To: Mayor Savita Vaidhyanathan,Vice Mayor Darcy Paul,
Council members Rod Sinks, Steve Scharf and Barry Chang
We all know that our community leader, long time Cupertino
resident, former CUSD school district trustee Tommy Shwe has left
us but we are all inspired by his spirit to continue serving our
community. Last month, Mayor Savita and Vice mayor both
expressed support to find a good way to carry on Tommy Shwe's
legacy during the Cupertino Education Endowment Foundation Gala.
APAPA(Asian Pacific American Public Affair) pledges to donate
$2500 annually to CEEF to establish an award -- The Tommy Shwe
Community Bridge Award to a person or organization that makes
extraordinary contribution in bridging communities in the Cupertino
and CUSD area.
We request Cupertino City to join APAPA and CEEF to cosponsor
the Award, but no financial obligation is required. APAPA will donate
$2500 to CEEF each year.
We invite Cupertino City to join the selection committee to choose
the recipient of the award and we will invite more community
organizations to join the sponsorship with APAPA and CEEF.
