A Message From The Supervisor:
As a reminder, we are currently hosting "CHOW FUN" to celebrate APA Heritage Month and Small Business Week in the Excelsior! From May 13 through May 20, CHOW FUN will feature an Asian dine-around to bring together foodies and families for some delicious food and fun! We believe that culture and cuisine are essential elements of a vibrant, thriving community. Experiences like these will affirm and celebrate our heritage, and will help us connect with San Francisco's larger multi-cultural community. Reminder to visit the participating restaurants, get your passport stamped at 3 separate occasions and enter the lucky drawing for a chance to win round trip tickets from Alaska Airlines.

Had a blast visiting students of Monroe Elementary! It was great to answer all their questions about our City. Thank you Principal Dr. Thor and Mr. Rosenberg for inviting me! |
I had an amazing time with Vision to Learn handing out glasses to kids at Gateway Middle School. We are so happy to have advocated for funding for providing vision screening, an eye exam aboard Vision To Learn’s mobile vision clinic, and – as needed - a pair of glasses, all free of charge. This is a phenomenal program!

On Tuesday, I presented a special commendation to the Birth Companions Community Center that is located in my District in honor of Mother’s Day. They do amazing work to support the process of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care with professional Doulas with respect and cultural competency. Thank you for all that you do! |
Great meeting with The San Francisco Alumnae Chapter and San Francisco Peninsula Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the “Divine 9” and more for their 2023 Advocacy Day at City Hall! |
Clinic by the Bay gala with my constituent, Alma! Alma shared her story of how Clinic By The Bay helped her take care of her health. I’m proud to have this amazing organization in my district and look forward to cutting the ribbon later this year on the new facility on Onondaga. Thank you to Janet Reilly, Sarah Gordon, and the rest of the Board of Directors for your tireless efforts to bring free health care to working families who are uninsured. |
Supporting small businesses at the City Hall Small Business Week Pop Up - I picked up some of my favorite sweets from Yvonne’s Southern Sweets and gifts for Mother’s Day from Caryl B skincare! |
