences. Firstly, our primary focus is on engaging middle schoolers from Kennedy Middle School and high schoolers from Monta Vista High School. These students represent the core
demographic that MVSD seeks to support and empower through our speech services. Additionally, we are allocating significant resources to extend our reach to a broader audience within Cupertino high schools. This secondary
target market encompasses all high school students in Cupertino, with a particular emphasis on those who may face financial barriers and who demonstrate exceptional dedication to improving their speaking skills. By prioritizing
both established participants from Kennedy and Monta Vista and extending our services to encompass a wider spectrum of Cupertino high school students through free summer programs, MVSD aims to create a more inclusive and
accessible platform for speech education and development within our community.
While in the school year, the MVSD program is only available for Monta Vista high school students and the Kennedy program is only
available to Kennedy middle school students, our additional programs reach out to the rest of the community with limited eligibility
criteria. Through our annual MVSD summer program, anyone can receive public speaking lessons and professional experience free-
of-charge, although the program is recommended and tailored to current or rising high schoolers.

All of MVSD’s programs are free of charge, although donations are encouraged for the high school and middle school
programs to keep the clubs running. Because MVSD attends various tournaments and holds weekly classes/events, funding
is necessary to ensure long-term success and growth. On the other hand, the MVSD Speech Program is completely free of
charge without any donations as our strong budgeting and finances, directed by our booster board, allow us to hold an
annual free speech program over the Summer to contribute to our community.
2021 - we received $3000.00
We spent it on hiring a coach to strengthen the Original Oratory branch of our speech team.
This served about 24% of our team members.
We submitted the report as required in July 2022.
If the full requested funding is not awarded, the main funding allocation will be for the
expansion and enrichment of our summer camp program, as it is the largest priority. This
is because of Monta Vista’s newfound commitment to expand public speaking
opportunities to individuals who are unable to spend large amounts of money.
MVSD’s main mode of promotion and advertisement is through the Monta Vista Speech
Instagram. Whether it be announcing new apparel, upcoming tournaments, or posting
vlogs of our team, the MVSD Instagram has gained a following for personal, well-designed
posts showcasing one of the biggest clubs at Monta Vista. While Instagram effectively
reaches MVSD’s younger audience, communication to the whole family is made through
the Monta Vista Speech email. Through weekly emails, tournaments and major events are
announced to foster an educated and connected community. The email also showcases a
monthly newsletter, where speech families can catch up on all the events of the month and
learn more about tournament winners, meeting activities, etc.

Many low-income seniors have cognition and mobility limits. In addition, their limited means and physical abilities keep them from having
access to healthy recreation activities/ resources, and access to beautiful nature.
Many of them feel lonely, isolated, and anxious after three years of global pandemic. Between 25-30% seniors have reported these mental
health disorders since April 2020 (source: CDC). It can be as high as 60% among the low-income senior group. Memory problems,
cognitive decline and a growing loneliness epidemic, all make seniors especially vulnerable to mental health issues.
Our proposed program and activities are tailored to their needs, adeptive to their physical conditions, and appropriate for their cultural
background.
For instance, we have organized outing to the bay wetlands which are beyond their normal daily reach. We have selected recreation areas
with paved roads / trails accessible to handicapped seniors. We have hosted health fair booths to provide information and resources of
mental health. We organized senior talent shows which received tremendous positive feedback from seniors as they enhanced their
confidence, and showcased their talents. We are also organizing group tour, such as a complimentary culture tour of Hakone Japanese
Garden where we’ll introduce Japanese culture, guide the tour the garden, provide kimono photography opportunities, and offer Japanese
souvenirs.
Our program is well aligned to Cupertino’s general plan principles to improve the sense of connection between neighborhoods and make it
a better place for all residents.
Our program focuses on one of the most vulnerable groups of people to broaden their daily reach boundaries, to take them to enjoy
California natural recreation assets to improve their mental health. It improves the community equity and quality.
We have strong abilities to organize programs to serve the community because we are deeply rooted in the communities to have good
understanding of the needs of the community, engage community members to co-lead projects, co-develop plans and implement programs
tailored to meet the community needs effectively.
We have a solid track record to serve low-income seniors and received very positive community feedback. For instance, we organized
senior talent shows, social gatherings and culture tour for low-income seniors for the past several years. The feedback from the
participants was very positive and our partners gave us high regards.
Our program is free and serves low income seniors in Cupertino. Most of the audience we
serve are people of color who may have limited English language skills.
Our program will serve 60 low income seniors in Cupertino.

We received $2000 from the City of Cupertino to support children’s art education program in
2022, and $4000 to support seniors’ wellbeing in 2023.
We spent all of the grants to serve the community and the target audience and received
tremendous positive feedback from the audience we served.
In 2022, we organized a children's art contest, held children’s art exhibition and multi-
generation art receptionist at Cupertino Library and Cupertino Senior Center. More than
100 Cupertino children and residents participated in our activities.
In 2023, we organized outing to the bay wetlands, hosted health fair booths to provide
information and resources of mental health, seniors talent shows, movie nights, art and
hand craft workshops to serve Cupertino seniors. We are also organizing complimentary
culture tour of Hakone Japanese Garden in March where we’ll introduce Japanese culture,
guide the tour the garden, provide kimono photography opportunities, and offer Japanese
souvenirs. In total, we have and will serve more than 100 seniors in Cupertino.
All comments we received are very positive. Many seniors asked us to continue the
program.
Without the funding from Cupertino, our ability to support the program will be severely
decreased. We will self fund the program via our individual donations, but it is smaller size
of funding, which may lead to dramatic reduction of most programs and possibly shutdown
of the program, which will be a loss for the seniors in Cupertino.
Over the past two years, we have established communication channels with the senior
community in Cupertino - we can send the information directly to seniors via senior living
community, senior center, WVCS and adult day care centers. In addition, we posted our
program flyers at Cupertino library, community centers and at our facebook page to
expand the awareness to more people.

The mission of Special Olympics Northern California is to create an inclusive community where
people
with and without disabilities can make connections, develop healthy lifestyles, achieve success, and
experience the joy of sports.
Our programs are free for participants and strive to challenge stigma, drive inclusivity, and create opportunities for everyone to shine. Our four pillars of
service represent our core programs and demonstrate how we support athletes in all aspects of their lives. Special Olympics Northern California
empowers athletes through sports, health initiatives, school partnerships, and leadership opportunities:
• Sports are at the core of our mission and help to create wins for athletes and communities. Programs begin for children as young as two and expand
into year-round training and competition opportunities for athletes 8-80+ years old. Individuals with intellectual disabilities are supported by coaches,
unified partners, and volunteers to compete, connect, and stay active.
• Health Initiatives help our athletes to be their best on and off the field. Our health initiatives include our Healthy Athletes Health Fairs, Inclusive
Fitness Programs, and Athlete Health Messengers. Healthy Athletes partners with local healthcare professionals and students to offer free non-
invasive screenings in eight disciplines, including podiatry, physical therapy, hearing, nutrition, physical exams, vision, dental, and mental wellness.
Inclusive fitness programs offer walking clubs, fitness seasons, performance stations, and a fitness library that all athletes can access for guided
fitness content. Health Messengers are trained to encourage healthy behaviors for their fellow athletes and advocate for inclusive healthcare outside of
the organization.
• School Partnerships enhance our impact by bringing Special Olympics to school campuses throughout Northern California. Our Unified Sports
Program and Unified Champion Schools help ignite friendship and belonging between students with and without disabilities. Our programs span Pre-K
to Transition Schools and include sports curriculum, youth leadership, and resources for educators. Students receiving special education services are
joined by their general education peers in Unified Sports activities. Additionally, Special Olympics Northern California introduces Pre-K age students
with perceived intellectual disabilities, as well as their peers, to programming through the Special Olympics Young Athletes Program.
• Leadership Opportunities put Special Olympics athletes at the forefront of change, acting as the face and voice of everything we do. Our innovative
Athlete Leadership Program empowers athletes to become advocates for themselves and others with disabilities through skills-based classes,
presentation opportunities, and chances to take on leadership roles. Leadership opportunities better equip athlete leaders for success at school, work,
and in the community. Athletes learn about public speaking, speech writing, and a variety of professional development
skills that help then take on influential roles within the community and excel in their everyday lives.

Funding from the City of Cupertino will offset expenses related to the 2024 Spring Games.
Funding will only be used to cover direct service expenses including meals, facility rentals,
lodging, venue operations, sports equipment, and transportation.
Special Olympics Northern California’s Spring Games event aligns with Cupertino’s goal to embrace diversity in the
community. While Spring games serves all of Santa Clara County, Cupertino is home to the Regional Spring
Games event which creates a space for athletes with intellectual disabilities to showcase their talents and abilities.
The 2024 Spring Games brings athletes, coaches, volunteers, and community members together in the spirit of
inclusion. Athletes will showcase their talents and be celebrated for their diversity. Summer Games events will
include Track and Field, Swimming, and Tennis, and will welcome athletes from Monterey, Santa Cruz, Santa
Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin. The event will feature an Opening Ceremony open to athletes,
families, coached, honored guests, and the community, followed by sports competition, and concluding with an
awards ceremony presented to athletes by local law enforcement officers.
This program serves athletes with intellectual disabilities throughout the counties of Monterey, Santa Cruz, Santa
Clara, San Mateo,
San Francisco, and Marin, however the event itself will take place in Cupertino.
Only Special Olympics Athletes who qualify for the 2024 Spring Games Competition will be eligible to participate in the sports
competition. Athletes compete against each other in local competitions and select athletes qualify to compete in this region-wide
competition. Additional, we recruit volunteers from the City of Cupertino to assist with the competition, giving them the chance to
engage with the athletes and get a firsthand look at what we do. Although the public is not eligible to compete in the event, the entire
community is welcome to attend and spectate at the Opening Ceremony, competitions, and Award Presentations.

STEMBoost, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 2017 by a team of enthusiastic high school
students who shared a deep passion for STEM. Our primary objective is to offer elementary and middle school
students invaluable opportunities in the realm of STEM education. Through active involvement in diverse STEM
activities, we strive to cultivate their comprehension of related disciplines and ignite their aspirations to pursue
STEM careers. In line with our commitment to Science Olympiad initiatives, we actively organize Science Olympiad
Invitationals and serve as proctors for Science Olympiad events. Moreover, we have conducted numerous
workshops on a wide array of STEM topics, further bolstering our dedication to fostering knowledge and curiosity in
these fields.
In 2022, STEMBoost established a Community and International Relations department with the aim of broadening
our reach beyond Silicon Valley. By doing so, we are able to further our dedication to engaging historically
underserved groups within our local community, as well as communities worldwide.

Is your event citywide or targeted to a particular neighborhood, demographic or geographic area? If
targeted, describe your target audience.
The requested fund will support a series of in-person summer workshops offered from June to September in 2024.
The majority of the fund will be used to pay facility rental. Additional expenses include materials such as building
event materials, handouts, small prizes, snacks, and drinks for the volunteers. The topics of the workshops will
cover physics, chemistry, biology, math, computer science, earth science, and engineering. In addition, the depth of
knowledge the workshops cover will vary depending on the topics so that both beginner and advanced students can
find subjects that interest them. For example, while Fundamentals of Physics will explore kinematics in 1 and 2
dimensions, along with force and other common topics, Rotation and Stellar Collapse will focus on the investigation
of stellar collapse using the principles of rotational physics. As described above, each workshop will span 1-4 weeks
with one or multiple 60-90 minute sessions, and the syllabus and instructor’s background will be provided before
registration to help students select the right workshop that fits their interests.
Our proposed program aligns with the City's mission and values perfectly, which is to provide exceptional
service, encourage all members of the community to take responsibility for one another, and support the
values of education, innovation, and collaboration. Additionally, our workshops are open to all Cupertino
residents no matter their income level. As a result, this will also help low-income students gain STEM
learning and education to reduce the gap between them and their more affluent peers. Our program not
only enhances the exposure of elementary school students to STEM but also helps them build a unique
interest in STEM-related topics. In addition, by offering these workshops in the summer, we can effectively
prevent summer learning loss. The new skills and knowledge acquired will reinforce the confidence of the
students and help them thrive in the coming school year.
We will serve all citywide schools, all Cupertino residents who are of grades 2nd-5th.
It will be available to all Cupertino residents who are in grades 2nd-5th.

Unite the Community to Fight Hunger and Homelessness
West Valley Community Services is a non-profit organization providing safety net services to low-
income and homeless individuals and families in the West Valley region of Santa Clara County for
more than 50 years. The mission of West Valley Community Services is to unite the community to
fight hunger and homelessness. Our work is guided by the vision of a community where every
person has food on the table and a roof over their head.
West Valley Community Services offers clients a range of safety net services, including a free
weekly grocery, affordable housing, emergency financial assistance, a mobile food market, family
support, case management, and referral services. Our programs target families with children, at-risk
youth, seniors, individuals, and disabled adults who are extremely low-income, living on a fixed
income, homeless, or are at risk of becoming homeless. Our services are eligible based on federal
poverty determinations, and we serve individuals and families living at or below 275% of the federal
poverty line. For an individual, that is an annual household income of $40,095; for a family of four or
less, that is an annual household income of $82,500 or less.

The December holidays are challenging for many people, as the stress of shopping, cooking, and family get-togethers make for a busy and often draining six weeks. For families living in poverty,
however, the holiday season is particularly stressful. Homeless and low-income families cannot a?ord to purchase gifts - even necessary items such as seasonally appropriate clothing - and often
cannot take the time or pay the travel costs to celebrate the holidays with family. This is particularly di?cult for children, who do not understand why they cannot celebrate seasonal holidays like their
friends and neighbors do. For the last two years, increased cost of living, rent increases, income levels stagnant, and job losses have impacted the low-income and minority communities and added
another layer of intense stress and anxiety on households already struggling to survive.
As a result, the holiday season adds even more stress to the lives of homeless and low-income families. Researchers have found that the stress associated with living in poverty affects all members
of a household, and extreme levels of stress can have long-term negative impacts on young people growing up in low-income households. According to the American Psychological Association,
poverty-induced stress can cause permanent changes to developing brains that negatively impact "children's working memory, problem-solving, and other executive function skills." (Farah)
The Gift of Hope program provides gifts and food to homeless and low-income families in our service area during the December holiday season. Gifts include traditional items, such as toys and small
household appliances, and seasonally appropriate clothing items that families cannot afford, such as jackets, gloves, hats, warm socks, and blankets. In addition to providing much-needed items to
families struggling financially, it relieves the stress caused by the pressure to engage in holiday spending that low-income families cannot afford. The Gift of Hope program also allows families living
in poverty in Cupertino to preserve household assets that would have been spent on holiday gifts so that they can be spent on critical household needs such as rent, utilities, and food.
In summary, the vision of the general plan emphasizes creating a balanced and vibrant
community that is inclusive, safe, and healthy. WVCS and our programs ensure we are
helping build an inclusive community for all ages, income groups, and minorities.
This program will serve low-income households whose annual income is at or below 275% of federal poverty. For
an individual, that is an annual household income of $40,095; for a family of four or less, that is an annual
household income of $82,500 or less.
The program is available to the entire community if they meet the income eligibility
criteria.

Client Story
Theresa is a 35-year-old single mom with three children. Fleeing domestic violence, she lived in
her car with her two youngest children. With limited resources, she could not find a safe place
