Youth Leaders Celebrate "Cesar Chavez Day 2009"

Cesar Estrada Chavez, Senator Robert F. Kennedy noted, was "one of the heroic figures of our time.." A true American hero, Cesar was a civil rights, Latino, farm worker, and labor leader; a religious and spiritual figure; a community servant and social entrepreneur; a crusader for nonviolent social change; and an environmentalist and consumer advocate. Here’s how our “Youth Leaders” celebrated those values.

Neighborhood Watch Celebration

The City of Rosemead Neighborhood Watch program has become a proven success. Currently, the program has 13 Neighborhood Watch Block Captains which I am one of. Under the leadership of Director of Public Safety Services Don Anderson & Public Safety Coordinator Mandy Wong the program continues to gain momentum.

As part of being a block captain I was honored with a new neighborhood watch sign that was installed in front of my residence.

Recently my neighbors and their families celebrated by coming together for an ice cream social and to officially welcome our new sign.

Residents pitch-in to help serve the goodies

Alhambra Educational Foundation Fundraiser

This community supported event raised over 100K for students.  The event was well attended and included elected officials, community leaders, high profile businesses, parents and many volunteers.  This event reminds us of the support that all non-profits need and how much we all depend on individual donations.  I personally participated in the silent auction and did very well on the bidding of a 4 tiered serving plate. Thank you AEF for a great event and John Nunez, Vice President of the AEF for the invitation. For more information and to show your support click HERE

Senate Passes Historic Bipartisan Expansion of National Service

Washington D.C. -- Following House action last week, the United States Senate today voted 79-19 to pass the most sweeping expansion and reform of national service programs in a generation.

After renaming the legislation the “Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act,” the Senate burst into a standing ovation for the Massachusetts Senator, who crafted the legislation along with Senator Hatch and whose entire life has been devoted to public service.

The Senate’s action follows the 321-105 House vote last week in support of H.R. 1388, the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act. The Senate passed a substitute that largely mirrors the House bill, and differences between the versions are minor. House leaders are planning for a vote on the Senate-passed bill as early as Monday.
